Detailed Description

Constrains that the angle between a vector a and another vector b is between [θ_lower, θ_upper].

a is fixed to a frame A, while b is fixed to a frame B. Mathematically, if we denote a_unit_A as a expressed in frame A after normalization (a_unit_A has unit length), and b_unit_B as b expressed in frame B after normalization, the constraint is cos(θ_upper) ≤ a_unit_Aᵀ * R_AB * b_unit_B ≤ cos(θ_lower)

Constructs an AngleBetweenVectorsConstraint.

Parameters
plantThe MultibodyPlant on which the constraint is imposed. plant should be alive during the lifetime of this constraint.
frameAThe Frame object for frame A.
a_AThe vector a fixed to frame A, expressed in frame A.
frameBThe Frame object for frame B.
b_BThe vector b fixed to frame B, expressed in frameB.
angle_lowerThe lower bound on the angle between a and b. It is denoted as θ_lower in the class documentation.
angle_upperThe upper bound on the angle between a and b. it is denoted as θ_upper in the class documentation.
plant_contextThe Context that has been allocated for this plant. We will update the context when evaluating the constraint. plant_context should be alive during the lifetime of this constraint.
Precondition
frameA and frameB must belong to plant.
Exceptions
std::exceptionif plant is nullptr.
std::exceptionif a_A is close to zero.
std::exceptionif b_B is close to zero.
std::exceptionif angle_lower is negative.
std::exceptionif angle_upper ∉ [angle_lower, π].
std::exceptionif plant_context is nullptr.
