Examples

Basics

• Design parameter: parameters that determine the geometry and topology of the mechanism

• Joint coordinates: Lengths or angles of the actuators

• Cartesian coordinates: Parameters that determine the relative position and orientation of end-effector frame to base frame

• Workspace: set of all poses that can be reached by the manipulator in presence of limits of active and passive joints

• Direct Kinematics: Given: Design of the manipulator and joint parameter

Find: possible positions and orientations of the manipulator

• Inverse KinematicsGiven: Design of the manipulator and the pose of the end-effector

Find: joint parameters
