Analyzing a very simple 1-joint robot arm
lesson
We consider the simplest possible robot, which has one rotary joint and an arm.
lesson
We consider the simplest possible robot, which has one rotary joint and an arm.
lesson
For a simple 2-link planar robot we introduce and derive its Jacobian matrix, and also introduce the concept of spatial velocity.
lesson
We consider a robot, which has two rotary joints and an arm.
lesson
We resume our analysis of the 6-link robot Jacobian and focus on the rotational velocity part.
lesson
We consider a robot with three joints that moves its end-effector on a plane.
lesson
We revisit the simple 2-link planar robot and determine the inverse kinematic function using simple geometry and trigonometry.
lesson
A number of strategies exist to reduce the effect of these coupling torques between the joints, from introducing a gearbox between the motor and the joint, to advanced feedforward strategies.
lesson
We will use Simulink to create a dynamic model of a single robot joint and simulate its operation.
lesson
We will introduce resolved-rate motion control which is a classical Jacobian-based scheme for moving the end-effector at a specified velocity without having to compute inverse kinematics.
lesson
We learn to compute a trajectory that involves simultaneous smooth motion of many robot joints.
