Description
Summary:A solving method for the inverse-kinematics (IK) problem of a kind of 6 degree of freedom (DOF) manipulator with the axes of the 3 adjacent rotational joints in the arm part,shoulder,elbow and wrist parallel is presented. The merit of this method is that,by utilizing the geometrical relation between the end-effector,hand and wrist of the manipulator determined by its structure,the position of the wrist corresponding to a desired end-effector orientation and position can be solved at the first step in the whole calculation process. And then,the solution of a 6-variable equations,which describes the relationship between the 6 joint positions of the manipulator and its end-effector orientation and position is reduced into two 3-variable equations,one of which describes the relationship between the wrist position and the positions of 3 joints distributed in the shoulder and elbow,and the other describes the relationship between the end-effector orientation and the positions of the rest 3 joint distributed in the wrist. This method reduces the complexity of solving the IK problem of a 6 DOF manipulator. The experiment results with an UR3 manipulator shows that,the method is able to compute the joints positions,in comparison with by applying the algorithm of the UR3 controller,the end-effector positioning accuracy of the manipulator by applying the presented method is up to millimeter-scale in linear and 1 degree in angular.
