\begin_layout Section
Motivation: Rigid Motions in the Plane
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
We will start with a small example of a robot moving in a plane, parameterized
 by a 
\emph on
2D pose
\emph default
 
\begin_inset Formula $(x,\, y,\,\theta)$
\end_inset

.
 When we give it a small forward velocity 
\begin_inset Formula $v_{x}$
\end_inset

, we know that the location changes as 
\begin_inset Formula \[
\dot{x}=v_{x}\]

\end_inset

The solution to this trivial differential equation is, with 
\begin_inset Formula $x_{0}$
\end_inset

 the initial 
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset

-position of the robot,
\begin_inset Formula \[
x_{t}=x_{0}+v_{x}t\]

\end_inset

A similar story holds for translation in the 
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset

 direction, and in fact for translations in general:
\begin_inset Formula \[
(x_{t},\, y_{t},\,\theta_{t})=(x_{0}+v_{x}t,\, y_{0}+v_{y}t,\,\theta_{0})\]

\end_inset

Similarly for rotation we have 
\begin_inset Formula \[
(x_{t},\, y_{t},\,\theta_{t})=(x_{0},\, y_{0},\,\theta_{0}+\omega t)\]

\end_inset

where 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

 is angular velocity, measured in 
\begin_inset Formula $rad/s$
\end_inset

 in counterclockwise direction.

Robot moving along a circular trajectory.
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
However, if we combine translation and rotation, the story breaks down!
 We cannot write
\begin_inset Formula \[
(x_{t},\, y_{t},\,\theta_{t})=(x_{0}+v_{x}t,\, y_{0}+v_{y}t,\,\theta_{0}+\omega t)\]

\end_inset

The reason is that, if we move the robot a tiny bit according to the velocity
 vector 
\begin_inset Formula $(v_{x},\, v_{y},\,\omega)$
\end_inset

, we have (to first order)
\begin_inset Formula \[
(x_{\delta},\, y_{\delta},\,\theta_{\delta})=(x_{0}+v_{x}\delta,\, y_{0}+v_{y}\delta,\,\theta_{0}+\omega\delta)\]

\end_inset

but now the robot has rotated, and for the next incremental change, the
 velocity vector would have to be rotated before it can be applied.
 In fact, the robot will move on a 
\emph on
circular
\emph default
 trajectory.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The reason is that 
\emph on
translation and rotation do not commute
\emph default
: if we rotate and then move we will end up in a different place than if
 we moved first, then rotated.
 In fact, someone once said (I forget who, kudos for who can track down
 the exact quote):
\end_layout

\begin_layout Quote
If rotation and translation commuted, we could do all rotations before leaving
 home.

 steps.
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\end_inset

To make progress, we have to be more precise about how the robot behaves.
 Specifically, let us define composition of two poses 
\begin_inset Formula $T_{1}$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $T_{2}$
\end_inset

 as
\begin_inset Formula \[
T_{1}T_{2}=(x_{1},\, y_{1},\,\theta_{1})(x_{2},\, y_{2},\,\theta_{2})=(x_{1}+\cos\theta_{1}x_{2}-\sin\theta y_{2},\, y_{1}+\sin\theta_{1}x_{2}+\cos\theta_{1}y_{2},\,\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})\]

\end_inset

This is a bit clumsy, so we resort to a trick: embed the 2D poses in the
 
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$
\end_inset

 matrices, so we can define composition as matrix multiplication:
\begin_inset Formula \[
T_{1}T_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
R_{1} & t_{1}\\
0 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}
R_{2} & t_{2}\\
0 & 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
R_{1}R_{2} & R_{1}t_{2}+t_{1}\\
0 & 1\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

where the matrices 
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset

 are 2D rotation matrices defined as 
\begin_inset Formula \[
R=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
\cos\theta & -\sin\theta\\
\sin\theta & \cos\theta\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

Now a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

tiny
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 motion of the robot can be written as
\begin_inset Formula \[
T(\delta)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
\cos\omega\delta & -\sin\omega\delta & v_{x}\delta\\
\sin\omega\delta & \cos\omega\delta & v_{y}\delta\\
0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\approx\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & -\omega\delta & v_{x}\delta\\
\omega\delta & 1 & v_{y}\delta\\
0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]=I+\delta\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -\omega & v_{x}\\
\omega & 0 & v_{y}\\
0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

Let us define the 
\emph on
2D twist
\emph default
 vector 
\begin_inset Formula $\xi=(v,\omega)$
\end_inset

, and the matrix above as
\begin_inset Formula \[
\xihat\define\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -\omega & v_{x}\\
\omega & 0 & v_{y}\\
0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

