AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on difficulties in understanding kinematics related to an omnidirectional robot, particularly concerning translational and tangential velocities. There is confusion regarding the derivation of equation (8) from the first paper and its implications for the robot's movement, especially regarding the multiplication by R(theta). Participants seek clarification on the rotation matrix and the equation for v_trans,i, as well as the derivation of the pure rolling constraint. The conversation highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the relationships between drive velocity, wheel direction, and potential sliding motion. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexities of kinematic equations in robotic applications.

TL;DR Summary
wheeled robot kinematics and constraints
Hi, I tried to understand kinematics after having an omnidirectional roobt. Some problems stop me to go further. Here I upload some contents of different papers talking about kinematics. For the 1st three pictures, I don't know how equation (8) is from and I am little confused about translational and tangentianal velocities. I don't know why it mutiplys R(theta) again in equation (8).

For the 2nd paper, I cannot obtain the equation of v_trans,i. Also, I am not sure if the rotation matrix in this case is R(theta) = [cos(theta) -sin(theta); sin(theta) cos(theta)]. Can anyone please tell some details about the kinematics.

At last, there is another lecture about kinematics. The problem is still about the constraints. How can I derive this pure rolling constraint.

It looks to me as though equation (8) in the first paper is the dot product of the drive velocity with the direction vector of the drive's wheel, i.e. the component of the velocity in the direction of the wheel spins. I guess that would imply that the wheel is also sliding sideways. If ##\theta## is a function of time, then the extra multiplication by ##\mathbf R(\theta(t))## would give the direction of the wheel at time ##t##.

Thank you, tnich. How can we get the equation of the rolling constraint if we focus on the 3rd approach.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
