InverseKinematics module

class pydrake.multibody.inverse_kinematics.AngleBetweenVectorsConstraint

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)

class pydrake.multibody.inverse_kinematics.GazeTargetConstraint

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.
