Joint Manipulator Inertia VI
Owning Palette: Dynamics VIs
Requires: Robotics Module
Calculates a matrix that represents the kinetic energy of the end effector of a robotic arm in joint space. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

joint positions specifies the joint angles that make up the robotic arm pose for which you want to calculate the solution. |
![]() |
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. |
