Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a robotic arm with two joints and link lengths of 5 units each. If θ1 is 30 degrees and θ2 is 45 degrees, calculate the end-effector position.
💡 Hint: Break it down into two steps: First, calculate positions for each angle independently.
If the joint angle θ of a robotic arm is adjusted from 60° to 120°, how would this affect the reach of the arm?
💡 Hint: Visualize moving your arm to understand the change in reach more clearly.
