We discuss the structure of a right-handed 3D coordinate frame and the spatial relationship between its axes which is encoded in the right-hand rule.

We consider a robot with four joints that moves its end-effector in 3D space.

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

The orientation of a body in 3D can also be described by two vectors, often called the approach and orientation vectors.

We learn how to describe the orientation of an object by a 2×2 rotation matrix which has some special properties. Try your hand at some online MATLAB problems. You’ll need to watch all the 2D “Spatial Maths” lessons to complete the problem set.
