What is Real-Time?!

When the simulation clock reaches a certain time in real-time simulation, the same amount of time must have passed in the real world.Real-Time Windows Target™ (now Simulink Desktop Real-Time™) and xPC Target™ (now Simulink Real-Time™) are no the same! Simulink® Real-Time™ lets you create real-time applications from Simulink models and run...

How to install GraspIt!

GraspIt! was created to serve as a tool for grasping research. It is a simulator that can accommodate arbitrary hand and robot designs. It can also load objects and obstacles of arbitrary geometry to populate a complete simulation world. The GraspIt! engine includes a rapid collision detection and contact determination...

Analytical Jacobian VS. Geometrical Jacobian

The analytical jacobian is directly differential from forward kinematic, and geometric jacobian is considered the geometric relation. The important point is that angular velocity does not have an integral like associated term like "angular position".ANALYTICAL JACOBIANdifferential quantities in the operational space.GEOMETRICAL JACOBIANquantities of clear physical meaning. Note that $$\dot x... [Read More]
