Is there a way to send a rotationMatrix (or quaternion) as a orientaion command to the robot?
Use case
I am currently devolping with Kinova gen3 robot arm. As written in the User Guide doc:
The orientation representation uses an x-y-z extrinsic convention.
Hence I need to send the Euler angle [theta_x, theta_y, and theta_z] as a target pose, which is not intuitive to me. (Especially, the default orientation of the end-effetor is alinged with the base's)
What if I want to specify a rotationMatrix or quaternion as the orientation command?
Additional context
This problem can be described as "Given a rotationMatrix R, slove for Euler angles [thetax, thetay, thetaz]". Do I have to solve by my own?

There is no way to send orientation commands to the robot other than via euler angles (Twist commands use the axis/angle method).
You can either implement the math yourself (it is a solved problem in most robotics textbooks) or use a 3rd party library to do so - I can recommend roboticslibrary.org for C++ or Peter Corke's Robotics Toolbox for Python
