ICRMKinematics

This project solves the forward and inverse kinematics of the 5D maipulator. The main project ICRMKinematics\ICRMKinematics includes methods for searching the joint and kinematic parameter space, encapsulating these into a dll. Sub-projects test various aspects of this dll in c++, labview, and matlab.

Configuration notes:

This project depends on Eigen and the nonlinear optimization library and assumes these are placed in the same parent folder as ICRMKinematics. You will need to create the nlopt .lib from the included .def; see the nlopt windows readme.

ICRMKinematics\ICRMKinematics

This contains the forward and inverse kinematics routines. It builds an x86 dll callable by the outer LabVIEW loop. As such, the project properties are:

Configuration: All Configurations, Platform: Win32 (should be Active)
General -- Configuration Type = dll
C/C++ -- All Options -- Additional Include Directories = ....\eigen-eigen-bdd17ee3b1b3; ....\nlopt-2.4.2-dll32;

ICRMKinematics\ICRMKinematics_testDLL

Simple tests of the functions in the exported dll.

ICRMKinematics\matlab

Contains a matlab implementation of the various methods as well as functions for examining the resulting data.
