Solving Kinematic Problem of Optimal Nonlinear Stabilization of Arbitrary Program Movement of Free Rigid Body

The kinematic problem of nonlinear stabilization of arbitrary program motion of free rigid body is studied. Biquaternion kinematic equation of perturbed motion of a free rigid body is considered as a mathematical model of motion. Instant speed screw of body motion is considered as a control. There are two functionals that are to be minimized. Both of them characterize the integral quantity of energy costs of control and squared deviations of motion parameters of a free rigid body from their program values.

Dual matrix and biquaternion methods of solving direct and inverse kinematics problems of manipulators for example Stanford robot arm. II

The methology of solving the inverce kinematics problem of manipulators by using biquaternion theory of kinematics control is shown on the example of Stanford robot arm. Solving of the inverce kinematics problem of Stanford robot arm is performed using the simplest control law. The analysis of numerical solution results is made. The efficacy of applying the theory of kinematics control for solving the inverce kinematics problem of manipulators is proved.
