contents In the subdivision approach to robot path planning, we need to subdivide the configuration space of a robot into nice cells to perform various computations. For a rigid spatial robot, this configuration space is $SE(3)=\mathbb{R}^3\times SO(3)$. The subdivision of $\mathbb{R}^3$ is standard but so far, there are no global subdivision schemes for $SO(3)$. We recently introduced a representation for $SO(3)$ suitable for subdivision. This paper investigates the distortion of the natural metric on $SO(3)$ caused by our representation. The proper framework for this study lies in the Riemannian geometry of $SO(3)$, enabling us to obtain sharp distortion bounds.
