What is Kine Gattis

Inverse Kinematics are the opposite of Forward Kinematics.

Both are special terms from robotics.

Forward kinematic take the angles of the robots joints and calculates the position and orientation of the end effector.

Inverse kinematics take the position and orientation of the end effector and calculates (in the best case) a set of valid joint angles to get to this position and orientation.

Both is pretty mathematical and can escalate into a lot of C++ code. For example: For making the robots "hand" move along a straight line, the software needs to subdivide the motion into many smaller steps, so you are not noticing that such a robot arm actually can't move in a straight line.

The Canadarm2 and the Dextre are good examples also.

I miss SiameseCat so much.

Thanks Don,I hope he is ok,he has been a stable part of this community for years.

He's been missing for more than a year.

About 2 and a half now.

Hey there, one last for me before going to bed (2AM here)

nite nite !


PS: I'm not a capsule-guy but I love that one !

What mod is that.

What mod is that.

The IDA (International Docking Adapter) is from here:
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=35320

and the Dragon-2 is the recent mod by BrianJ on OH here: orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=7198 (copy and paste as for some reason any link to O-H seems to bug)


I did the scenario myself with ISS A2Z, ISS US, and many other modules for the ISS.

Attaching the MISSE FF experiments, with the Dextre.

How the MISSE experiments were tranfered to the Base on ELC2.

Cool!

Trying to get my manual skills back after a long hiatus. And... well lets face it, the autopilots on the XRs has made me lazy. So after trying to manually land the shuttle at Edwards (and missing badly), I did manage to make it to White Sands (barely).

As my instructor would say:
A landing is ... ! (you know the rest)

Good job :thumbup:

Orbiter has come a long way since I last got into it with the 2006 version. (Using GemFX)

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Phantom labs is open again (going on a 12 hr shift soon, so going to be hit or miss on development)

But anyway, here is the "Direct" proposal. I'll try to work in all 3 of them.
Direct is a "what could have been", but well...
