Understanding Object Motion of Tools and Vehicles

Abstract

Many types of common objects, such as tools and vehicles, usually move in simple ways when they are wielded or driven. The natural axes of the object tend to remain aligned with the local trihedron defined by the object's trajectory. Based on this observation we use a model called Frenet-Serret motion which corresponds to the motion of a moving trihedron along a space curve. Knowing how the Frenet-Serret frame is changing relative to the observer gives us essential information for understanding the object's motion. This is illustrated here for four examples, involving tools (a wrench and a saw) and vehicles (an accelerating van, a turning taxi).
