Gimbal lock — occurs when the axes of two of the three gimbals needed to compensate for rotations in three dimensional space are driven to the same direction. For example, assume a level sensing platform on an aircraft flying due north has its three gimbal… … Wikipedia

gimbal — [gim′bəl, jim′bəl] n. 〚altered < ME gemelles, twins < L gemellus, dim. of geminus, twin〛 [often pl.] a device consisting of a pivoted ring or rings capable of swinging freely while mounted to a fixed frame, used as to hold a ship s gyroscope… … Universalium
Gimbal — A gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis. A set of two gimbals, one mounted on the other with pivot axes orthogonal, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain vertical… … Wikipedia
Euler angles — The Euler angles were developed by Leonhard Euler to describe the orientation of a rigid body (a body in which the relative position of all its points is constant) in 3 dimensional Euclidean space. To give an object a specific orientation it may… … Wikipedia
Conversion between quaternions and Euler angles — Spatial rotations in three dimensions can be parametrized using both Euler angles and unit quaternions. This article explains how to convert between the two representations. Actually this simple use of quaternions was first presented by Euler… … Wikipedia
