Forward Kinematics of Movemaster RM-501            

Procedure

  • Insert different values of \( \quad\theta\quad \) within the joint range as prescribed in theory part and then click ok to get the output orientation and position of the end effector.
  • To see the individual movements of the robot links drag the sliders on the controller panel.
  • Manipulator position is shown in a 3D graph for every submission of joint values.
  • The view can be rotated about a point by keeping the left mouse button pressed and rotating the mouse.
  • The view can be translated by keeping the right mouse button pressed and translating the mouse in the desired direction.
  • The scroll button or middle mouse button can be used for zooming.
