Question

Given below are the two statements:
Statement (I): The scale factor in homogeneous transformation matrix can be any real value.
Statement (II): For robotics study, the scale factor in homogeneous transformation matrix is one.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

In robotics homogeneous transformation matrices are used to calculate the position and orientation of objects and scaling is usually not part of the transformation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In homogeneous transformation matrices used in robotics the scale factor is typically one This is because the transformation matrices are used to describe the position and orientation of objects without scaling them Statement (I) is incorrect while Statement (II) is correct
