A New Quantum-computing-based Algorithm for Robotic Arms and Rigid Bodies’ Orientation

摘要

Quantum computing model of robotic arm orientation is presented. Spherical and vector coordinates, a homogenous rotation matrix, Pauli gates and quantum rotation operators are used to formulate the orientation model and establish a new algorithm. The quantum algorithm uses a single qubit to compute orientation and has the advantage of operation reversibility. This was validated for a SCARA robot and a five-joints articulated robotic arm. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
