Abstract— An estimation algorithm is developed for determining pitch and roll angles (tilt) of a rigid body fixed at a pivot using multiple accelerometers. The estimate is globa...
— In recent years, learning models from data has become an increasingly interesting tool for robotics, as it allows straightforward and accurate model approximation. However, in ...
This paper demonstrates that techniques in flexible body dynamics can yield surprising results when applied to rigid bodies. The discussion presents a technique for constructing r...
— This paper presents an analytical model and a geometric numerical integrator for a rigid body connected to an elastic string, acting under a gravitational potential. Since the ...
— Rigid body dynamics with contact constraints can be solved locally using linear complementarity techniques. However, these techniques do not impose the original constraints and...
This paper describes SimRobot, a robot simulator which is able to simulate arbitrary user-defined robots in three-dimensional space. It includes a physical model which is based on...
In this paper we present a novel approach for simulating the rigid body dynamics of a haptically manipulated object using implicit integration. Our formulation requires the linear...
