A Lie group formulation for closed chain kinematics

Academic Skills Project

This project investigates a generalized, coordinate-free methodology for the kinematic and dynamic modelling of parallel mechanisms utilizing Lie group theory, specifically the Special Euclidean group SE(3) and its Lie algebra SE(3).

The goal is to analyse different existing methods and create a unified approach to do parallel kinematics and dynamics. This is then applied to a mechanism in simulation.
