% Jacobian and differential motion demonstration
%
% A differential motion can be represented by a 6-element vector with elements
% [dx dy dz drx dry drz]
%
% where the first 3 elements are a differential translation, and the last 3
% are a differential rotation. When dealing with infinitisimal rotations,
% the order becomes unimportant. The differential motion could be written
% in terms of compounded transforms
%
% transl(dx,dy,dz) * trotx(drx) * troty(dry) * trotz(drz)
%
% but a more direct approach is to use the function diff2tr()
D = [.1 .2 0 -.2 .1 .1]';
delta2tr(D)
% More commonly it is useful to know how a differential motion in one
% coordinate frame appears in another frame. If the second frame is
% represented by the transform
T = transl(100, 200, 300) * troty(pi/8) * trotz(-pi/4);
% then the differential motion in the second frame would be given by
DT = tr2jac(T) * D;
DT'
% tr2jac() has computed a 6x6 Jacobian matrix which transforms the differential
% changes from the first frame to the next.
%------
% The manipulator's Jacobian matrix relates differential joint coordinate
% motion to differential Cartesian motion;
%
% dX = J(q) dQ
%
% For an n-joint manipulator the manipulator Jacobian is a 6 x n matrix and
% is used is many manipulator control schemes.
% We will work with a model of the Puma 560 robot
mdl_puma560
% Two Jacobians are frequently used, which express the Cartesian velocity in
% the world coordinate frame,
%
% We will first choose a particular joint angle configuration for the robot
q = [0.1 0.75 -2.25 0 .75 0]
% and then compute the Jacobian in the world coordinate frame
J = p560.jacob0(q)
% which we can see is 6x6 (since the robot has 6 joints)
% Alternatively the Jacobian can be expressed in the T6 coordinate frame
J = p560.jacobn(q)
% Note the top right 3x3 block is all zero. This indicates, correctly, that
% motion of joints 4-6 does not cause any translational motion of the robot's
% end-effector.
% Many control schemes require the inverse of the Jacobian. The Jacobian
% in this example is not singular
det(J)
% and may be inverted
Ji = inv(J)
% A classic control technique is Whitney's resolved rate motion control
%
% dQ/dt = J(q)^-1 dX/dt
%
% where dX/dt is the desired Cartesian velocity, and dQ/dt is the required
% joint velocity to achieve this.
vel = [1 0 0 0 0 0]'; % translational motion in the X direction
qvel = Ji * vel;
qvel'
% This is an alternative strategy to computing a Cartesian trajectory
% and solving the inverse kinematics. However like that other scheme, this
% strategy also runs into difficulty at a manipulator singularity where
% the Jacobian is singular.
% As already stated this Jacobian relates joint velocity to end-effector
% velocity expressed in the end-effector reference frame. We may wish
% instead to specify the velocity in base or world coordinates.
%
% We have already seen how differential motions in one frame can be translated
% to another. Consider the velocity as a differential in the world frame, that
% is, d0X. We can write
% d6X = Jac(T6) d0X
T6 = p560.fkine(q); % compute the end-effector transform
d6X = tr2jac(T6) * vel; % translate world frame velocity to T6 frame
qvel = Ji * d6X; % compute required joint velocity as before
qvel'
% Note that this value of joint velocity is quite different to that calculated
% above, which was for motion in the T6 X-axis direction.
% At a manipulator singularity or degeneracy the Jacobian becomes singular.
% At the Puma's `ready' position for instance, two of the wrist joints are
% aligned resulting in the loss of one degree of freedom. This is revealed by
% the rank of the Jacobian
rank( p560.jacobn(qr) )
% and the singular values are
svd( jacobn(p560, qr) )
% When not actually at a singularity the Jacobian can provide information
% about how `well-conditioned' the manipulator is for making certain motions,
% and is referred to as `manipulability'.
%
% A number of scalar manipulability measures have been proposed. One by
% Yoshikawa
p560.maniplty(q, 'yoshikawa')
% is based purely on kinematic parameters of the manipulator.
%
% Another by Asada takes into account the inertia of the manipulator which
% affects the acceleration achievable in different directions. This measure
% varies from 0 to 1, where 1 indicates uniformity of acceleration in all
% directions
p560.maniplty(q, 'asada')
% Both of these measures would indicate that this particular pose is not well
% conditioned.
