  1. Robotic Motion The linear algebra of Canadarm

  2. The robot arm simulation The movements of the robotic arm can be described using orthogonal matrices.

  3. Six degrees of freedom • The first segment is fixed to the wall but is free to rotate. • The motion of the 2nd segment is confined to a plane; however, combining it with the rotation of the 1st segment allows it to move in the right half-space. • The third segment can rotate and move in a plane and the same is true of the fourth segment.

  4. Spherical co-ordinates • We want to determine this in the Cartesian co-ordinate system. • Note that z/r= cos φ. • x/s= cos θ and y/s= sin θ. • To eliminate s, we note s/r = sin φ. • Therefore x=r cos φ cos θ, y= r sin φ cos θ, z = r cos φ. • Thus if r=1, the direction of the vector is given by two co-ordinates, φ and θ. • We can reverse the calculation: given x, y,z, what are the values of r, θ, and φ ? (x,y,z) s

  5. Inverse Kinematics (x,y) • To move the robotic arm to the position (x,y), we need to rotate the first arm by an angle α and the second arm by β. • We will assume known the lengths L1 and L2 of the two arms.

  6. Law of sines • The angle α is the sum of two angles: arctan(y/x) and the angle φ which we can calculate using the sine law. φ φ =

  7. Law of cosines • This is a generalization of the Pythagorean theorem. • We will apply this to the robotic problem.

  8. Calculation α and β • The second term coming from the angle (x,y) makes with the horizontal axis. √

  9. Six degrees of freedom again • P is specified using three co-ordinates and is obtained from the three rotations 1, 2 and 3 indicated. • Rotations 4 and 5 are used to orient the axis of the claw. • Rotation 6 rotates the claw to the desired angle about its axis.

  10. Moving a solid in a plane • It requires two co-ordinates (x,y) to specify the position of A after it is moved. • One more parameter, the angle α, is needed to specify the rotation with respect to the horizontal axis AB. (x,y) A B

  11. Robotic motion and orthogonal matrices • Any rotation in R2 is given by a matrix of this form. • These matrices are orthogonal: AAt = I. • We will show all 2 x 2 orthogonal matrices A with det A=1 have this form. • The motion of a robotic arm in R3 is a sequence of translations and rotations. • With a suitable basis, any rotation in R3 is of the following form:

  12. The cross product • Here n is a vector of unit length perpendicular to both the vectors a and b.

  13. The right hand rule • The green vector depicting the cross product changes as the angle between the two vectors changes. • The cross product is neither commutative nor associative but satisfies the Jacobi identity. a, b, c in R3

  14. Transformations of R3 preserving lengths and angles • Theorem: Any movement of a solid in space is the composition of a translation and rotation about some axis. After an appropriate choice of basis for R3, the rotation is given by the matrix:

  15. Rotations in Rn • Any orthogonal matrix has determinant +1 or -1.

  16. Rotations in Rn with det = -1. • This has the following geometric meaning:
