Training simulationIn business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.
Cinématique inverseLa cinématique inverse (souvent abrégée IK, de l'anglais inverse kinematics) désigne l'ensemble des méthodes de calcul des positions et rotations d'un modèle articulaire afin d'obtenir une pose désirée. Les méthodes de cinématique inverse sont principalement utilisées en infographie, en robotique, en animation ou encore en chimie. Le terme cinématique inverse renvoie au fait que la résolution des calculs est généralement basée sur les équations cinématiques du modèle articulaire.
Simulation softwareSimulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation. Simulation software is used widely to design equipment so that the final product will be as close to design specs as possible without expensive in process modification. Simulation software with real-time response is often used in gaming, but it also has important industrial applications.
Forward kinematicsIn robot kinematics, forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation. The reverse process, that computes the joint parameters that achieve a specified position of the end-effector, is known as inverse kinematics.
Instrument amplifierAn instrument amplifier is an electronic device that converts the often barely audible or purely electronic signal of a musical instrument into a larger electronic signal to feed to a loudspeaker. An instrument amplifier is used with musical instruments such as an electric guitar, an electric bass, electric organ, synthesizers and drum machine to convert the signal from the pickup (with guitars and other string instruments and some keyboards) or other sound source (e.
Robot kinematicsIn robotics, robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems. The emphasis on geometry means that the links of the robot are modeled as rigid bodies and its joints are assumed to provide pure rotation or translation. Robot kinematics studies the relationship between the dimensions and connectivity of kinematic chains and the position, velocity and acceleration of each of the links in the robotic system, in order to plan and control movement and to compute actuator forces and torques.
Infographie tridimensionnelleLa synthèse d'images tridimensionnelles, souvent appelée infographie tridimensionnelle ou infographie 3D (3D pour trois dimensions : x, y, z, les trois axes qui constituent le repère orthonormé de la géométrie dans l'espace), est un ensemble de techniques notamment issues de la CAO qui permet la représentation d'objets en perspective sur un moniteur d'ordinateur. Elle est actuellement très utilisée en art numérique dans l'industrie du film, initiée par les studios Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, Blue Sky, Illumination et ILM et, .