If we wanted 
\begin_inset Formula $t$
\end_inset

 to be large, we could split up 
\begin_inset Formula $t$
\end_inset

 into smaller timesteps, say 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

 of them, and compose them as follows:
\begin_inset Formula \[
T(t)\approx\left(I+\frac{t}{n}\xihat\right)\ldots\mbox{n times}\ldots\left(I+\frac{t}{n}\xihat\right)=\left(I+\frac{t}{n}\xihat\right)^{n}\]

\end_inset

The result is shown in Figure 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "fig:n-step-program"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Of course, the perfect solution would be obtained if we take 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

 to infinity:
\begin_inset Formula \[
T(t)=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(I+\frac{t}{n}\xihat\right)^{n}\]

\end_inset

For real numbers, this series is familiar and is actually a way to compute
 the exponential function:
\begin_inset Formula \[
e^{x}=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(1+\frac{x}{n}\right)^{n}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{k}}{k!}\]

\end_inset

The series can be similarly defined for square matrices,and the final result
 is that we can write the motion of a robot along a circular trajectory,
 resulting from the 2D twist 
\begin_inset Formula $\xi=(v,\omega)$
\end_inset


\begin_inset Formula $ $
\end_inset

 as the 
\emph on
matrix exponential
\emph default
 of 
\begin_inset Formula $\xihat$
\end_inset

:
\begin_inset Formula \[
T(t)=e^{t\xihat}\define\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(I+\frac{t}{n}\xihat\right)^{n}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{t^{k}}{k!}\xihat^{k}\]

\end_inset

We call this mapping from 2D twists matrices 
\begin_inset Formula $\xihat$
\end_inset

 to 2D rigid transformations the 
\emph on
exponential map.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The above has all elements of Lie group theory.
 We call the space of 2D rigid transformations, along with the composition
 operation, the 
\emph on
special Euclidean group
\emph default
 
\begin_inset Formula $\SEtwo$
\end_inset

.
 It is called a Lie group because it is both a manifold and a group, and
 its group operation is smooth when operating on this manifold.
 The space of 2D twists, together with a special binary operation to be
 defined below, is called the Lie algebra 
\begin_inset Formula $\setwo$
\end_inset

 associated with 
\begin_inset Formula $\SEtwo$
\end_inset

.
 Below we generalize these concepts and then introduce the most commonly
 used Lie groups and their Lie algebras.

\begin_layout Section
Basic Lie Group Concepts
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
A Manifold and a Group
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A Lie group 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

 is a manifold that possesses a smooth group operation.
 Associated with it is a Lie Algebra 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

 which, loosely speaking, can be identified with the tangent space at the
 identity and completely defines how the groups behaves around the identity.
 There is a mapping from 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

 back to 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

, called the exponential map
\begin_inset Formula \[
\exp:\gg\rightarrow G\]

\end_inset

which is typically a many-to-one mapping.
 The corresponding inverse can be define locally around the origin and hence
 is a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

logarithm
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 
\begin_inset Formula \[
\log:G\rightarrow\gg\]

\end_inset

that maps elements in a neighborhood of 
\begin_inset Formula $id$
\end_inset

 in G to an element in 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Lie Algebra
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The Lie Algebra 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

 is called an algebra because it is endowed with a binary operation, the
 Lie bracket 
\begin_inset Formula $[X,Y]$
\end_inset

, the properties of which are closely related to the group operation of
 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

.
 For example, in matrix Lie groups, the Lie bracket is given by 
\begin_inset Formula $[A,B]\define AB-BA$
\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The relationship of the Lie bracket to the group operation is as follows:
 for commutative Lie groups vector addition 
\begin_inset Formula $X+Y$
\end_inset

 in 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

 mimicks the group operation.
 For example, if we have 
\begin_inset Formula $Z=X+Y$
\end_inset

 in 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

, when mapped backed to 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

 via the exponential map we obtain 
\begin_inset Formula \[
e^{Z}=e^{X+Y}=e^{X}e^{Y}\]

\end_inset

However, this does 
\emph on
not
\emph default
 hold for non-commutative Lie groups:
\begin_inset Formula \[
Z=\log(e^{X}e^{Y})\neq X+Y\]

\end_inset

Instead, 
\begin_inset Formula $Z$
\end_inset

 can be calculated using the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) formula:
\begin_inset Foot

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout

\end_inset


\begin_inset Formula \[
Z=X+Y+[X,Y]/2+[X-Y,[X,Y]]/12-[Y,[X,[X,Y]]]/24+\ldots\]

\end_inset

For commutative groups the bracket is zero and we recover 
\begin_inset Formula $Z=X+Y$
\end_inset

.
 For non-commutative groups we can use the BCH formula to approximate it.

