Does ros have some package that can provide linear and circular interpolation

hello, I am using ros to control a six-dof robot arm and can realize inverse kinematics.

Now I want to control it to move in the cartesian space, which may need linear and circular interpolation, so how could achieve this fastly as I am new about this and does ros have some package can help me do this?

Thank you for help!

In the DRC we used piecewise linear cartesian motions to approximate circular motion. A helper function for this is getCircularArcPoses , which just generates poses lying on a circular arc. An example of it being called is here. The poses are then forwarded to MoveIt's cartesian planner starting here and then sent to the robot for execution.

Linear interpolation for tool space movements is often accomplished by using the “Linear Segments with Parobolic Blends” (LSPB) method. Such a method is required to account for physical motor limitations such as instantaneous velocity changes. Refer to chapter five in this text in http://bayanbox.ir/view/8445052974254... . Page 177 introduces Linear Segments with Parobolic Blends. Use these equations in tool space (Cartesian xyz).

this is also a good trajectory generation source http://www-lar.deis.unibo.it/people/c...

Step 1) define goal points (i.e. taught points..) Step 2) solve LSPB along the vectors connecting the goal points (solving x, y, z components independently) which gives all the needed waypoints Step 3) convert each waypoint to joint space using IK.
