Hi Kyle
Thanks for building and maintaining this library, your time and effort is sincerely appreciated.
This PR fixes a bug in the fixed-joint folding optimization where transforms were composed in the wrong order (right-to-left instead of left-to-right), causing incorrect results for robots with sequential fixed joints.
The
origintag of a URDF joint defines the pose of the child link in the coordinate frame of the parent link. To find the pose of a (great-...) grandchild, we have to accumulate the poses in the same order as the kinematic chain.For example, this chain with two fixed joints:
The EE origin in BASE coordinates is at
Which is
T_FIXED_1 * T_FIXED_2, not the other way around.
