Inferring joint orientation on multi-joint arm

Not a robotics question in the strictest sense, I guess, but related closely enough, I hope: I have an arm-like articulated two(-plus-one)-joint appliance that I want to use as a 3D input device. It ...

Undo pitching effect of camera when pose (y-axis) is near 90 degrees?

I am using KITTI odometry dataset whereby the camera's axis is pointing X (east), Y (down) and Z (north). It also contain the frame to frame poses of the camera (first pose is fixed as the map frame). ...

How unique are Quarternions and what about the sign?

I want to track a robot's orientation in space and wanted to choose quaternions for their many advantages. However I have a few questions that I haven't found to be solved anywhere. The method I use ...

how to adjust mobile robot orientation If an obstacle is detected within the minimum safety distance?

I do have calculated a trajectory for holonomic and omnidirectional mobile robot and make the robot follow the pre-defined trajectory making use of the resolved-velocity control. However, in some ...

Looking for benchmarks on Apriltag pose estimation

we want to know if we can use Apriltags in our project for pose estimation in rather long distances and on moving target. Specifically, correcting errors of an IMU device on an autonomous vehicle. I ...

Why does AHRS system with Madgwick filter has so big drift?

I have an MPU9250 on my PCB and I use an AHRS system with a Madgwick filter to get yaw angle. I want to get very accurate and non-drifting yaw angle, but, for unknown reasons, I can't. I calibrated ...

Does GY-271 (HMC5583L) or any 3-axis magnetometer suitable to detect orientation?

Based on the datasheet, HMC5583L has 160Hz output rate and produce three axis direction angle data, X, Y, and Z. It can measure diversion from Earth magnet field with 1° to 2° accuracy. Does that ...

Yaw, Pitch, Roll rate concepts and how to calculate them with an IMU

I need help understanding the difference from Y/P/R rate and the data that I can get from a gyroscope. I am using the raw readings of my IMU (MPU9250) and the Madwick Filter to calculate a quaternion ...

How to get RPY(Roll, Pitch, Yaw) from directional cosines from a single vector?

I'm trying to find the pose of an 3D vector in terms of RPY. Let's say the two end points of the vector is P0(x0, y0, z0) and P1(x1, y1, z1). So the centered vector I get is V(Vx, Vy, Vz) = P1 - P0 = (...

Does the Factored Quaternion Algorithm Account for Declination?

Looking at the documentation for the Factored Quaternion Algorithm (FQA). In section 2 they define NED as the traditional Earth's fixed coordinate system, thereby referring to 'true' north. However, ...
