Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A robotic arm with three joints is set to lift a 5 kg load at its end-effector. If the terminal link has a length of 1 m, calculate the required torque at the first joint if it accelerates the load at 2 m/s².
💡 Hint: Pay attention to the effective length of the arm and mass distribution when finding the moment of inertia.
Consider a humanoid robot trying to stand up. If the robot has six joints, each must calculate the necessary torque to maintain an upright posture when a lateral force is applied. Describe how it uses the Newton-Euler formulation to adjust its position.
💡 Hint: Think about how each joint’s torque must balance the external forces for stability.
