Optimizations and Performance of a Robotics Grasping Algorithm Described in Geometric Algebra

چکیده
The usage of Conformal Geometric Algebra leads to algorithms that can be formulated in a very clear and easy to grasp way. But it can also increase the performance of an implementation because of its capabilities to be computed in parallel. In this paper we show how a grasping algorithm for a robotic arm is accelerated using a Conformal Geometric Algebra formulation. The optimized C code is produced by the CGA framework Gaalop automatically. We compare this implementation with a CUDA implementation and an implementation that uses standard vector algebra.

متن کاملAcceleration and Energy Efficiency of Geometric Algebra Computations Using Reconfigurable Computers and Gpus
Geometric algebra (GA) is a mathematical framework that allows the compact description of geometric relationships and algorithms in many fields of science and engineering. The execution of these algorithms, however, requires significant computational power that made the use of GA impractical for many real-world applications. We describe how a GA-based formulation of the inverse kinematics probl...
