2. Incremental Motion  What small (incremental) motions at the end- effector (  x,  y,  z) result from small motions of the joints (  1,  2, …,  n )?  Alternatively, what velocities at the end- effector (v x, v y, v z ) result from velocities at the joints (  1,  2, …  n )?

3. Some Definitions  Linear Velocity: The instantaneous rate-of- change in linear position of a point relative to some frame. v=(v x, v y, v z ) T  Angular Velocity: The instantaneous rate-of-change in the orientation of one frame relative to another. –Angular Velocity depends on the way to represent orientation (Euler Angles, Rotation Matrix, etc.) –Angular Velocity Vector and the Angular Velocity Matrix.

4. Some Definitions  Angular Velocity Vector: A vector whose direction is the instantaneous axis of rotation of one frame relative to another and whose magnitude is the rate of rotation about that axis.

5. Free Vector  Linear velocity are insensitive to shifts in origin but are sensitive to orientation. {D} x x

6. Free Vector  Angular velocity are insensitive to shifts in origin but are sensitive to orientation. {A} {B} {D} x x x x

7. Velocity Frames  frame of reference: this is the frame used to measure the object’s velocity  frame of representation.: this is the frame in which the velocity is expressed.
