The inverse kinematic problem of the general 6R robot manipulator is completely solved by means of a 16th degree polynomial equation in the tangent of the half-angle of a revolute joint. An algorithm is developed to compute the desired joint angles of all possible configurations of the kinematic chain for a given position of the end-effector. Examples for robots with maximal 16 different configurations show that the polynomial degree 16 is the lowest possible for the general 6R robot manipulator. Further, a numerical method for the determination of the boundaries of the workspace and its subspaces with different numbers of configurations is developed. These boundaries indicate the singular positions of the end-effector.

Kinematic Approach

This article proposes a novel inverse kinematic approach with translation transformation matrix based on screw theory to solve the inverse kinematic problem for 6R robot manipulator with offset joint. The translation transformation matrix is introduced to convert the 6R robot manipulator with offset joint to a new configuration with intersecting axes, and the mapping relationship from the end effector to the joint angle is established along with the Paden–Kahan subproblems. The eight closed solutions of the specific configuration are deduced, which automatically eliminate the singularity solutions. Moreover, the precision and efficiency of the proposed method are verified through a numerical example. Unlike other approaches, the presented algorithm not only inherits the superior accuracy of the other geometric approaches but also exhibits an outperform efficiency. Finally, the method is generalized to other 6R robots, which has closed-form solutions to further verify its versatility. The presented study provides some basis for further investigations, such as trajectory planning and motion control, which provides a new tool on the analysis and application of this kind of robot manipulator.

This article presents the kinematic analysis of a six-degree-of-freedom six-legged parallel mechanism of the 6-PUS architecture. The inverse kinematic problem is recalled and the Jacobian matrices are derived. Then, an algorithm for the geometric determination of the workspace is presented, which yields a very fast and accurate description of the workspace of the mechanism. Singular boundaries and a transmission ratio index are then introduced and studied for a set of architectural parameters. The proposed analysis yields conceptual architectures whose properties can be adjusted to fit given applications.

SUMMARYThis paper proposes an analytical method of solving the inverse kinematic problem for a humanoid manipulator with five degrees-of-freedom (DOF) under the condition that the target orientation of the manipulator's end-effector is not constrained around an axis fixed with respect to the environment. Since the number of the joints is less than six, the inverse kinematic problem cannot be solved for arbitrarily specified position and orientation of the end-effector. To cope with the problem, a generalized unconstrained orientation is introduced in this paper. In addition, this paper conducts the singularity analysis to identify all singular conditions.

Abstract This paper presents an algorithm for the solution of the inverse kinematics of a serial redundant manipulator with one (or more) locked joint(s). To this end, a general procedure is developed for the determination of the equivalent Denavit-Hartenberg parameters of a serial manipulator with locked joints. This procedure can be applied to any serial architecture. The solution of the inverse kinematic problem for the three cases which can arise is then addressed. An example of the application of the method to a SARCOS 7-DOF manipulator is also given.

Kinematic Solution

This article presents a polynomial solution to the inverse kinematic problem of the 6R serial Jaco robot. The solution is specifically tailored to the Jaco robot, which is not wrist-partitioned. The derivation of the univariate 16-degree polynomial is presented, starting from the direct kinematic equations providing the position and orientation of the end-effector as a function of the joint variables. Upon calculation of the roots of the polynomial, all joint variables are obtained by backsubstitution, leading to a unique set of joint variables for each of the roots. Also, it is shown that for certain configurations, the 16-degree polynomial contains only terms of even powers while all terms are not zero in general. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution process.

Traditionally, deterministic methods have been applied in digital human modeling (DHM). Transforming the deterministic approach of digital human modeling into a probabilistic approach is natural since there is inherent uncertainty and variability associated with DHM problems. Typically, deterministic studies in this field ignore this uncertainty or try to limit the uncertainty by employing optimization procedures. Due to the variability in the inputs, a deterministic study may not be enough to account for the uncertainty in the system. Probabilistic design techniques allow the designer to predict the likelihood of an outcome while also accounting for uncertainty, in contrast to deterministic studies. The purpose of this study is to incorporate probabilistic approaches to a deterministic DHM problem that has already been studied, analyzing human kinematics and dynamics. The problem is transformed into a probabilistic approach where the human kinematic and dynamic reliabilities are determined. The kinematic reliability refers to the probability that the human end-effector position (and/or orientation) falls within a specified distance from the desired position (and/or orientation) in an inverse kinematic problem. The dynamic reliability refers to the probability that the human end-effector position (and/or velocity) falls within a specified distance from the desired position (and/or velocity) along a specified trajectory in the workspace. The dynamic equations of motion for DHM are derived by the Lagrangian backward recursive dynamics formulation.

This paper proposes a unified method for the complete solution of the inverse kinematics problem of serial-chain manipulators. This method reduces the inverse kinematics problem for any 6 degree-of-freedom serial-chain manipulator to a single univariate polynomial of minimum degree from the fewest possible closure equations. It is shown that the univariate polynomials of 16th degree for the 6R, 5R-P and 4R-C manipulators with general geometry can be derived from 14, 10 and 6 closure equations, respectively, while the 8th and 4th degree polynomials for all the 4R-2P, 3R-P-C, 2R-2C, 3R-E and 3R-S manipulators can be derived from only 2 closure equations. All the remaining joint variables follow from linear equations once the roots of the univariate polynomials are found. This method works equally well for manipulators with special geometry. The minimal properties may provide a basis for a deeper understanding of manipulator geometry, and at the same time, facilitate the determination of all possible configurations of a manipulator with respect to a given end-effector position, the determination of the workspace and its subspaces with the different number of configurations, and the identification of singularity positions of the end-effector. This paper also clarifies the relationship between the three known solutions of the general 6R manipulator as originating from a single set of 14 equations by the first author.

The Given

For nonmagnetic and nonconductive medium the system of electrodynamic equations that corresponds to periodic in time oscillations is considered. An inverse problem of determining permittivity in this system by the given module of the electric strength is studied. It is supposed that the electric fields is a result of the interference of two fields created by point sources. The permittivity e(x) is assumed to be differ from a given positive constant e0 inside of a compact domain W0 Ì R3 only. An information on module of the electric strength is given on the boundary of the domain W contained W0 inside itself and for all frequencies beginning with some fixed frequency w0. The asymptotic behavior of solution of a direct problem related to the electrodynamic equations is studied and the original inverse problem is reduced to the well known inverse kinematic problem. This reduction open a way for constructive solution of the inverse phaseless problem.

Abstract The kinematic analysis and the determination of the singularity loci of spatial four-degree-of-freeedom parallel manipulators with prismatic or revolute actuators are discussed in this article. After introducing the architecture of the spatial parallel four-degree-of-freedom manipulators, algorithms for the solution of the inverse kinematic problem are provided for the two kinds of manipulators considered. Two different methods are presented for the derivation of the velocity equations and the corresponding Jacobian matrices are derived. The numerical determination of the workspace boundaries is then briefly discussed. Finally, the determination of the singularity loci is performed using the velocity equations and examples are given to illustrate the results obtained. Spatial four-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulators can be used in several robotic applications as well as in flight simulators. The determination of their singularity loci is a very important design issue.
