Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A robotic arm needs to pick up an object located at (3, 2, 5) in Cartesian space. The arm has three joints with specific limits. Describe the process to determine suitable joint angles.
💡 Hint: Focus on the geometry of the arm and how each joint interrelates.
Consider a high-speed robotic assembly line where switching between Cartesian and joint space representations presents challenges. Discuss the trade-offs of using one over the other.
💡 Hint: Evaluate the context of the robotic tasks when making your decision.
