rt_jacob0 - compute manipulator Jacobian in base coordinate frame[view code]

Calling Sequence

J0 = rt_jacob0(robot, q)

Parameters

Description

This function returns a Jacobian matrix for the robot object robot in the pose q and as expressed in the base coordinate frame.

The manipulator Jacobian matrix maps differential velocities in the joint space to Cartesian velocity of the end-effector expressed in the base coordinate frame.

Examples

   // The following code shows how to use rt_jacob0() to compute the
   // Jacobian matrix for a Puma 560 robot given an arbitrary pose q,
   // as expressed in the base coordinate frame.

   // load Puma 560 parameters
   exec <PATH>/models/rt_puma560.sce;

   // pose definition
   q = [0.1, 0.75, -2.25, 0, 0.75, 0];

   // Jacobian matrix computation in the base coordinate frame
   J0 = rt_jacob0(p560, q);
   disp(J0);                    // display the 6-by-6 Jacobian matrix

   // The following example shows how rt_jacob0() can be used to compute
   // the Jacobian matrix for a simple two link RR planar, given an
   // arbitrary pose q.

   // load two link RR planar parameters
   exec <PATH>/models/rt_twolink.sce;

   // pose definition
   q = [0.75, -0.25];

   // Jacobian matrix computation in the base coordinate frame
   J0 = rt_jacob0(tl, q);
   disp(J0);                    // display the 6-by-2 Jacobian matrix
