Kinematic Comparison of Exponential and Cayley Maps in the Planar Motion Group

In this work, the exponential and the Cayley maps, from the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{se(2)}$ of the planar motion group $SE(2)$, to the group itself are studied. The comparison between these maps on $SE(2)$ is given by using the Rodrigues vector. A three joint mechanism is discussed as an application.
