Kinematics will enable us to calculate what each joint variable must be if we desire the
hand to be located at a particular point and have a particular orientation.
2. Define statics.
Statics deals with force which acts on the various parts which are assumed to be rest.
3. What is link?
A link may be defined as a member (or) a combination of member of mechanism
connecting other members and having motion to them.
Link of machine may transfer both power and motion
4. What is forward kinematics?
It is a scheme to determine joint angle by robot knowing its position in the world
coordinate system
5. What is reverse kinematics?
It is a scheme to determine the position of the robot in the world coordinate system by
knowing the joint angles and the link parameter of the robot.
6. Define manipulator kinematics.
Manipulator kinematics is connected with the position and orientation of the robots
end of arm or end effector attached to it as a function of time but without regard for
the effects of force (or) mass.
7. Write about transformation.
Before a robot can move its hand to an object must be located relative to
it. There is currently no simple method for measuring the location of the
robot hand.
Most robot calculated the position of their hand using kinematic model of
their arm.

12.
A robot singularity occurs when robot axes are redundant (more axes then necessary
to cause the same motion) or when the robot is in certain configurations that require
extremely high joint rates to move at some nominal speed in Cartesian space.
13.
Explain redundancy?
Most industrial robots have 6 or less joints, thus, redundancy is not inherent to
their design.
Some robots, though, do not have a certain joint arrangement in their final
orientation joints that can lead to redundancy for certain orientations. For
example, some robots have the final three joint axes (joints 4, 5 and 6 in a six axis
robot) arranged in a roll, pitch, roll sequence.
14.
Differentiate between Forward kinematics and reverse kinematics?
Forward kinematics:
Given the joint angles, determine the position and orientation of the end
effector.
The outcome of the forward kinematics problem is always unique. There are no
multiple solution.
Inverse kinematics:
Given the position and the orientation of the end effector, determine the
numerical values for the joint variable.
This problem is not quite straight forward like the forward kinematic problem
