A more efficient trajectory has a trapezoidal velocity profile.

For a simple 2-link planar robot we introduce and derive its Jacobian matrix, and also introduce the concept of spatial velocity.

For a real 6-link robot our previous approach to computing the Jacobian becomes unwieldy so we will instead compute a numerical approximation to the forward kinematic function.

We extend what we have learnt to a 3-link planar robot where we can also consider the rotational velocity of the end-effector.

We consider a robot, which has two rotary joints and an arm.

We repeat the process of the last section but this time consider it as an algebraic problem.

We consider a robot with three joints that moves its end-effector on a plane.

We consider the simplest possible robot, which has one rotary joint and an arm.

We revisit the simple 2-link planar robot and determine the inverse kinematic function using simple geometry and trigonometry.

A robot manipulator may have any number of joints. We look at how the shape of the Jacobian matrix changes depending on the number of joints of the robot.
