virtual void UNIVERSALJOINT::calc_constraint_jacobian	(	bool	inboard,
		MATRIXN &	Cq
	)

virtual

Computes the constraint Jacobian for this joint with respect to the given body.

Parameters

inboard	'true' if the Jacobian is to be computed w.r.t. the inboard link; 'false' for the outboard
Cq	a 6 x ndof matrix for the given body (on return)

Implements JOINT.

virtual void UNIVERSALJOINT::calc_constraint_jacobian_dot	(	bool	inboard,
		MATRIXN &	Cq
	)

virtual

Computes the time derivative of the constraint Jacobian for this joint with respect to the given body.

Parameters

inboard	'true' if the Jacobian is to be computed w.r.t. the inboard link; 'false' for the outboard
Cq	a 6 x ndof matrix for the given body (on return)

Implements JOINT.

virtual void UNIVERSALJOINT::evaluate_constraints ( REAL C[] )

virtual

Evaluates the constraint equations for this joint.

When the joint constraints are exactly satisfied, the result will be the zero vector.

Parameters

Note: only used by maximal-coordinate articulated bodies

Implements JOINT.

virtual boost::shared_ptr<const POSE3> UNIVERSALJOINT::get_induced_pose ( )

virtual

The local transform for the joint transforms the coordinate frame attached to the joint center and aligned with the inner link frame.

Implements JOINT.

virtual const std::vector<SVELOCITY>& UNIVERSALJOINT::get_spatial_axes ( )

virtual

Gets the spatial axes for this joint.

Spatial axes describe the motion of the joint. Note that for rftype = eLink, spatial axes are given in outboard link's frame.

Reimplemented from JOINT.

virtual const std::vector<SVELOCITY>& UNIVERSALJOINT::get_spatial_axes_dot ( )

virtual

Abstract method to get the spatial axes derivatives for this joint.

Only applicable for reduced-coordinate articulated bodies

Implements JOINT.

virtual void UNIVERSALJOINT::update_spatial_axes ( )

virtual

Abstract method to update the local spatial axes.

Only applicable for reduced-coordinate articulated bodies

Reimplemented from JOINT.
