Description

This project implements constraint and task space projection for OpenSim v4.0. The purpose is to design well documented, very simple and light-weighted API where the user can plan a movement in task space and perform simulations in a mixed dynamics manner. A mixed dynamics scheme is a combination of an inverse dynamics controller (equations of motion in task space) that feds a forward dynamics module.

The underlying task space controller supports task prioritization [1] and constraint modeling [2-3]. As the constraints are implicitly accounted in the inverse dynamics model this implementation is able to simulate accurately models that use constraints. Examples include: absolute (Cartesian) coordinates, closed kinematics chains and complex joint configurations (e.g. shoulder, knee) [4].

Examples can be found in the src/taskspace/examples folder. Results are stored in the data/results dir. All models are located in the data/ dir.

ExampleTaskBasedControl.cpp: a minimum working example of controlling a single body in task space
ExampleAbsoluteCoordinates.cpp: a two body model built using absolute coordinates and constraints for modeling the joint restrictions, with a position planning controller (task space) of the end-effector body; a selection matrix has been used to model under-actuation
ExampleClosedKinematicChain.cpp: three bodies are arranged in a closed kinematic chain topology and the planning is performed by defining the orientation of one of the bodies in task space
ExampleArm26.cpp: a musculoskeletal model that is controlled by multiple prioritized tasks where the muscle excitation that track the task goals are estimated using Task Space Computed Muscle Control [5]
