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.
