Kinematics: Motion Types and Transformations

The document provides an overview of kinematics, focusing on the description of motion without considering its causes. It outlines types of motion including translation, rotation, and combined motion, as well as the necessary vector and coordinate transformations such as displacement vectors and rotation matrices. Key concepts include the identity matrix for no rotation and the transpose for inversion.

Introduction

Kinematics
Description of the motion of point, bodies or system bodies without
consideration of the cause of the motion(dynamics)
Required for kinematic simulation and control.
Types of motion of single bodies
Translation
The body will perform parallel trajectories.
Rotation
The body can perform rotation, means that the single point is
fixed and the point around it will rotate.
Combined motion
Combined rotation and translation

Vector and coordinate Transformation


Position
Displacement vectors
Rotation
Rotation Matrices
No rotation
Identity matrix
Inversion
Transpose of the matrix
