Today, we will calculate the forward kinematics of some 3D robots. This means we would like to come up with a set of transformations such that we can know the x, y, z coordinates of the end effector with respect to the world coordinate system which is at the base of the robot.

Agenda for today’s class (80 minutes)

  1. (20 minutes) Review Pre-Class Assignment
  2. (30 minutes) Robot Kinematics - Pick and Place
  3. (30 minutes) Odd Clock
