Modern Robotics, Chapters 9.1 and 9.2: Point-to-Point Trajectories (Part 1 of 2)

This is a video supplement to the book "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control," by Kevin Lynch and Frank Park, Cambridge University Press 2017. See modernrobotics.org for information on the book, free software, and other materials.
This video introduces the concepts of paths, trajectories, and time scaling a path to get a trajectory. It also introduces representations of straight-line paths, constant screw paths, and paths that combine straight-line motion in Cartesian space with constant rotation.
This video is a brief summary of material from the book, and it is not meant to stand alone. For more details, such as an explanation of the notation, please consult the book and the other videos.
