Inverse Kinematics (IK)
Inverse Kinematics (IK)
A method in computer graphics where you specify a target position for a body part, and the software calculates the necessary joint angles to achieve that position.
Hierarchical Model (Data Structure)
Hierarchical Model (Data Structure)
A hierarchical data structure representing an articulated body, like a character or robot, using parent-child relationships between objects, with the root object at the top and leaf objects at the bottom.
Revolute Joint
Revolute Joint
A type of joint that allows one link to rotate about a fixed point on another link, like a hinge.

Study Notes
Computer Creative Art Lecture 7 (DM427)
- Lecture covers Kinematic Linkages
- Introduction to relative object motion
- Describing object motion is often easier related to another object like the sun in moon's motion.
- Relative motion sequences are found in astronomy, robotics, and human figure animation.
- This chapter focuses on animating objects whose motion is relative to another object, especially when there's a sequence where each object's movement is easily described as relative to the previous one.
- This creates a motion hierarchy.
- Components in this hierarchy represent physically connected linkages.
- Topics in this chapter include forming data structures supporting linkages, animating linkages by specifying/determining position over time.
- Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that deals with object motion without considering the forces causing the motion.
- Two approaches to positioning hierarchies are forward and inverse kinematics.
- Forward kinematics: Animator specifies rotation parameters at joints, the system calculates the end effector position.
- Inverse kinematics: Animator specifies desired end effector position, the system calculates joint angles.
- Articulated figures are modeled as a series of connected links by joints.
- Hierarchical modeling is represented using tree-like structures.
- A root node corresponds to the root object.
- Other nodes are located relative to the root node.
- Nodes with no arcs extending downwards are leaf nodes.
- The node higher up in the hierarchy is the parent, and the one lower is the child.
- Graphics primarily deals with revolute and prismatic joints.
- Revolute joints have one link rotating around the other link's fixed point.
- Prismatic joints have one link translating relative to another
- Degrees of freedom (DOF) is the minimum number of coordinates needed to completely describe an object's motion.
- A rigid body in space has 6 DOF: three translations (x, y, z), three rotations (around x, y, z axes).
- Structures with multiple coincident DOFs are called complex joints.
