Requires: Robotics Module. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.

Use the Dynamics VIs to calculate the forces that act on a robotic arm or to calculate the forces required to move an arm according to the conditions you specify.

Palette Object	Description
Calculate Joint Accelerations	Calculates the joint accelerations that result from applying torques to a robotic arm.
Cartesian Manipulator Inertia	Calculates a matrix that represents the kinetic energy of the end effector of a robotic arm in Cartesian space. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Coriolis Torque	Calculates the joint torques that result from the Coriolis and centripetal forces on the joints of a robotic arm. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Forward Dynamics	Computes the joint angles and movements of a robot arm that result from applying a given amount of torque to the arm over a period of time.
Gravity Loading	Calculates the torque that gravity applies to each joint of a robotic arm. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Inverse Dynamics	Returns the amount of torque required for the robotic arm to achieve the joint positions, velocities, and accelerations you specify. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Joint Manipulator Inertia	Calculates a matrix that represents the kinetic energy of the end effector of a robotic arm in joint space. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
Manipulator Inertia Torque	Calculates the joint torques that result from inertia given the joint accelerations you specify. Wire data to the joint positions input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.
