Journal ArticleDOI
On homogeneous transforms, quaternions, and computational efficiency
TL;DR: A robust algorithm for converting rotational matrices into equivalent unit quaternions, and an efficient quaternion-based inverse kinematics solution for the Puma 560 robot arm is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A computational analysis of screw transformations in robotics
J. Funda,Richard P. Paul +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the dual-unit quaternion representation offers the most compact and most efficient screw transformation formalism but that line-oriented methods in general are not well suited for efficient kinematic computations or real-time control applications.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A comparison of transforms and quaternions in robotics
J. Funda,Richard P. Paul +1 more
TL;DR: The two approaches to three-dimensional modeling of rotations and translations in robot kinematics are shown to be essentially equivalent in the absence of the need for frequent renormalization of rotational operators.
