RpyFloatingJoint< T > Class Template Referencefinal

Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class drake::multibody::RpyFloatingJoint< T >

This Joint allows a rigid body to move freely with respect to its parent rigid body.

This is most commonly used to allow a body to move freely with respect to the World, but can be used with any parent. More precisely, given a frame F attached to the parent body P and a frame M attached to the child body B (see the Joint class's documentation), this joint allows frame M to translate and rotate freely with respect to F, introducing six degrees of freedom. However, unlike the QuaternionFloatingJoint, the orientation of M relative to F is parameterized with roll-pitch-yaw angles (see warning below). The generalized coordinates q for this joint are the three orientation angles followed by three generalized positions to describe the translation of frame M's origin Mo in F with a position vector p_FM. As generalized velocities, we use the angular velocity w_FM of frame M in F (not the orientation angle time derivatives q̇) and the linear velocity v_FM of frame M's origin Mo in frame F.

Warning
Any three-parameter representation of orientation necessarily has a singularity somewhere. In this case, the singularity occurs when the pitch angle (second generalized coordinate q) is at π/2 + kπ (for any integer k), and numerical issues may occur when near one of those configurations. If you can't be sure your simulation will avoid the singularities, consider using the singularity-free QuaternionFloatingJoint instead.
Template Parameters
TThe scalar type, which must be one of the default scalars.

const Frame< T > &  frame_on_parent,
const Frame< T > &  frame_on_child,
double  angular_damping = 0.0,
double  translational_damping = 0.0 
)

Constructor to create an rpy floating joint between two bodies so that frame F attached to the parent body P and frame M attached to the child body B move freely relative to one another.

See this class's documentation for further details on the definition of these frames and the generalized positions q and generalized velocities v for this joint. This constructor signature creates a joint with no joint limits, i.e. the joint position, velocity and acceleration limits are the pair (-∞, ∞). These can be set using the Joint methods set_position_limits(), set_velocity_limits() and set_acceleration_limits().

The first three arguments to this constructor are those of the Joint class constructor. See the Joint class's documentation for details. The additional parameters are:

Parameters
[in]angular_dampingViscous damping coefficient in N⋅m⋅s for the angular component of this joint's velocity, used to model losses within the joint. See documentation of default_angular_damping() for details on modeling of the damping force.
[in]translational_dampingViscous damping coefficient in N⋅s/m for the translational component of this joint's velocity, used to model losses within the joint. See documentation of default_translational_damping() for details on modeling of the damping force.
Exceptions
std::exceptionif angular_damping is negative.
std::exceptionif translational_damping is negative.

Member Function Documentation

◆ default_angular_damping()

double default_angular_damping ( ) const

Returns this joint's default angular damping constant in N⋅m⋅s.

The damping torque (in N⋅m) is modeled as τ = -damping⋅ω, i.e. opposing motion, with ω the angular velocity of frame M in F (see get_angular_velocity()) and τ the torque on child body B (to which M is rigidly attached).

◆ default_translational_damping()

double default_translational_damping ( ) const

Returns this joint's default translational damping constant in N⋅s/m.

The damping force (in N) is modeled as f = -damping⋅v i.e. opposing motion, with v the translational velocity of frame M in F (see get_translational_velocity()) and f the force on child body B at Mo.

◆ DoAddInDamping()

void DoAddInDamping ( const systems::Context< T > &  context,
MultibodyForces< T > *  forces 
) const
finalprotectedvirtual

Joint<T> override called through public NVI, Joint::AddInDamping().

Therefore arguments were already checked to be valid. This method adds into the translational component of forces for this joint a dissipative force according to the viscous law f = -d⋅v, with d the damping coefficient (see default_translational_damping()). This method also adds into the angular component of forces for this joint a dissipative torque according to the viscous law τ = -d⋅ω, with d the damping coefficient (see default_angular_damping()).

Reimplemented from Joint< T >.

◆ DoAddInOneForce()

) const
finalprotectedvirtual

Joint<T> override called through public NVI, Joint::AddInForce().

Adding forces per-dof for this joint is not supported. Therefore, this method throws an exception if invoked.

Implements Joint< T >.

◆ get_angles()

Vector3<T> get_angles ( const Context< T > &  context) const

Gets the roll-pitch-yaw rotation angles of this joint from context.

The orientation R_FM of the child frame M in parent frame F is parameterized with roll-pitch-yaw angles (also known as space-fixed x-y-z Euler angles and extrinsic angles). That is, the angles θr, θp, θy, correspond to a sequence of rotations about the Fx, Fy, and Fz axes of parent frame F, respectively. Mathematically, rotation R_FM is given in terms of angles θr, θp, θy by:

  R_FM(q) = Rz(θy) * Ry(θp) * Rx(θr)

where Rx(θ), Ry(θ) and Rz(θ) correspond to the elemental rotations in amount of θ about the Fx, Fy and Fz axes respectively. Zero θr, θp, θy angles corresponds to frames F and M having the same orientation (their origins may still be separated). Angles θr, θp, θy are defined to be positive according to the right-hand-rule with the thumb aligned in the direction of their respective axes.

Note
Space x-y-z angles (extrinsic) are equivalent to Body z-y-x angles (intrinsic).
