Use of Joint Sensors
Display angle of revolute joint 1
• Joint Sensor measures linear/angular position, velocity, acceleration, computed force/torque and/or reaction force/torque of a Joint primitive.
Use of Joint Sensors and Actuators
Actuate with motion:
• No angular acceleration
• Angular velocity of 180 degrees /sec.
• Angular position is the integral of angular acceleration
Display reaction torques measured on Follower (not Base)
• Joint Sensor provides reaction torques about the X,Y, and Z axes
Introduction of a Servomotor Model
• Modified servomotor model that provides access to the angular acceleration, velocity, and position of the motor.
