READY TO GO !!!

Define DH :

Create all six links using link command.

Li = Link( [ theta_i di ai alpha_i sigma_i ] )

Define Robot:

Create robot using links defined.

rv3sd = SerialLink([SH UA FA WR HD TP])

Define Offset for the link:

Create offset for links based on requirement.

UA.offset = pi/2.

Define end-effector position:

Create translation matrix for the position and add to robot using tool command.

Ttool = transl([x y z])

rv3sd.tool = Tool_Position

Define Base of the robot:

Create translation matrix for the position and add to robot using base command.

rv3sd.base = Tbase

Define Robot limits:

To define limits of joint you use glim command

UA.glim=[0 pi]

This will limit joint UA movement between 0 and 180 degrees

Forward kinematics

fkine

Command syntax is easy.

Joint space coordinates are specified in vector

Joint space vector

Q = [0 -pi/6 -pi/6 0 pi/3 0]

Calculating transformation matrix

Trans_Matrix = rv3sd.fkine(Q)

Finished transformation matrix

Trans_Matrix= -0.0000 0.0000 1.0000 2.6344

0.0000 -1.0000 -0.0000 -0.1000

1.0000 0.0000 0.0000 -2.2324

0 0 0 1.0000

Inverse Kinematics

Inverse kinematics is bit more difficult

First you need to define point in workspace

Next you need to create transformation matrix for that point

For this there are several commands

Point=[1, -0.3, 1.6]

Inverse Kinematics

transl

This command returns translational part of transformation matrix

Point=[1, -0.3, 1.6]

Transl(Point)= 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 -0.3 0 0 1 1.6 0 0 0 1

Inverse Kinematics

trotx, troty and trotz

Trot command creates rotational matrix around certain axel

Last letter defines axel around which rotational movement happens

You give value of rotation radians or degrees if you add correct syntax

Radians: trotx(a)

Degrees: trotx(a, deg)

trotx(a)= 1 0 0 0

0 cos(a) -sin(a) 0

0 sin(x) cos(x) 0

0 0 0 1

troty(a)= cos(a) 0 sin(a) 0

0 1 0 0

-sin(a) 0 cos(a) 0

0 0 0 1

trotz(a)= cos(x) -sin(x) 0 0

sin(x) cos(x) 0 0

0 0 1 0

0 0 0 1

Inverse Kinematics

By combining previous commands you can create transformation matrix for certain point in workspace

As an example I create transformation matrix for point (1, -0.3, 1.6) in frame that is rotared by -90 degrees around y-axel and then 180 degrees around z-axel

Point=[1, -0.3, 1.6]

Trans_Matrix= transl(Point)*troty(-90, deg) *trotz(180, deg)

Trans_Matrix= -0 -0 -1 1

0 -1 0 -0.03

-1 0 0 1.6

0 0 0 1

Inverse Kinematics

Now I can calculate the inverse kinematics for point (1, -0.3, 1.6)

Ikine

This command calculates inverse kinematics of manipulator

Command syntax requires transformation matrix

Additional commands allow you to define starting point for robot (q0) and limit for iterations

rv3sd.ikine(Trans_Matrix)

Program does calculations. It could take a lot of time.

Ans= -0.4578 -0.3025 1.9375 -1.1138 1.5425 1.6284

rv3sd.ikine(Trans_Matrix,q0, ilimit, 2000)

Jacobians

Matlab has two commands that create jacobian matrix. Difference between these commands is used coordinate frame.

Jacob0 uses base coordinate frame.

Jacobn uses end-effector coordinate frame.

Command syntax for both is same. Robot position is given in form of joint coordinates.

Q= 1.0969 -0.7986 -0.6465 1.1002 1.5136 -0.1120

rv3sd.jacob0(Q) rv3sd.jacobn(Q)

Trajectory

Matlab has two commands for trajectory planning

Ctraj, plotting a route in cartesian space

Jtraj, plotting aroute in joint space

Unlike Jtraj, Ctraj is not related to defined robot

Trajectory

Ctraj

Command returns straight path in cartesian space

Command syntax requires beginning and end points in form of translational matrix

Addditional options are number of points along the path. In example I use 50 points along the path.

Pb = [0.75 1.26 0.16] Pa = [0.55 1.79 0.26]

Tb = transl(Pb)Ta = transl(Pa)

ctraj(Tb,Ta,50)

Trajectory

Jtraj

Command returns joint space path between two points

Command syntax requires beginning and end points in form joint coordinate vectors

Pb = [0.75 1.26 0.16] Pa = [0.55 1.79 0.26]

We use ikine funtion and other commands teached before to create joint coordinate vectors Qa and Qb.[Q,QD,QDD] = jtraj(Qa, Qb, time_interval);

Gives joint space position(Q) , joint velocity (QD) and joint acceleration(QDD)

Dynamics

Create the inertia tensor matrix:

The parameters h, d, w are obtained from

the physical dimension of the link .

Define the following parameters for each link:

Mass (m)

Viscous Friction (B)

Gear Ratio (G)

Motor Inertia (Jm)

Center of Gravity (r)

Inverse Dynamics

Joint torques can be created using Inverse Dynamics, which is required to move the work piece over the joint space path.

Create a joint space trajectory for the joint space motion.

Syntax for joint space trajectory.

[Q,QD,QDD] = jtraj(Qa,Qb, time_interval);

rne

Joint torques for the trajectory Q is computed using the command rne and the syntax is

Torque_Q = rv3ds.rne(Q, QD,QDD)

Forward Dynamics

Trajectory of the manipulator and velocity profile can be computed using torque applied using Forward Dynamics.

accel

The acceleration of the manipulator can be calculated using the command accel.

QDD = rv3ds.accel(Q, QD, Torque_Q)

The velocity can be calculated using time interval defined (time).

QD_v = QDD * time_interval;
