\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.

\end_inset

 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
 space of 
\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 simultaneously a topological group
 and a manifold, which implies that the multiplication and the inversion
 operations are smooth.
 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 $\SEtwo$

\begin_layout Section
Basic Lie Group Concepts
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
We now define the concepts illustrated above, introduce some notation, and
 see what we can say in general.
 After this we then introduce the most commonly used Lie groups and their
 Lie algebras.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
A Manifold and a Group
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A 
\series bold
Lie group
\series default
 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

 is both a group 
\emph on
and
\emph default
 a manifold that possesses a smooth group operation.
 Associated with it is a 
\series bold
Lie Algebra
\series default
 
\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 
\series bold
exponential map
\series default

\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 Standard
An important family of Lie groups are the matrix Lie groups, whose elements
 are 
\begin_inset Formula $n\times n$
\end_inset

 invertible matrices.
 The set of all such matrices, together with the matrix multiplication,
 is called the general linear group 
\begin_inset Formula $GL(n)$
\end_inset

 of dimension 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

, and any closed subgroup of it is a
\series bold
 matrix Lie group
\series default
.
 Most if not all Lie groups we are interested in will be matrix Lie groups.
\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
 
\series bold
Lie bracket
\series default
 
\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, for algebras associated with 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 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Exponential Coordinates
\end_layout

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

-dimensional matrix Lie groups, as a vector space 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 hat 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 also 
\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 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.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Actions
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
An important concept is that of a group element acting on an element of
 a manifold 
\begin_inset Formula $M$
\end_inset

.
 For example, 2D rotations act on 2D points, 3D rotations act on 3D points,
 etc.
 In particular, a 
\series bold
left action
\series default
 of 
\begin_inset Formula $G$
\end_inset

 on 
\begin_inset Formula $M$
\end_inset

 is defined as a smooth map 
\begin_inset Formula $\Phi:G\times M\rightarrow M$

\begin_layout Subsection
The Adjoint Map and Adjoint Representation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Suppose a point 
\begin_inset Formula $p$
\end_inset

 is specified as 
\begin_inset Formula $p'$
\end_inset

 in the frame 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

, i.e., 
\begin_inset Formula $p'=Tp$
\end_inset

, where 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

 transforms from the global coordinates 
\begin_inset Formula $p$
\end_inset

 to the local frame 
\begin_inset Formula $p'$
\end_inset

.
 To apply an action 
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset

 we first need to undo 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

, then apply 
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset

, and then transform the result back to 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

: 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
q'=TAT^{-1}p'
\]

\end_inset

The matrix 
\begin_inset Formula $TAT^{-1}$
\end_inset

 is said to be conjugate to 
\begin_inset Formula $A$
\end_inset

, and this is a central element of group theory.

\begin_layout Standard
In general, the

\end_inset

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

, and is called the

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

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

 Its Lie algebra

 the vector space is 
\begin_inset Formula $\Rtwo$

\begin_inset Formula

\end_inset

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

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

\end_inset

For small angles 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

 we have 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
e^{\skew{\omega}}\approx I+\skew{\omega}=I+\omega\skew 1
\]

\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula $\skew 1$
\end_inset

 acts like a restricted

\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{equation}

Hence the derivative of the action is given as

\begin_layout Standard
Because a 3D rotation 
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset

 leaves the axis 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

 unchanged, 
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset

 can be diagonalized as
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
R=C\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
e^{-i\theta} & 0 & 0\\
0 & e^{i\theta} & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right)C^{-1}
\]

\end_inset

with 
\begin_inset Formula $C=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
c_{1} & c_{2} & \omega/\theta\end{array}\right)$
\end_inset

, where 
\begin_inset Formula $c_{1}$
\end_inset

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

 are the complex eigenvectors corresponding to the 2D rotation around 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

.
 This also means that, by 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:matrixAdjoint"

\end_inset

,
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\hat{\omega}=C\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
-i\theta & 0 & 0\\
0 & i\theta & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)C^{-1}
\]

\end_inset

In this case, 
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset

 has complex columns, but we also have
\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{equation}
\hat{\omega}=B\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & -\theta & 0\\
\theta & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{array}\right)B^{T}\label{eq:OmegaDecomposed}

\end_inset

with 
\begin_inset Formula $B=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}

\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula $b_{1}$
\end_inset

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

 form a basis for the 2D plane through the origin and perpendicular to 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

.
 Clearly, from Section 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sub:Diagonalized2D"

\end_inset

, we have 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
c_{1}=B\left(\begin{array}{c}

i\\
0
\end{array}\right)\mbox{\,\,\,\ and\,\,\,\,\,}c_{2}=B\left(\begin{array}{c}
i\\
1\\
0
\end{array}\right)
\]

\end_inset

and when we exponentiate 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:OmegaDecomposed"

\end_inset

 we expose the 2D rotation around the axis 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega/\theta$
\end_inset

 with magnitude 
\begin_inset Formula $\theta$
\end_inset

: 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
R=B\left(\begin{array}{ccc}
\cos\theta & -\sin\theta & 0\\
\sin\theta & \cos\theta & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right)B^{T}
\]

\end_inset

The latter form for 
\begin_inset Formula $R$
\end_inset

 can be used to prove Rodrigues' formula.
 Expanding the above, we get
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
R=\left(\cos\theta\right)\left(b_{1}b_{1}^{T}+b_{2}b_{2}^{T}\right)+\left(\sin\theta\right)\left(b_{2}b_{1}^{T}-b_{1}b_{2}^{T}\right)+\omega\omega^{T}/\theta^{2}

In the case of

\end_inset

 the vector space is  
\begin_inset Formula $\Rthree$
\end_inset

, and the group action corresponds to rotating a point
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
q=Rp
\]

\end_inset

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

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

\end_inset

hence the derivative is:
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\deriv{q(\omega)}{\omega}=R\deriv{}{\omega}\left(e^{\Skew{\omega}}p\right)=R\deriv{}{\omega}\left(\Skew{\omega}p\right)=R\Skew{-p}

To show the last equality note that 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\Skew{\omega}p=\omega\times p=-p\times\omega=\Skew{-p}\omega

 An alternative way of writing down elements of

 is as the ordered pair 
\begin_inset Formula $(R,\,t)$

 would do:
\begin_inset Formula

hence the derivative is
\begin_inset Formula

\end_inset

where 
\begin_inset Formula $\xihat\hat{p}$

 corresponds to a velocity in

 (in the local
