Abstract

CINEGEN is a Virtual Reality based system for the rapid design, prototyping and simulation of robot manipulators. With CINEGEN, users provide a text description of a manipulator and a numerical algorithm automatically computes the inverse kinematics. This algorithm is capable of handling serial, parallel and hybrid manipulator structures.
