Cartesian Wrench Controller

Overview

The Cartesian Wrench Controller commands a desired wrench to a chain of joints. The chain of joints is a set of joints that spans from some link (the "root" link) to another link (the "tip" link). The wrenches are applied at the origin of the tip link in the frame of the root link.
