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 ...

Initial Solution Dynamic Optimization
Community,
For mobile robot-trajectory planning i use dynamic optimization for a system with nonholonomic constraints and dynamics together with a cost function. This works somewhat well, howewer the ...

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, $M(q)$, $...

What's the difference between optimizing a pose graph only once as opposed to optimizing a pose graph whenever loop closures are found?
I am trying to optimize a pose-graph generated through visual odometry with loop closure constraints.
I wanted to know if there are any particular situations where optimizing the graph only once is ...

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 ...
