Full body motion control, while accounting for the additional freedom to self-regulate the progress along the path, is an appealing trade-off. Towards this end, we extend the well-established dual quaternion-based pose-tracking method into a pose-following control law. Specifically, we derive the equations of motion for the full pose error between the geometric reference and the rigid body in the form of a dual quaternion and dual twist. Subsequently, we formulate an almost globally asymptotically stable control law. The global attractivity of the presented approach is validated in a spatial example, while its benefits over pose-tracking are showcased through a planar case-study.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.09507v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.09507v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"pose-following-with-dual-quaternions","repo_url":"https://github.com/jonarriza96/pfdq","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
