Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a robotic arm defined by the following D-H parameters: a1 = 2 units, α1 = 0°, d1 = 0 units, θ1 varies. Derive the transformation matrix for different values of θ1 (e.g. 0°, 90°, 180°).

💡 Hint: Use the standard form of the D-H transformation matrix and substitute the parameters properly.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a scenario where the Forward Kinematics calculations could yield incorrect results due to environmental factors. Describe how you would overcome these limitations.

💡 Hint: Think about real-world obstacles that could affect robotic tasks.
