2.5 CONVERSION
Space conversion with a 4x4 Matrix can indicate the conversion of translation and rotation.
Using these conversions and coordinates, they designate the position and orientation of a
manipulator.
Position designation
Position designation (conversion) is to translate X, Y and Z directions of the basic
coordinate T.
Trans ( x, y, z ) 1 0 0 x
0 1 0 y
0 0 1 z
0 0 0 1
Orientation designation ( Roll, Pitch, Yaw )
Roll, pitch and yaw is generally used for the orientation designation
(conversion).
In a standard coordinate T, Yaw is the rotation around X-axis. Pitch is the
rotation around Y-axis. Roll is the rotation around Z-axis.
As these three conversions are based on the original coordinate, pay attention
to the conversion formula, the multiplication order is reversed.
R P Y ( roll, pitch, yaw )
Processing order
= Rot ( z, roll ) Rot ( y, pitch ) Rot ( x, yaw )
