  2. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    From this point of view the kinematics equations can be used in two different ways. The first called forward kinematics uses specified values for the joint parameters to compute the end-effector position and orientation. The second called inverse kinematics uses the position and orientation of the end-effector to compute the joint parameters ...

  3. Chebyshev linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_linkage

    Link 1 (horizontal distance between ground joints): 4a Illustration of the limits. In kinematics, Chebyshev's linkage is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate linear motion. It was invented by the 19th-century mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who studied theoretical problems in kinematic mechanisms.

  4. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    [4] [5] [6] 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. Then, using arguments from geometry, the position, velocity and acceleration of any unknown parts of the system can be determined.

  5. Robot kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_kinematics

    A fundamental tool in robot kinematics is the kinematics equations of the kinematic chains that form the robot. These non-linear equations are used to map the joint parameters to the configuration of the robot system. Kinematics equations are also used in biomechanics of the skeleton and computer animation of articulated characters.

  6. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    2 DOF five-bar mechanism with two input angles θ 1 and θ 2 and a geared mechanism, where the two disks represent meshing gears which are fixed to their corresponding links In kinematics , a five-bar linkage is a mechanism with two degrees of freedom that is constructed from five links that are connected together in a closed chain .

  7. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    A space curve; the vectors T, N, B; and the osculating plane spanned by T and N. In differential geometry, the Frenet–Serret formulas describe the kinematic properties of a particle moving along a differentiable curve in three-dimensional Euclidean space, or the geometric properties of the curve itself irrespective of any motion.

  8. Burmester's theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmester's_theory

    Similarly, B is a circling point with a center that is any point on the perpendicular bisector of B 1 B 2. A four-bar linkage can be constructed from any point on the two perpendicular bisectors as the fixed pivots and A and B as the moving pivots. The point P is clearly special, because it is a hinge that allows pure rotational movement of A 1 ...

    Galileo deduced the equation s = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ gt 2 in his work geometrically, [4] using the Merton rule, now known as a special case of one of the equations of kinematics. Galileo was the first to show that the path of a projectile is a parabola. Galileo had an understanding of centrifugal force and gave a correct definition of momentum. This ...
