Robot Demo:Understanding Homogenous Matrices
I have started collecting live robot demos in the robot_demos/ directory, and the first entry focuses on homogeneous transformation matrices. The sketch renders a 4x4 matrix as a colour-coded grid so that position and rotation components stand out at a glance.
- Load the demo by opening Launch the matrix visualizer.
- Adjust the sliders to tweak translation and rotation, and watch the grid update in real time.
- Use the “Reset” control to jump back to the identity matrix before trying a new configuration.
Update: Homogenous Transformation Game
I’ve added a gamified version to test your intuition!
- Goal: Fly an arrow through a donut gate by inputting the correct Homogeneous Transformation Matrix.
- Challenge: Requires understanding of both translation (position) and rotation (orientation) matrices.
- Play now: Launch the TF Game
I will add more showcases under robot_demos/ as they come together. Feel free to suggest scenarios—reach out if a particular algorithm or control concept deserves a quick simulation.
