Last updated: December 9, 2024

Definition

The mathematical study of robot motion without considering forces.

Detailed Explanation

Robot kinematics involves analyzing the geometric and time-based properties of robot motion. It includes forward kinematics (calculating end-effector position from joint angles) and inverse kinematics (determining joint angles needed for desired end-effector position). The study uses transformation matrices, Denavit-Hartenberg parameters, and vector calculus to describe spatial relationships between robot components.

Use Cases

Industrial robot arm programming, Animation and simulation, Surgical robot precision control, Humanoid robot movement design
