Unless otherwise indicated, all the problems are from the
course text, Craig, Introduction to Robotics. Unless
otherwise indicated, each problem is worth 10 points.
- 3.11 Also compute the forward kinematics.
- 3.16 Also compute the forward kinematics.
- 3.21 Also compute the forward kinematics.
- Write a computer program to numerically compute the inverse
kinematics for the three link manipulator shown in Craig,
Figure 3.29. Hint: using Mathematica or Matlab root finding routines is
probably the easiest way to do this.
- In class, we computed the inverse kinematics for a Puma 560
using Pieper's method. This homework problem is to find
one of the solutions for the given data (recall that
there are four solutions). For the physical parameters of the
robot, let
a2 = 2 ft
d3 = 0.5 ft
a3 = .16666 ft
d4 = 2 ft
Let the desired location and orientation of the {6}
frame relative to the {0} frame be
