Input joint positions instead of joint angles

[jolink]

I think it would be beneficial to add a function to update the model with joint positions instead of joint angles. That way it would be compatible with and easy to apply to current state-of-the-art pose estimation frameworks.

Thanks for the suggestion. Feel free to scratch your own itch and submit a pull request. This package is basically in maintenance mode, we haven't added new features a long time but welcome contributions.

This example gives you some idea of what it might take to calculate joint angles from joint positions: https://github.com/chrisdembia/yeadon/tree/master/examples/bicyclerider If you develop the transforms from point locations to joint angles, then we could have a layer that let's you specify configuration from position. The devil is in the details and getting it all tied into the UI/GUI and API will take some work.
