Color, Humans and Language

lesson

Color is a very important concept for people. We have lots of words to describe colors and we even associate them with emotions.

Singularity in 3D rotation angle sequences

lesson

A problem arises when using three-angle sequences and particular values of the middle angle leads to a condition called a singularity. This mathematical phenomena is related to a problem that occurs in the physical world with mechanical gimbal systems. Note that in Robotics, Vision & Control (second edition) and RTB10.x the default definition of roll-pitch-yaw […]

Analyzing a very simple 1-joint robot arm

lesson

We consider the simplest possible robot, which has one rotary joint and an arm.

Numerical Inverse Kinematics

lesson

Let’s look at numerical approaches to inverse kinematics for a couple of different robots and learn some of the important considerations. For RTB10.x please note that the mask value must be explicitly preceded by the ‘mask’ keyword. For example: >> q = p2.ikine(T, [-1 -1], ‘mask’, [1 1 0 0 0 0])

Robots in fiction

lesson

Much of what we know about robots comes from fiction. Let’s look at fictional robots and the underlying reality.
