Learning Outcomes

Forward Kinematics

Forward Kinematics - Examples

Inverse Kinematics - Concept

Inverse Kinematics - Example

Lesson Summary

This module is about Kinematics. The direct forward kinematics introduces the problem of the case of the Alpha II Arm and that of six-axis articulated Arm. You will learn how to cross-check to make sure that the formulation you got for the forward kinematics is correct. The inverse kinematics problems will also be addressed. Specific examples will be given, along with the most commonly used equations and their solutions.

Differential Motions and Statics

Manipulator Jacobian and Statics

This module covers differential motions and statics, allowing you to learn about the calculation of the Jacobean. You will also learn about the singularities, along with the generalized inverses. The module addresses the Manipulator Jacobian, highlighting the computational method, along with the related algorithm. The numerical computation of the Jacobian will be unravelled.
