- Title:
- Inverse Kinematics
- Abstract:
-
An articulated object is often modeled as a set of rigid segments
connected with joints, which have one or more degrees of
freedom. Inverse kinematics is one of the methods used to find the
joint angles for a desired configuration of the model. Most
formulations rely on the solutions of linear systems of equations, which
sometimes present numerical difficulty. A physically meaningful
solution is used in this project to avoid excessive computation. Joint
constraints are also considered for preventing unreachable
configurations of the human model.
6. General Discussion Items
7. Action List
- New shelves have turned up. They are now the right-side up,
but need ends before we bolt them to the wall and start filling them
with books.
- Monodon should be connected to the video switch. We need an RCA
to (BCS)? adaptor that can apparently be picked up at radio shack.
