Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A robot arm is given a torque of 10 Nm at the shoulder joint, and the mass/inertia matrix suggests an effective mass of 5 kg at the joint's center of mass. Calculate the acceleration of the arm at that joint.
💡 Hint: Consider how torque divided by mass determines acceleration.
Discuss the significance of accounting for Coriolis forces in applications with multiple degrees of freedom. How can ignoring these forces impact a robot's performance?
💡 Hint: Link Coriolis forces to unexpected robot behavior.
