The position vector of a particle is a vector drawn from the origin of the reference frame to the particle. All observations in physics are incomplete without being described with respect to a reference frame. However, if the particle is constrained to move within a plane, a two-dimensional coordinate system is sufficient. In the most general case, a three-dimensional coordinate system is used to define the position of a particle. If the tower is 50 m high, and this height is measured along the z-axis, then the coordinate vector to the top of the tower is r = (0 m, −50 m, 50 m). For example, consider a tower 50 m south from your home, where the coordinate frame is centered at your home, such that east is in the direction of the x-axis and north is in the direction of the y-axis, then the coordinate vector to the base of the tower is r = (0 m, −50 m, 0 m). The position of a particle is defined as the coordinate vector from the origin of a coordinate frame to the particle. Particle kinematics is the study of the trajectory of particles. Notice the setup is not restricted to 2-d space, but a plane in any higher dimension. Kinematic vectors in plane polar coordinates. Kinematics of a particle trajectory in a non-rotating frame of reference However, they do share a root word in common, as cinéma came from the shortened form of cinématographe, "motion picture projector and camera", once again from the Greek word for movement and from the Greek γρᾰ́φω grapho ("to write"). Kinematic and cinématique are related to the French word cinéma, but neither are directly derived from it. Ampère's cinématique, which he constructed from the Greek κίνημα kinema ("movement, motion"), itself derived from κινεῖν kinein ("to move"). The term kinematic is the English version of A.M. 8 Point trajectories in body moving in three dimensions.7 Rotation of a body around a fixed axis.5 Point trajectories in a body moving in the plane.4 Particle trajectories in cylindrical-polar coordinates.2 Kinematics of a particle trajectory in a non-rotating frame of reference.In addition, kinematics applies algebraic geometry to the study of the mechanical advantage of a mechanical system or mechanism. In engineering, for instance, kinematic analysis may be used to find the range of movement for a given mechanism and working in reverse, using kinematic synthesis to design a mechanism for a desired range of motion. Kinematic analysis is the process of measuring the kinematic quantities used to describe motion. They are also central to dynamic analysis. Geometric transformations, also called rigid transformations, are used to describe the movement of components in a mechanical system, simplifying the derivation of the equations of motion. In mechanical engineering, robotics, and biomechanics kinematics is used to describe the motion of systems composed of joined parts (multi-link systems) such as an engine, a robotic arm or the human skeleton. Kinematics is used in astrophysics to describe the motion of celestial bodies and collections of such bodies. For further details, see analytical dynamics. The study of how forces act on bodies falls within kinetics, not kinematics. Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined. A kinematics problem begins by describing the geometry of the system and declaring the initial conditions of any known values of position, velocity and/or acceleration of points within the system. Kinematics, as a field of study, is often referred to as the "geometry of motion" and is occasionally seen as a branch of mathematics. Kinematics is a subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.

The FK is not very useful here, because if we are given a change of angle of a servo, only one effector moves in the chain. This is harder than FK, and there could be more than one solution. This is when you have a desired end effector position, but need to know the joint angles required to achieve it. Inverse kinematics is the opposite of forward kinematics. You know absolutely from the servo positions exactly where the foot is. Forward and Inverse Kinematics – FK & IKįorward kinematics is the method for determining the orientation and position of the end effector (x,y,z) coordinates relative to the centre of mass , given the joint angles and link lengths of the robot arm (servo positions). This equation is deterministic.

If you want the robot to balance dynamically you NEED to know where the feet are and where they’re going to need to be. Please understand that I’m not going to do all your work for you, so the code or equations I share are not guaranteed on their accuracy but purely a demonstration of how the method is derived and works. This is why the kinematics of the feet are important to you. As soon as you push it past that point, so the centre of mass is the other side of the centre of pivot it will fall. As the centre of mass approaches a point directly above one of the edges (our centre of pivot) the cube will feel lighter to your touch and if you can get the centre of mass directly over that centre of pivot it will balance. The centre of mass is above the centre of pivot (the edges) but because it’s between them (when viewed from every direction) it will just sit there until you prod it. When the cube is just sat there it’s stable. If you’re a little unclear about Robot Kinematics, I recommend to start with something basic, a cube is a good start, and imagine that its centre of mass is right in the middle (which it will be if its density is even throughout). Here is an implementation of a 3 DOF hexapod robot which I built using IK: If you feel confident about the Inverse Kinematics basics, you can jump to beyond the edges of his feet) the robot will overbalance and fall. the edges of where its feet contact the ground). If the centre of mass is above the centre of pivots and between them the robot will balance (almost an unstable equilibrium, if you’re an applied mathematician. If the centre of mass is above but outside the centre of pivots (i.e. Finally, I'd like to use all of those tools in tandem to make some sort of cool keyed animation, but thinking about the logistics of all of that made me wonder if it would be smart to make a separate graph that is entirely devoted to using simulations to automate the keyframing/editing process(this might be good to work on first, considering how useful it could be as a general tool).As you might know “balance” can be defined as the robot’s centre of mass (affectionately referred to as its centre of gravity) being between its centre of pivots (i.e. I ultimately want to make it so that the entire hand can move and rotate- then, I plan to fill the hand in with points in 3D space so that I can use my depth-rendering technique to make it look solid. Points are color coded to their respective finger!Īs mentioned before, this graph is still a work in progress. Drag the control points on the right side of the graph to position the fingers. Drag the "rotate" cursor around in order to view the hand from different angles

I had to use a heck ton of trig to figure out how to make the fingers track individual points- also, since our main 4 fingers have three segments instead of only two, that added a little more ambiguity in terms of how I should solve for the position of each joint(as there are now multiple solutions). Despite the title, this graph took me about two days to create and it is still in progress!
