In robotics and computer science, forward kinematics is the process of computing the position of the end effector of a robot manipulator arm from the joint angles of the manipulator. It is one of the two main problems in robot kinematics, the other being inverse kinematics. Forward kinematics is used in a variety of applications, such as robot control, robot simulation, and robot path planning.
What is forward kinematics?
Forward kinematics is a mathematical procedure that takes the joint angles of a robot manipulator arm as input and computes the position of the end effector of the arm as output. The joint angles are the angles between the links of the manipulator arm, and the end effector is the part of the arm that interacts with the environment. Forward kinematics is used to determine the position of the end effector in space, which is necessary for robot control, simulation, and path planning.
How is forward kinematics used?
Forward kinematics is used in a variety of applications, such as:
- Robot control: Forward kinematics is used to control the movement of robot manipulator arms. By computing the joint angles that are required to move the end effector to a desired position, a robot controller can send the appropriate commands to the robot's motors.
- Robot simulation: Forward kinematics is used to simulate the movement of robot manipulator arms. This allows engineers to test different robot designs and control algorithms without having to build a physical robot.
- Robot path planning: Forward kinematics is used to plan the path of a robot manipulator arm. By computing the joint angles that are required to move the end effector along a desired path, a robot path planner can generate a sequence of commands that the robot can follow.
