Detailed Description

Constrains a target point T to be within a cone K.

The point T ("T" stands for "target") is fixed in a frame B, with position p_BT. The cone originates from a point S ("S" stands for "source"), fixed in frame A with position p_AS, with the axis of the cone being n, also fixed in frame A. The half angle of the cone is θ. A common usage of this constraint is that a camera should gaze at some target; namely the target falls within a gaze cone, originating from the camera eye.

Mathematically the constraint is p_ST_Aᵀ * n_unit_A ≥ 0 (p_ST_Aᵀ * n_unit_A)² ≥ (cosθ)²p_ST_Aᵀ * p_ST_A where p_ST_A is the vector from S to T, expressed in frame A. n_unit_A is the unit length directional vector representing the center ray of the cone.

Parameters

plant	The MultibodyPlant on which the constraint is imposed. `plant` should be alive during the lifetime of this constraint.

std::exception	if `n_A` is close to zero.
std::exception	if `cone_half_angle` ∉ [0, π/2].
