[Source](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/reachy_mini/blob/v1.8.2/src/reachy_mini/utils/interpolation.py#L135)

Compute the angle (in radians) between two 3x3 rotation matrices `P` and `Q`.

This is equivalent to the angular distance in axis-angle space.
It is computed via the trace of the relative rotation matrix.

**Parameters:**

P : A 3x3 rotation matrix.

Q : Another 3x3 rotation matrix.

**Returns:**

The angle in radians between the two rotations.

#### reachy_mini.utils.interpolation.distance_between_poses[[reachy_mini.utils.interpolation.distance_between_poses]]

[Source](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/reachy_mini/blob/v1.8.2/src/reachy_mini/utils/interpolation.py#L161)

Compute three types of distance between two 4x4 homogeneous transformation matrices.

The result combines translation (in mm) and rotation (in degrees) using an arbitrary but
emotionally satisfying equivalence: 1 degree ≈ 1 mm.

**Parameters:**

pose1 : A 4x4 homogeneous transformation matrix representing the first pose.

pose2 : A 4x4 homogeneous transformation matrix representing the second pose.

**Returns:**

`A tuple of`

- translation distance in meters,
- angular distance in radians,
- unhinged distance in magic-mm (translation in mm + rotation in degrees).

#### reachy_mini.utils.interpolation.compose_world_offset[[reachy_mini.utils.interpolation.compose_world_offset]]

[Source](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/reachy_mini/blob/v1.8.2/src/reachy_mini/utils/interpolation.py#L187)

Compose an absolute world-frame pose with a world-frame offset.

- translations add in world:       t_final = t_abs + t_off
- rotations compose in world:      R_final = R_off @ R_abs
This rotates the frame in place (about its own origin) by a rotation
defined in world axes, and shifts it by a world translation.

Parameters
----------
T_abs : (4,4) ndarray
Absolute pose in world frame.
T_off_world : (4,4) ndarray
Offset transform specified in world axes (dx,dy,dz in world; dR about world axes).
reorthonormalize : bool
If True, SVD-orthonormalize the resulting rotation to fight drift.

Returns
-------
T_final : (4,4) ndarray
Resulting pose in world frame.
