Description : Orocos Kinematics and Dynamics Library
Orocos project to supply RealTime usable kinematics and dynamics code,
it contains code for rigid body kinematics calculations and
representations for kinematic structures and their inverse and forward
kinematic solvers. This package contains the development files
of the library.
- why is this package useful/relevant?
Yes, it's a good kinematics and dynamics library, especially for kinematic
chains.
- is it a dependency for another package? do you use it? if there are other packages
providing similar functionality, how does it compare?
A lot of robotics packages use it. We use it in our lab. AFAIK, not other
are so complete and well designed.
- how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team?
Inside debian-science team. I have done a preliminary work in:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/orocos/kdl.git
- are you looking for co-maintainers? do you need a sponsor?
Yes, both. Any help will be welcome. It's better to have co-maintainers.
