Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A robotic arm with four joints has the following D-H parameters: a_1 = 10, α_1 = 0°, d_1 = 5, θ_1 = 45°; a_2 = 7, α_2 = 90°, d_2 = 0, θ_2 = 30°. Calculate the transformation matrix from the first joint to the second joint, incorporating appropriate D-H transformations.

💡 Hint: Break down calculations into manageable parts. Use the standard D-H table format.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the impact of changing the link twist (α_i) on a robotic manipulator's reaching capability. Provide an example illustrating how different angles might affect arm reach in a specific orientation.

💡 Hint: Consider the geometric implications of changing the angles in a physical space.
