I showed this demo in class and I was surprised at how cool the students thought it was. They actually thought it was some kind of trick. It is not a trick. Instead, this is an example of the angular ...

Ask any engineer what the velocity of a point on a rigid body is, and they will correctly say that it's the time rate of change of a linear position vector. Ask any engineer what angular velocity is, ...

Mecanum_inverse_kinematic is a tool to calculate the inverse kinematic of a 4-wheel Mecanum robot. Given the desired linear and angular velocities in the global or local frame, the tool calculates the ...

Abstract: We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new polarization-reciprocal angular velocity measurement scheme based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) with a Sagnac loop. The scheme employs ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

There is a potential issue in the Ackermann MotionModel's applyConstraints function when adjusting the angular velocity (wz) based on the linear velocity (vx) to enforce a minimum turning radius ...
