What coordinate system is used in Microsoft Robotics Studio Simulation Environment?
MSRS Visual Simulation Environment uses the right handed coordinate system. In a right handed coordinate system a rotation about a directed axis is called positive if it causes a right handed screw to advance in the positive direction of the axis. In the virtual three dimensional world we have three axes. If your robot is located at position (x=0, y=0, z=0) in the world, then: The positive X represents the right of the robot, and the negative X coordinates represent the left of the robot. For instance, to place a ball to the right of the robot, we would use something like (x=1, y=0, z=0). The positive Y represents the top of the robot, and the negative Y coordinates represent the bottom of the robot. For instance, in order to not to have the former ball embedded in the ground, we should elevate its position a little bit, using something like (x=1, y=0.5, z=0). The positive Z represents the rear of the robot, and the negative Z coordinates represent the front of the robot. For instance,