\begin_layout Subsection
Exponential Coordinates
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

-dimensional matrix Lie groups, the Lie algebra 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

 is isomorphic to 
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{R}^{n}$
\end_inset

, and we can define the wedge operator 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset

,
\begin_inset Formula \[
\hat{}:x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\xhat\in\gg\]

\end_inset

which maps 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

-vectors 
\begin_inset Formula $x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$
\end_inset

 to elements of 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

.
 In the case of matrix Lie groups, the elements 
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$
\end_inset

 of 
\begin_inset Formula $\gg$
\end_inset

 are 
\begin_inset Formula $n\times n$
\end_inset

 matrices, and the map is given by
\begin_inset Formula \begin{equation}
\xhat=\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}G^{i}\label{eq:generators}\end{equation}

\end_inset

where the 
\begin_inset Formula $G^{i}$
\end_inset

 are 
\begin_inset Formula $n\times n$
\end_inset

 matrices known as the Lie group generators.
 The meaning of the map 
\begin_inset Formula $x\rightarrow\xhat$
\end_inset

 will depend on the group 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

 and will generally have an intuitive interpretation.

\begin_layout Subsection
The Adjoint Map

\begin_layout Standard
Below we frequently make use of the equality

\begin_inset Formula \[
ge^{\xhat}g^{-1}=e^{\Ad g{\xhat}}\]

\end_inset

where 
\begin_inset Formula $\Ad g:\gg\rightarrow\mathfrak{\gg}$
\end_inset

 is a map parameterized by a group element 
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset

.
 The intuitive explanation is that a change 
\begin_inset Formula $\exp\left(\xhat\right)$
\end_inset

 defined around the orgin, but applied at the group element 
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset

, can be written in one step by taking the adjoint 
\begin_inset Formula $\Ad g{\xhat}$

 of 
\begin_inset Formula $\xhat$

The Lie group 
\begin_inset Formula $\SOtwo$
\end_inset

 is a subgroup of the general linear group 
\begin_inset Formula $GL(2)$
\end_inset

 of

 invertible matrices.
 Its Lie algebra

 the vector space is

\begin_inset Formula \[

We would now like to know what an incremental rotation parameterized by
 
\begin_inset Formula $\theta$
\end_inset

 would do:
\begin_inset Formula \[
q(\text{\omega t})=Re^{\skew{\omega t}}p\]

\end_inset

hence the derivative is:
\begin_inset Formula \[
\deriv{q(\omega t)}t=R\deriv{}t\left(e^{\skew{\omega t}}p\right)=R\deriv{}t\left(\skew{\omega t}p\right)=RH_{p}\]

\skew{\theta}\left[\begin{array}{c}

The Lie group

 is a subgroup of the general linear group 
\begin_inset Formula $GL(3)$
\end_inset

 of 
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$

 invertible matrices that maps the line infinity to itself, and hence preserves
 paralellism.
 The affine transformation matrices

 can be written as

Note that just as 
\begin_inset Formula $\SEtwo$
\end_inset

 is a semi-direct product, so too is 
\begin_inset Formula $Aff(2)=\Rtwo\rtimes GL(2)$
\end_inset

.
 In particular, any affine transformation 
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset

 can be written as
\begin_inset Formula \[
A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
0 & t\\
0 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}
M & 0\\
0 & k\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

and they compose as
\begin_inset Formula \[
A_{1}A_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
M_{1} & t_{1}\\
0 & k_{1}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}
M_{2} & t_{2}\\
0 & k_{2}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
M_{1}M_{2} & M_{2}t_{2}+k_{2}t_{1}\\
0 & k_{1}k_{2}\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

From this it can be gleaned that the groups 
\begin_inset Formula $\SOtwo$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $\SEtwo$
\end_inset

 are both subgroups, with 
\begin_inset Formula $\SOtwo\subset\SEtwo\subset\Afftwo$

Hence, the Lie algebra 
\begin_inset Formula $\afftwo$
\end_inset

 is the vector space of 
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$
\end_inset

 incremental affine transformations 
\begin_inset Formula $\ahat$
\end_inset

 parameterized by 6 parameters 
\begin_inset Formula $\aa\in\mathbb{R}^{6}$
\end_inset

, with the mapping 
\begin_inset Formula \[
\aa\rightarrow\ahat\define\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
a_{5} & a_{4}-a_{3} & a_{1}\\
a_{4}+a_{3} & -a_{5}-a_{6} & a_{2}\\
0 & 0 & a_{6}\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

Note that 
\begin_inset Formula $G_{5}$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $G_{6}$
\end_inset

 change the relative scale of 
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset

 but without changing the determinant: 
\begin_inset Formula \[
e^{xG_{5}}=\exp\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
x & 0 & 0\\
0 & -x & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
e^{x} & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1/e^{x} & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset


\begin_inset Formula \[
e^{xG_{6}}=\exp\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & -x & 0\\
0 & 0 & x\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1/e^{x} & 0\\
0 & 0 & e^{x}\end{array}\right]\]

\end_inset

It might be nicer to have the correspondence with scaling 
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset

 more direct, by choosing
