Sensors in Robotics

In order to allow robots and machines to make efficient use of sensors, motion control systems need to be fed with command variables on-the-fly. Traditional motion generation methods  fail because they cannot compute trajectories from arbitrary initial states while taking into account the actual dynamic capabilities of robots and machines.

Motion Generation

The Reflexxes Motion Libraries contain algorithms to compute robot motion trajectories instantaneously. Smooth and continuous trajectories are provided deterministically within less than one millisecond, so that robots and machines can instantaneously react to sensor signals and events during any motion.

New Features

Reactive robots and machines: instantaneous changes from sensor-guided to trajectory following control; deterministic reactions to sensor events and sensor failures; instantaneously changing reference frames; simple and robust visual servo control; online synchronization of electrical motors; interruptible motion primitives.
