cinertia.m

Robotics TOOLBOX The Toolbox provides many functions that are useful in robotics including such thi

%CINERTIA Compute the Cartesian (operational space) manipulator inertia matrix
%
%	M = CINERTIA(ROBOT, Q)
%
% Return the n x n inertia matrix which relates Cartesian force/torque to 
% Cartesian acceleration.
% ROBOT is an n-axis robot object and describes the manipulator dynamics and 
% kinematics, and Q is an n element vector of joint state.
