What is the end point location (X, Y) if the joint   Y
angles are:                                                              End Point

Given the 3 link lengths (a1, a2 and a3)
are 10mm each

angles are:                                                                         End Point

are 10mm each
                                                                           Joint 1 Angle

                                                                                       X
a1 = a2 = a3 = 10mm

x = a2*sin (j1) + a3*sin (j1 + j2) = 10 * 0.5 + 10 * 1 = 15mm

y = a2*cos (j1) + a3*cos (j1 + j2) = 10 * 0.866 + 10 * 0 = 8.66mm
Inverse Kinematics
 Inverse Kinematics:
                                                       Joint 2 Angle
 Lets say that the end point is at (15, 8.66) mm   Y
                                                                       End Point
 Given the 3 link lengths (a1, a2 and a3)
 are 10mm each

 What are the joint angles?
                                                              Joint 1 Angle

                                                                          X
      Is it only 30 & 60 ?


Solve: Hint Cos(A+B) = CosA.CosB – SinA.SinB
Inverse Kinematics
 From the FK equations:
 x = a2*sin (j1) + a3*sin (j1 + j2)                     Joint 2 Angle
 y = a2*cos (j1) + a3*cos (j1 + j2)                 Y
                                                                        End Point
 Simplifying the notations

 x = a2.s1 + a3.s12
 y = a2.c1 + a3.c12

 If we square and add, we get                                  Joint 1 Angle
 x2 + y2 = a22 + a32 + 2a2a3 [ s1.s12 + c1. c12 ]
                                                                           X
 which is to say

 x2 + y2 = a22 + a32 + 2a2a3 c2

 Thus c2 = (x2 + y2 – a22 – a32) / 2(a2.a3)

 Remember: cos(-x) = cos(x)
Inverse Kinematics
 Now that we have solved joint 2 = j2
                                                       Joint 2 Angle
 x = a2.s1 + a3.s12                                Y
 y = a2.c1 + a3.c12
                                                                       End Point
 x = a2.s1 + a3s1c2 + a3s2c1
 y = a2.c1 + a3c1c2 – a3s1s2

 x = s1 [ a2 + a3 c2 ] + a3s2 c1
 y = c1 [ a2 + a3 c2 ] – a3s2 s1
                                                              Joint 1 Angle
 let k1 = a2 + a3 c2 and k2 = a3s2

 x = k1 s1 + k2 c1                                                        X
 y = k1 c1 + k2 s1

 Substituting: k1 = r cos (t) and k2 = r sin (t)
 we will get

 t + j1 = Atan2 ( y, x) where t = Atan2( k2, k1)
Inverse Kinematics
 Final Solution


 Solution 1 = [ 30, 60 ] ..... obviously

 Solution 2 = [90, -60 ]


 In principle:

 Inverse Kinematics will almost always give you
 more than one solution!
Summarizing

Robot Manipulators cover the core concepts of robot design & control

Manipulators are necessarily kinematic chains with links and joints (drives)

The crux of robot arm control is based on the theory of kinematic

Kinematics are used in both Position and Velocity domain

Kinematics are of two kinds – Forward and Inverse Kinematics

Forward Kinematics is easy and is used mainly for Analysis

Inverse Kinematics is complex and is used for robot control and operations

Classical Industrial Robots have structures to easy out complex calculations

Modern day robots are equipped with powerful computers and hence there is no restriction on
the structure
