Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a robotic arm with the following D-H parameters: θ=30°, d=5, a=10, and α=90°, derive the transformation matrix.
💡 Hint: Follow the structure methodically: cos(θ) and sin(θ) for both angles and then fill in the rest.
If a robot has three joints, how would you adjust its D-H parameters to account for an additional joint? Discuss the challenges this may introduce.
💡 Hint: Think about how each joint affects the position and orientation of connected arms.
