Homogeneous Transformation Matrices to Express Configurations in Robotics
Up to this point, we have discussed orientations in robotics, and we have become familiarized with different representations to express orientations in robotics. In this lesson, we will start with configurations, and we will learn about homogeneous transformation matrices that are great tools to express configurations (both positions and orientations) in a compact matrix form. This lesson is part of the series of lessons on foundations necessary to express robot motions. For the full comprehension of the Fundamentals of Robot Motions and the necessary tools to represent the configurations, velocities, and forces causing the motion, please read the following lessons…
