The traditional Denavit–Hatenberg method is a relatively mature method for modeling the kinematics of robots. However, it has an obvious drawback, in that the parameters of the Denavit–Hatenberg model are discontinuous, resulting in singularity when the adjacent joint axes are parallel or close to parallel. As a result, this model is not suitable for kinematic calibration. In this article, to avoid the problem of singularity, the product of exponentials method based on screw theory is employed for kinematics modeling. In addition, the inverse kinematics of the 6R robot manipulator is solved by adopting analytical, geometric, and algebraic methods combined with the Paden–Kahan subproblem as well as matrix theory. Moreover, the kinematic parameters of the Denavit–Hatenberg and the product of exponentials-based models are analyzed, and the singularity of the two models is illustrated. Finally, eight solutions of inverse kinematics are obtained, and the correctness and high level of accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this article are verified. This algorithm provides a reference for the inverse kinematics of robots with three adjacent parallel joints.

SummaryThe algorithms of inverse kinematics based on optimality constraints have some problems because those are based only on necessary conditions for optimality. One of the problems is a switching problem, i.e., an undesirable configuration change from a maximum value of a performance measure to a minimum value may occur and cause an inverse kinematic solution to be unstable. In this paper, we derive sufficient conditions for the optimal solution of the kinematic control of a redundant manipulator. In particular, we obtain the explicit forms of the switching condition for the optimality constraintsbased methods. We also show that the configuration at which switching occurs is equivalent to an algorithmic singularity in the extended Jacobian method. Through a numerical example of a cyclic task, we show the problems of the optimality constraints-based methods. To obtain good configurations without switching and kinematical singularities, we propose a simple algorithm of inverse kinematics.

Three basic sub-problems of screw theory are acceptable for some particular configuration manipulators’ inverse kinematics, which can not solve the inverse kinematics of all configuration manipulators. This paper introduces two extra extended sub-problems, through which all inverse kinematic solutions for 6-R manipulators having closed-form inverse kinematics can be gained. The inverse kinematic solution for a new particular configuration manipulator is presented.

Interval analysis is a growing branch of computational mathematics where operations are carried out on intervals instead of real numbers. This paper presents the first application of this method to robotic mechanisms for the solution of inverse kinematics. As shown in this paper, it is possible to potentially compute all solutions of the inverse kinematics problem using this method. This paper describes the preliminaries of interval analysis, the numerical algorithm, the computational complexity, and illustrations with examples.

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.

Automated methods are developed to classify a robot's kinematic type and select an appropriate library inverse-kinematic solution based on this classification. These methods automatically generate DenavitHartenberg joint frame parameters, given any frame representation that can mathematically be represented as a homogeneous transformation.To reduce the number of closed-form inverse-kinematics solutions required for a broad class of serial robots, additional methods account for differences in robot zero state, base frame location, and joint polarity. Further generalization results from using joint frame decoupling to map lower degree-of-freedom robots into the inverse-kinematics solutions of higher degree-offreedom robots.

Abstract In this study, an inverse kinematic solution approach applicable to six degree-of-freedom industrial robotic manipulators is introduced. The approach is based on a previously introduced kinematic classification of industrial robotic manipulators by Balkan et al. (1999), and depending on the kinematic structure, either an analytical or a semi-analytical inverse kinematic solution is obtained. The semi-analytical method is named as the parametrized joint variable (PJV) method. Compact forward kinematic equations obtained by utilizing the properties of exponential rotation matrices. In the inverse kinematic solutions of the industrial robots surveyed in the previous study, most of the simplified compact equations can be solved analytically and the remaining few of them can be solved semi-analytically through a numerical solution of a single univariate equation. In these solutions, the singularities and the multiple configurations of the manipulators can be determined easily. By the method employed in this study, the kinematic and inverse kinematic analysis of any manipulator or designed-to-be manipulator can be performed and using the solutions obtained, the inverse kinematics can also be computerized by means of short and fast algorithms. As an example for the demonstration of the applicability of the presented method to manipulators with closed-chains, ABB IRB2000 industrial robot is selected which has a four-bar mechanism for the actuation of the third link, and its compact forward kinematic equations are given as well as the inverse kinematic solution.
