Sheet Two - Robotics

The document describes a series of robotics problems involving coordinate frame transformations. Problem 1 asks to apply a series of rotations and translations to a point P and verify the results graphically. Problem 2 describes three coordinate frames and asks to perform unspecified operations on them. Problem 3 asks to calculate a rotation matrix. Problem 4 asks to compute a homogeneous transformation matrix for a sequence of rotations and translations and sketch the resulting frame. Problem 5 asks to find homogeneous transformations between three frames shown in a diagram. Problem 6 provides a diagram of a robot, table, cube and camera setup and asks to calculate various homogeneous transformations between the frames.

1. A point P in space is defined as P= (5; 3; 4) relative to frame B which is attached to the
origin of the reference frame A and is parallel to it. Apply the following transformations
A
to frame B and find P. Using the 3-D grid (Fig. 1), plot the transformations and the result
and verify it. Also verify graphically that you would not get the same results if you apply
the transformations relative to the current frame:
- Rotate 90o about x-axis
- Translate 3 units about y-axis, 6 units about z-axis, and 5 units about x-axis
- Rotate 90o about z-axis

6. Consider the diagram of Figure 2. A robot is set up 1 meter from a table. The table top is 1
meter high and 1 meter square. A frame o1x1y1z1 is fixed to the edge of the table as shown.
A cube measuring 20 cm on a side is placed in the center of the table with frame o2x2y2z2
established at the center of the cube as shown.
A camera is situated directly above the center of the block 2 meters above the table
top with frame o3x3y3z3 attached as shown.
-Find the homogeneous Transformations relating each of these frames to the base
frame o0x0y0z0.
-Find the homogeneous Transformation relating the frame o2x2y2z2 to the camera
frame o3x3y3z3.
