Geometry - angle w.r.t. two planes to 3D pose?












0












$begingroup$


I have a machine which rotates a tool about two axes, A and B. This is defined by two pivoting angles, $A$ and $B$. I would like to use $A$ and $B$, which rotate around a "virtual pivot point," to calculate the pose of the tool w.r.t. the origin.



A photo of the toolhead with the A and B axes labeled is here:

What is the sequence of steps I need to take?

    Can you provide a picture? It's hard to understand what is given and what you want to find from the given description.

    You define $A$ to be two different things, and don't tell us what $I$, $J$, and $K$ are at all. A picture would be useful.

You write down the matrices of rotations corresponding to axes B and A (axis-angle to rotation matrix formula), then composite rotation has matrix that is the product of A and B:
$$R=AB,$$



note here: matrix B has axis corresponding to the state prior to rotation around A.



After that you can transform the rotation matrix $R$ to whatever representation you like (to Euler angles, to axis-angle).
