  2. Free presentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_presentation

    Since f is a module homomorphism between free modules, it can be visualized as an (infinite) matrix with entries in R and M as its cokernel. A free presentation always exists: any module is a quotient of a free module: , but then the kernel of g is again a quotient of a free module: ′ ⁡. The combination of f and g is a free presentation of M.

  3. Cylindrical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylindrical_coordinate_system

    A cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system that specifies point positions by the distance from a chosen reference axis (axis L in the image opposite), the direction from the axis relative to a chosen reference direction (axis A), and the distance from a chosen reference plane perpendicular to the axis (plane ...

  4. Manipulator (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manipulator_(device)

    In robotics, a manipulator is a device used to manipulate materials without direct physical contact by the operator. The applications were originally for dealing with radioactive or biohazardous materials, using robotic arms , or they were used in inaccessible places.

  5. Parallel manipulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_manipulator

    A manipulator can move an object with up to 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), determined by 3 translation 3T and 3 rotation 3R coordinates for full 3T3R mobility. However, when a manipulation task requires less than 6 DoF, the use of lower mobility manipulators, with fewer than 6 DoF, may bring advantages in terms of simpler architecture, easier control, faster motion and lower cost.

  6. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    Well-known examples of curvilinear coordinate systems in three-dimensional Euclidean space (R 3) are cylindrical and spherical coordinates. A Cartesian coordinate surface in this space is a coordinate plane ; for example z = 0 defines the x - y plane.

  7. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)

    An example of a simple open chain is a serial robot manipulator. These robotic systems are constructed from a series of links connected by six one degree-of-freedom revolute or prismatic joints, so the system has six degrees of freedom. An example of a simple closed chain is the RSSR spatial four-bar linkage.

  8. Axial engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_engine

    The Cylindrical Energy Module (CEM) is a sine-wave swashplate engine that can also be used as a standalone pump, powered by an external source. The rotating swashplate rotor assembly is moved back and forth with the help of piston drive pins, which follow a stationary sinusoidal cam track that encircles the rotor assembly. [citation needed]

  9. Cartesian coordinate robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_robot

    Kinematic diagram of Cartesian (coordinate) robot A plotter is a type of Cartesian coordinate robot.. A Cartesian coordinate robot (also called linear robot) is an industrial robot whose three principal axes of control are linear (i.e. they move in a straight line rather than rotate) and are at right angles to each other.
