Adjust Poses with Pose Adjustment Options (Custom Mode)

You are viewing an old version of the documentation. You can switch to the documentation of the latest version by clicking the top-right corner of the page.

This section introduces how to adjust poses with pose adjustment options in the Custom mode.

Only one pose adjustment option can be added at one time. However, you can add duplicated pose adjustment options.

Flip pose and minimize the angle between the flip axis and target direction

Function

This option attempts to rotate the pose by 180° around the fixed axis, and calculate the angles between the flip axis and the target direction. The result of the attempt with the minimum angle will be selected. This option is usually used for processing match results.

Usage Instructions

Axis to be fixed

When flipping the pose, this parameter is used to set the axis that needs to be fixed. You can choose between X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis according to the actual requirements.

Rotate pose and minimize the angle between the rotation axis and target direction

Function

According to the set rotational symmetry, this option attempts to rotate the pose around the fixed axis, and calculate the angles between the rotation axis and the target direction. The result of the attempt with the minimum angle will be selected.

Usage Instructions

Axis to be fixed

When rotating the pose, this parameter is used to set the axis that needs to be fixed. You can choose between X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis according to the actual requirements.

Axis to be rotated

When rotating the pose, this parameter is used to set the axis that needs to be rotated. You can choose between X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis according to the actual requirements.

Symmetry angle

This parameter is used to specify the symmetry angle when rotating the poses. The software will attempt to rotate the poses in the Symmetry angle increments.

Rotate pose axis to target direction

Function

When there is no restraint from symmetry, this option rotates the rotation axis of the pose to the target direction. This option is usually used to make the Z-axis of the pose coincide with the Z-axis of the robot reference frame.

Usage Instructions

Axis to be fixed

When rotating the pose, this parameter is used to set the axis that needs to be fixed. You can choose between X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis according to the actual requirements.
