How do you define holonomic? I was going off the wikipedia page, admittedly far from authoritative, but it reads:
Quote:
A robot is holonomic if the controllable degrees of freedom are equal to the total degrees of freedom.
I will add that I never liked this definition - it does not require that those degrees of freedom all have at least orthogonal components. It also considers mecanum and killough not to be holonomic until you add the mechanism or software library to map three inputs to four outputs.
