CHAPTER 3 – KINEMATICS OF ROBOTS:
POSITION ANALYSIS
COMP ENG ELEC 2 – ROBOTICS/MACHINE LEARNING 2
Introduction
In this chapter, you will be redirected to various video links to understand the topics indicated. You will be exploring
the mechanism of robots including how matrix representation is done.
Objectives
At the end of the topic, the student should be able to:
➢ Identify Robots’ mechanism
➢ Explain the different matrix representations
➢ Transform homogeneous matrices
➢ Present transformations
➢ Perform inverse matrix transformation
