How to do path planning using only a fixed number of points?
I have a vehicle with cameras to detect different colored cones.
I want to generate a drivable path based on the location of the detected cones.The number of detected cones varies, as it depends on ...

How to solve this basic dynamics/inverse kinematics problem
Suppose I have a 6-DOF robot arm with revolute joints whose tooltip is at some position $\bf{r_0}$ and I want to move it through some trajectory ${\bf r}(t)$.
For simplicity, assume there are just 2 ...

Solving inverse kinematics with non-linear optimization libraries
Is it a good idea to solve inverse kinematics with non-linear optimization libraries such as Ceres?
I've seen examples of Ceres being used to solve IK and it provides elegant, concise solution.
But my ...

3D Rigid Body Pose Optimization in flat euclidean space
I am confused about what is the best way to optimize the 3D pose of an object and the best way to parametrize the translation and rotation for optimization in flat euclidean space.
Assume I have a ...

Equations of motion in matrix form and energy consumption
I am working on Lagrangian derived high-dimensional motion equations for a robot in matrix form. The structure of such an equation is known:
$M(q)\ddot{q}+C(q,\dot{q})\dot{q}+G(q)=0$
In here, $M(q)$, $...

How to estimate gradient of Jerk
A trajectory is described by a position vector, i.e., traj = $[q_0, q_1,...,q_n]$. The objective is to minimize the jerk of the trajectory.
I am referring to this code to understand how the gradient ...
