Module_01 - Definitions of motion

Kinematics and degrees of freedom

This module focuses on core definitions in kinematics: the geometry of motion.

In this module you will

  1. plot the motion of a linkage system

  2. use reference frames to describe motion

  3. define position, velocity, and acceleration in 2D and 3D reference frames

  4. identify degrees of freedom and constraints on motion

  5. construct reference frames to define position, velocity, and acceleration vectors in 2D and 3D
