Transform Trajectory

Time point along trajectory, specified as a scalar or vector. In general, when specified as a scalar, this value is synced with simulation time and is used to specify the time point for sampling the trajectory. The block outputs a vector of the trajectory variables at that instant in time. If the time is specified as a vector, the block outputs a matrix with each column corresponding to each element of the vector.

Initial transformation matrix, specified as a 4-by-4 homogeneous transformation. The function generates a trajectory that starts at the initial orientation, T0, and goes to the final orientation, TF.

Example: trvec2tform([1 10 -1])

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the Waypoint source to External.

Final transformation matrix, specified as a 4-by-4 homogeneous transformation. The function generates a trajectory that starts at the initial orientation, T0, and goes to the final orientation, TF.

Time scaling time points, specified as a scalar or n p-element vector, where p is the number of points for time scaling. By default, the time scaling is a linear time scaling spanning the TimeInterval. Specify the actual time scaling values in TimeScaling.

If the Time input is specified at a time not specified by these points, interpolation is used to find the right scaling time.

Time scaling vector and its first two derivatives, specified as a three element vector or a 3-by-p matrix, where m is the length of TSTime. By default, the time scaling is a linear time scaling spanning the TimeInterval.

For a nonlinear time scaling, specify the values of the time points in the first row. The second and third rows are the velocity and acceleration of the time points, respectively. For example, to follow the path with a linear velocity to the halfway point, and then jump to the end, the time-scaling would be:

s(1,:) = [0 0.25 0.5 1 1 1] % Position
s(2,:) = [1    1   1 0 0 0] % Velocity
s(3,:) = [0    0   0 0 0 0] % Acceleration

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, select the Use custom time scaling check box and set Parameter source to External.

To specify a three-element vector, the Time and TSTime inputs must be a scalar.

Homogeneous transformation matrices, returned as a 4-by-4-by-m homogenous matrix array, where m is the number of points input to Time.

Transform velocities, returned as a 6-by-m matrix, where m is the number of points input to Time. Each row of the vector is the angular and linear velocity of the transform as [wx wy wz vx vy vz]. w represents an angular velocity and v represents a linear velocity.

Transform velocities, returned as a 6-by-m matrix, where m is the number of points input to Time. Each row of the vector is the angular and linear acceleration of the transform as [alphax alphay alphaz ax ay az]. alpha represents an angular acceleration and a represents a linear acceleration.
