Screw theory is a mathematical and engineering framework used primarily in the fields of robotics, kinematics, and mechanical systems to analyze the motion and forces in rigid bodies. It provides a unified way to describe the motion of objects undergoing both rotational and translational movements. The concept of a "screw" in this context refers to a combination of both translational and rotational motion.
