Dynamic Equilibrium
Checking the dynamic equilibrium of a climbing robot is essential to plan safe locomotion. This project focuses on including the grasping performance in a simple equilibrium detection that considers inertial accelerations. The proposed equilibrium polyhedron defines the stable region for the gravito-inertial acceleration vector, applicable to any gravity field.
