US Patent Issued to PHYSIK INSTRUMENTE (PI) on Jan. 27 for "Acceleration of direct and indirect kinematics" (German Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,533,804, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to PHYSIK INSTRUMENTE (PI) SE & Co. KG (Germany).

"Acceleration of direct and indirect kinematics" was invented by Erik Mankin (Karlsruhe, Germany).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A kinematic system is provided having a more efficient calculation of the direct and/or indirect kinematics. The direct/indirect kinematics of a kinematic system are estimated on the basis of local support points. In particular, when estimating the indirect kinematics, an interpolation is used which, for poses in a determined spatial unit, is based on predetermined configuration vectors which are each associated with a bou...
