• Motion is composition of elementary motions for each link

Manipulator Forward Kinematics
Relative Pose between 2 links
• Frames can be chosen arbitrarily• Denavit-Hartenberg convention is used
to assign frames – described in §3.2.2 of Spong, Hutchinson, Vidyasagar Text
• Iterative process (start at base, assign frames for each link from base to end-effector)
DH Frame assignment• Frame {i} moves with link i when joint i is actuated
• Zi axis is along joint axis i+1
• Zi is axis of actuation for joint i+1
Link i
Zi-1
Zi
Link i+1Link i-1
DH convention: Assign Z axes
• Use actuation as a guide– Prismatic – joint slides along zi
– Revolute – joint rotates around zi
• Establish base frame {0}:– Nearly arbitrary
• Start at base and assign frames 1,…,N– Pick x-axis and origin– y-axis chosen to form a right hand system
Robot Base
• Often base is “given” or some fixed point on the work-table is used.
• z0 is along joint axis 1
• Original: – any point on z0 for origin
• Modified DH: – {0} is defined to be
completely co-incident with the reference system {1}, when the variable joint parameter, d1 or 1 , is zero.
DH convention: Assign X axes
• Start at base and assign frames 1,…,N– Pick x-axis and origin– y-axis chosen to form a right hand system
• Consider 3 cases for zi-1 and zi:– Not-coplanar– Parallel– Intersect
DH convention: x axis• zi-1 and zi are not-coplanar
• Common normal to axes is the “link” axis
• Intersection with zi is origin
Xizi-1zi
Usually, xi points from frame i-1 to i
DH convention: x axis
• zi and zi-1 are parallel• Infinitely many common normals• Pick one to be the “link” axis
• Choose normal that passes through origin of frame {i-1} pointing toward zi
• Origin is intersection of xi with zi
Xi
zi-1 zi
DH convention: x axis
If joint axes zi-1 and zi
intersect, xi is normal to the plane containing the axes
link i
Xi
xi = (zi-1 zi )

DH convention: Origin non-coplanar Z
Origin of frame {i} is placed at intersection of joint axis and link axis

DH convention: y axis
• Yi is chosen to make a right hand frame
xi
Zixi points from frame i-1 to i
Yi
DH convention: Origin parallel Z
• zi and zi-1 are parallel
• Origin is intersection of xi with zi
xi
zizi-1
DH convention: x axis - parallel Z
• zi and zi-1 are parallel
• Origin is intersection of xi with zi
• Yi is chosen to make a right hand frame

If joint axes intersect, the origin of frame {i} is usually placed at intersection of the joint axes
End-Effector Frame• Frame to which
the gripper is attached– Sometimes {n} is
used – denoted by {e} (or
{n+1} in many texts)
– Often simple translation along Xn axis

End-Effector Frame• Frame to which
the gripper is attached – – denoted by {e} (or
{n+1} in many texts)
– Often simple translation along Xn axis
• Often:– Origin between
grippers– Z points outward
(approach)– Y points along
pinch direction (sliding)
– X points normal

Link Transformations
• Described by 4 parameters:– i : twist
– ai : link length
– di : joint offset
– i : joint angle
• Joint variable is di or i
• Build Table with values for each link:Link Var d a
