Robotics Application of Lissajous Curves
Robotics Application of Lissajous Curves
This Demonstration shows a polishing robotic arm whose pad moves following a Lissajous curve, which is being drawn in the screen during the animation. You can vary the frequencies of the vertical and horizontal movements using their respective controls. According to these values, different curves are constructed. The animation finishes when the curve has completed a whole period. The animation simulates the movement of the individual parts that form the robotic arm.
