Manipulator Forward Kinematics • Motion is composition of elementary motions for each link End-effector Base
Relative Pose between 2 links • Frames can be chosen arbitrarily • Denavit-Hartenberg convention is used to assign frames – described in §3.2.2 of Spong, Hutchinson, Vidyasagar Text • Iterative process (start at base, assign frames for each link from base to end-effector)
DH Frame assignment • Frame {i} moves with link i when joint i is actuated • Zi axis is along joint axis i+1 • Zi is axis of actuation for joint i+1 Zi Link i-1 Link i+1 Link i Zi-1
DH convention: Assign Z axes • Use actuation as a guide • Prismatic – joint slides along zi • Revolute – joint rotates around zi • Establish base frame {0}: • Nearly arbitrary • Start at base and assign frames 1,…,N • Pick x-axis and origin • y-axis chosen to form a right hand system
Robot Base • Often base is “given” or some fixed point on the work-table is used. • z0 is along joint axis 1 • Original: • any point on z0 for origin • Modified DH: • {0} is defined to be completely co-incident with the reference system {1}, when the variable joint parameter, d1 or q1 , is zero.
DH convention: Assign X axes • Start at base and assign frames 1,…,N • Pick x-axis and origin • y-axis chosen to form a right hand system • Consider 3 cases for zi-1 and zi: • Not-coplanar • Parallel • Intersect
DH convention: x axis • zi-1 and zi are not-coplanar • Common normal to axes is the “link” axis • Intersection with zi is origin Usually, xi points from frame i-1 to i zi-1 Xi zi
DH convention: x axis • zi and zi-1 are parallel • Infinitely many common normals • Pick one to be the “link” axis • Choose normal that passes through origin of frame {i-1} pointing toward zi • Origin is intersection of xi with zi Xi zi-1 zi
DH convention: x axis zi If joint axes zi-1 and zi intersect, xi is normal to the plane containing the axes xi = (zi-1 zi ) zi-1 link i Xi
DH convention: Origin non-coplanar Z Origin of frame {i} is placed at intersection of joint axis and link axis zi xi
DH convention: y axis • Yi is chosen to make a right hand frame Zi xi points from frame i-1 to i Yi xi
DH convention: Origin parallel Z • zi and zi-1 are parallel • Origin is intersection of xi with zi zi-1 zi xi
DH convention: x axis - parallel Z • zi and zi-1 are parallel • Origin is intersection of xi with zi • Yi is chosen to make a right hand frame yi zi-1 zi xi
DH convention: origin If joint axes intersect, the origin of frame {i} is usually placed at intersection of the joint axes zi zi-1 link i xi
DH convention: y axis Yi is chosen to make a right hand frame zi zi-1 yi link i xi
End-Effector Frame • Frame to which the gripper is attached • Sometimes {n} is used • denoted by {e} (or {n+1} in many texts) • Often simple translation along Xn axis Z4 Ze Xe
End-Effector Frame • Frame to which the gripper is attached – • denoted by {e} (or {n+1} in many texts) • Often simple translation along Xn axis • Often: • Origin between grippers • Z points outward (approach) • Y points along pinch direction (sliding) • X points normal Z4 ye xe ze
