Robot4 0.52
Robot4 (tm) is a Robotic Arm Movement program where the arm is moved from a given position to a desired position. The program finds the angles necessary for the desired position. (I think this is the idea!) Problem came from NASA. Robot4 is an Inverse Problem(IP) example. It wants to solve how to move from starting point `A` to target point `B`. Solutions to IPs are easy with a Calculus-level programming language. See file `Rob4User.fc` for solution code.
FC-Win 1.16
FC-Win (tm) is a front-end program for Fortran Calculus (tm). The Fortran Calculus (FC) language is for math modeling, simulation, and optimization. FC is based on Automatic Differentiation (AD) that simplifies computer code to an absolute minimum; i.e., a mathematical model, constraints, and the objective (function) definition. Minimizing the amount of code allows the user to concentrate on the science or engineering problem at hand and not on the (numerical) process requirements to achieve an optimum solution.
