It is a challenge to get real-time solutions for the inverse kinematics problem of 6R robot. In this study, a digital signal processor (DSP) was adopted as the central processor for the algorithm inverse kinematics. Based on it, the robot end-effector carried out the interpolation of point-to-point spatial straight line, and the inverse kinematics solving of 6R robot manipulators end-effector was achieved. The deflection variations of the 6 joints were acquired during the interpolation in a Cartesian coordinate. The results show that inverse Kinematics solution for each interpolation point only cost 0.06588 millisecond using DSP 6711. This hard structure can ensure the real-time performance of control for robot and content the real-time control performance expected of industrial manipulators.
