Function Documentation
Defines a free joint between links. A free joint is a dummy joint imposing no constraint between the relative movements of the links. It is used to see a different free flying mechanisms as a single mechanism. This basically simplify the structures we use (we don't have to implement a multi-mechanism stucture, for instance) and the generation of equations from the mechanism definition can be easily implemented with a single ground link. Up to now we hardly used/tested this type of joints.

Defines a fix joint between links. A fix joint fixes the relative translation and orientation between two links. Fix joints are typically used when placing the end effector of a robot to compute its inverse kinematics.

Defines a new revolute joint between two links. Note that we assume centered rotations, that is, if there is any limit in the rotation it is always in the for of a symmetric interval [-range,range]. This is completely general (by defining appropriate reference vectors the rotation range can be made symmetric around 0 and it helps when defining constraints.

Defines the lower part of a spherical-spherical composite joint between two links. NOTE: sph_sph_low joints are used to connect legs. The rotation about the leg axis is not relevant and thus, these joints can be seen as providing only two dof. However, when using a joint-based representation the third dof can not be ignored. This is so because when using a link-based formulation the rotation is fixed (arbitrarily but fixed) and the third dof is necessary to perfectly match the trnsformation when translating from joints to links and the reverse.

Defines a new in-patch joint between two links. An in-patch joint is a generalization of a planar joint where the plane is replaced by a order one Bezier patch. This patch is defined by 4 points. When the four points are coplanar this joint is a planar joint. This type of joints are basically used to define contact between links.

Returns the identifier of the joint coupled with the query joint. Note that up to now we have a very limited implementation of the coupling between joints: Only revolute joints (with limits) can be coupled and always with a 1 to 1 relation. If we have a pair of joints coupled (j1,j2) with j1 having a lower identifier than j2 (i.e., appearing before in the mechanism definition), this function only returns something different from NO_UINT for j2. In other words, the function only identifies the coupled but not the original joint.

Adds to the given cuiksystem the variables and equations necessary to deal with the joint ranges. For prismatic joints this is one variable and its associated range. For revolute joints, we have to define two vectors one associted with link1 and the other link2 and define the scalar and vector products (this produces a third vector aligned with the rotation axis) to get the cosinus/sinus of the rotated angle that are then bounded given the range for the allowed rotation between the two links.

Adds to the given equations the constraints of a joint Before using this method, the variables and equations for individual joints have to be generated (using GenerateJointEquations). When considered in a sequence, joints define a sum of vectors taking from the origin of the frame of reference of one link to the origin of the frame of reference for the next link. When these sums are taken on a closed branch, we get the loop equations. Since links and joints are defined in 3D, summing vectors defined on links and joints define 3 equations, one for X, one for Y, and another for Z.

In tensegrity systems the forces exerced by the joints coincident in a given link should be balanced. Only STRUT, BAR, and CABLE joints can be used in tenegrities. STRUTS and BARS are compressed and CABLEs are in tension. The sum of compressions and tensions should vanish at each link (i.e. node).

Solution points only include values for the system variables (and secondary). However, in some formulations, the frame joint equations use not only system/secondary variables, but, for instance, dummy variable too. This function computes the values for the joint-related non-basis variables form the basic ones for a given joint. Currently only the IN_PATCH_JOINT uses dummy variables but this can change in the future.

Generates the joint related variables in a solution from the homogeneous transforms of the two links involved in the joint and the values of the degrees of freedom for this joint. This is part of the mechanism to transform from dof information to a solution point in the cuik form (so that in can be plotted, etc). This is transforms2samples, but using the dofs to facilitate the computations. Actually the dofs could be computed from the transforms using GetJointTransform but having them facilitates the computation (see GetLinkTransformsFromSolution for the inverse operation, i.e samples2transforms). Since the dofs are finally (marginally) used, this can also be seen as dof2samples (see GetJointDOFValues for the inverse). The rest of the dof2samples is implemented in GenerateLinkSolution.

Recovers the joint DOFs given the poses of the two links connected by the joint. This function recovers the joint parameters such that t2=t1*T where T is the transform sequence resulting from GetJointTransSeq. This is the transforms2dof (the inverse of GetJointTransform) Since the transforms are computed from samples, this is also samples2dof, i.e., the inverse of GenerateJointSolution + GenerateLinkSolution. Note that dofs are only associated with joints and, thus there is no need for a GetLinkDOFValues to complete the inverse.
