Rigid Motion

The Body Frame (B) has been coincidently displaced by a vector d and reoriented about ZG, XG and zi

axes

Accounting for this overall change:

An Example: Find the global position of a body point: [.5, 1.25, 3]T if

the Body frame has been subjected to the following ‘operations’. A Rotation about ZG of 30˚ followed by Rotation XG of 45˚ and a translation of [7,4,-10]T

Trying Another – A Rotational /Translational Device

Initially (a) B and G are coincident – in (b) the Device has been rotated and then the upper arm has been extended, and note that B has been translated and rotated in this second image

Accounting for these – Where is Pi in G space for both cases

CASE 1: P1 defined wrt the origin

Wouldn’t it be Nice if …Combining Rotational and Translational Effects into a Grand Transformation could be done

This is the role of the Homogenous Transformation Matrix

It includes a “Rotational Submatrix” a “Origin Translational Vector” a “Perspective Vector” and finally a “Spatial Scaling Factor”

Dropping into MathCad:

And Note: To use the original positional vector we needed to append a scaling factor to it as seen here

Thus the position of P2 in the Ground space is this vector: [1378.9,1378.9,900] just as we found earlier

What’s NextEquipped with the ideas of the HTM and

individual effects “easily” separated we should be able to address multi-linked machines – like robots

But, before we dive in let’s examine some other Motion Kinematic tools before we!◦Axis Angle Rotation and Translation◦ Inverse Transformations◦Screw Motions – see the text, they are a

general extension of Axis Angle Rot/trans motion

Turning about a body axis – Developing the Rodriguez Transformation sub-matrix

We’ll consider rotation about and translation along a Vector u

Developing an HTM

1. Develop the unit vector in the direction of u

2. Develop the Rodriguez Rotation Matrix

What of the Inverse of the HTM?

It is somewhat like the Inverse of the orientation matrix

The Rotational sub-matrix is just the transpose (since we are reversing the point of view when doing an inverse)

SummaryThe Homogeneous Transformation Matrix

is a general purpose operator that accounts for operations (rotations and translations) taking place between Ground and Remote Frames of reference

As such, they allow us to relate geometries between these spaces and actually perform the operations themselves (mathematically)

Finally, they can be studied to understand the relationships (orientation and position) of two like geometried – SO3 – coordinate frames

SummaryTheir Inverses are simply

constructed since they represent the geometry of the Ground in the geometry defined in the Remote Frames space

Thus they are powerful tools to study the effects of motion in simple situations, complex single spaced twisting /translating motion as well as multi-variable motion as is seen in robotics
