A Metric for Planar Displacements

چکیده
Metrics, which facilitate the measurement of parameters such as “distance” and “length” are used frequently in rigid body guidance problems. Commonly used metrics have a characteristic of being dependent on the choice of fixed or moving reference frame and the units used. Most motion synthesis algorithms require some notion of the “distance” between two desired locations. The metrics in Euclidean space depend on the coordinate frame and units used. A metric independent of these choices is desirable. In this paper we present a metric which is independent of the choice of fixed coordinate frame.

Projection Metrics for Rigid-body Displacements
An open research question is how to define a useful metric on SE(n) with respect to (1) the choice of coordinate frames and (2) the units used to measure linear and angular distances. We present two techniques for approximating elements of the special Euclidean group SE(n) with elements of the special orthogonal group SO(n+1). These techniques are based on the singular value and polar decomposi...

A novel dimensional synthesis technique for solving the mixed exact and approximate motion synthesis problem for planar RR kinematic chains is presented. The methodology uses an analytic representation of the planar RR dyads rigid body constraint equation in combination with an algebraic geometry formulation of the exact synthesis for three prescribed locations to yield designs that exactly rea...

متن کاملA Metric for Finite Sets of Displacements
ABSTRACT There are various useful metrics for finding the distance between two points in Euclidean space. Metrics for finding the distance between two rigid body locations in Euclidean space depend on both the coordinate frame and units used. A metric independent of these choices is desirable. This paper presents a metric for a finite set of rigid body displacements. The methodology uses the pr...
متن کاملEvolving Four-Bars for Optimal Synthesis
We present an evolution-based method for optimal mechanism synthesis. It is based on the embedding of the Euclidean motion group in the space of affine displacements upon which an object-oriented Euclidean metric is imposed. This Euclidean structure allows the use of curve and surface evolution techniques from computer aided design and image processing. We demonstrate the algorithm by synthesiz...
