Robotics operators
6 operators in the robotics category of the live registry. Each is a named formula you can compose inside a state contract or call directly through POST /api/zeq/compute. KO42 is always on; add up to three more per call (total ≤ 4), per the 7-step protocol.
| Operator | Description | Equation |
|---|---|---|
FORWARD_KINEMATICS | Forward kinematics computing end-effector pose by chaining homogeneous transformation matrices along the kinematic chain of a serial manipulator. | T_n^0 = \prod_{i=1}^n A_i(\theta_i) |
INVERSE_KINEMATICS | Resolved-rate inverse kinematics mapping desired end-effector velocity to joint velocities through the inverse of the manipulator Jacobian. | \dot{\theta} = J^{-1}(\theta) \dot{x} |
JACOBIAN | Manipulator Jacobian matrix relating joint-space velocities to task-space velocities through partial derivatives of the forward kinematic map. | J = \frac{\partial x}{\partial \theta} |
PATH_PLANNING | A-star search algorithm finding the shortest path by combining actual cost from start with a heuristic estimate of remaining cost to goal. | f(n) = g(n) + h(n) |
TORQUE_DYNAMICS | Manipulator equation of motion relating joint torques to inertia, Coriolis and centrifugal effects, and gravitational loading in joint space. | \tau = M(\theta)\ddot{\theta} + C(\theta,\dot{\theta})\dot{\theta} + G(\theta) |
TRAJECTORY_PLANNING | Cubic polynomial trajectory interpolation generating smooth joint-space motion profiles satisfying position and velocity boundary conditions. | \theta(t) = a_0 + a_1 t + a_2 t^2 + a_3 t^3 |

The response carries the bare physics value, its unit and uncertainty, the generated master equation, and a signed envelope you can verify on any node.
