Abstract Points of intersection of a circle and a torus are used to find a solution to the inverse kinematics problem for a three revolute manipulator. Both geometrical and algebraic solution procedures are discussed. The algebraic procedure begins with a third order equation instead of the usual fourth order equation. Since the procedure is basically geometrical it lends itself to a computer implementation which graphically displays each steps in the solution procedure. The potential of this approach for both design and pedagogy is discussed.

SynopsisThe fourth-order equation considered isConditions are given on the coefficients r, p and q which ensure that this differential equation (*) is in the strong limit-2 case at ∞, i.e. is limit-2 at ∞. This implies that (*) has exactly two linearly independent solutions which are in the integrable-square space ℒ2(0, ∞) for all complex numbers λ with im [λ] ≠ 0. Additionally the conditions imply that self-adjoint operators generated by M[·] in ℒ2(0, ∞) are semi-bounded below. The results obtained are applied to the case when the coefficients r, p and q are powers of x ∈ [0, ∞).
