CPositionen

CPositionen is a term encountered in certain technical writings to denote a designated set of positions or configurations in a system's state space. The precise meaning varies by discipline, and there is no single universal definition in use across fields.

In robotics and computer graphics, CPositionen is often used to refer to a finite or discretized collection of configurations that describe the pose or arrangement of a mechanism or model. Each CPosition can include position coordinates and orientation data, typically expressed as a vector in a configuration space (C-space) or as a set of joint angles and bone transforms.

Applications include motion planning, animation, and pose estimation, where a dataset of CPositionen serves as waypoints, key poses, or repository of valid states. In planning, algorithms may search through the CPositionen to determine a feasible path between start and goal configurations. In animation, CPositionen can correspond to discrete key poses used to drive interpolation.

CPositionen is related to, but distinct from, concepts such as configuration space, pose, joint configuration, and keyframe. The term is not uniformly defined and its exact interpretation depends on the modeling assumptions of a given project or publication.

Because usage varies, readers should check the specific source to understand what is meant by CPositionen in that context.
