Manipulator forward dynamics
QDD = accel(R, Q, QD, TORQUE) QDD = accel(R,X)
QDD = accel(R, Q, QD, TORQUE)
is a vector (Nx1) of joint accelerations that result
from applying the actuator force/torque to the manipulator robot in state Q and QD.
If Q, QD, TORQUE are matrices (KxN) then QDD is a matrix (KxN) where each row
is the acceleration corresponding to the equivalent rows of Q, QD, TORQUE.
QDD = accel(R, X)
as above but X=[Q,QD,TORQUE]
Uses the method 1 of Walker and Orin to compute the forward dynamics.
This form is useful for simulation of manipulator dynamics, in conjunction with a numerical integration function.
