Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 2-DOF robot arm has link lengths of 5m and 3m. Calculate the angles required for the end-effector to reach the point (3, 4) in the plane.
💡 Hint: Form a triangle using the arm lengths and desired endpoints.
Given a set of multiple possible configurations for a given end-effector position, describe how you might choose the best configuration for a task.
💡 Hint: Visualize how an arm might fit in tight spaces.
