Ok, that makes sense: apparently, I don't understand what is meant by "smooth algorithm". I assumed that it simply means you don't have to stop the manipulator on the path from A to B, but if it's something different, that might be helpful indeed. I'm failing to find a clear definition of what it actually meant when used like that, though.
- lixtra 7y agoSay you want to move from A to B on a circle. A simple algorithm would be to just go the shortest way from A to B which is well defined if A and B are not antipodal. If they are, you could define to always go against the clock. Now this algorithm is fine, but it is not continuous (smooth), because a small variation in an antipodal point gives two vastly different paths.
