Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are designing a two-joint robotic arm for a task in a confined space. The first link is 20 cm with an offset of 5 cm, and the second link is 30 cm with an offset of 10 cm. How do you ensure the arm can navigate within its workspace?

💡 Hint: Consider how the end-effector's position is determined by both the lengths and offsets.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a robot with a certain link offset d needs to change its configuration to perform a new task requiring a different d, how would you approach recalibrating the system?

💡 Hint: Think about how the parameters relate to the robot's operational tasks.
