Translation is the easiest kind of transformation. Translating a point means that it is shifted by a translation vector. So the translation vector is added to the position vector of . The position vector of the resulting transformed point is calculated as follows:
The figure on the right shows an example in two-dimensional space. In robotics usually three dimensions are regarded. Considering the particular components of the vectors, a translation looks as follows:
