Forward Kinematics

General Transformation Matrix

$T^i_{i-1} = \begin{bmatrix} cos \theta_i & -sin \theta_i cos \alpha_i & sin \theta_i sin \alpha_i & \alpha_i cos \theta_i \\ sin \theta_i & cos \theta_i cos \alpha_i & -cos \theta_i sin \alpha_i & \alpha_i sin \theta_i \\ 0 & sin \alpha_i & cos \alpha_i & d_i \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} C \theta_i & -S \theta_i C \alpha_i & S \theta_i S \alpha_i & \alpha_i C \theta_i \\ S \theta_i & C \theta_i C \alpha_i & -C \theta_i S \alpha_i & \alpha_i S \theta_i \\ 0 & S \alpha_i & C \alpha_i & d_i \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Transformation Matrix for each joints

Represent to $sin \theta_1 = S_1 ...$

$T^1_{0} = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 & 0 & -S_1 & a_1 C_1 \\ S_1 & 0 & C_1 & a_1 S_1 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & d_1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $T^2_{1} = \begin{bmatrix} C_2 & -S_2 & 0 & a_2 C_2 \\ S_2 & C_2 & 0 & a_2 S_2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $T^3_{2} = \begin{bmatrix} C_3 & -S_3 & 0 & a_3 C_3 \\ S_3 & C_3 & 0 & a_3 S_3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $T^4_{3} = \begin{bmatrix} C_4 & 0 & -S_4 & 0 \\ S_4 & 0 & C_4 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $T^5_{4} = \begin{bmatrix} C_5 & -S_5 & 0 & 0 \\ S_5 & C_5 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & d_5 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Transformation Matrix from $J_1$ to $J_3$ (Base to Wrist)

$T^3_{1} = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 C_2 C_3 -C_1 S_2 S_3 & -C_1 C_2 S_3 -C_1 S_2 C_3 & -S_1 & C_1 C_2 a_3 C_3 -C_1 S_2 a_3 S_3 +C_1 a_2 C_2 +a_1 C_1\\ S_1 C_2 C_3 -S_1 S_2 S_3 & -S_1 C_2 S_3 -S_1 S_2 C_3 & C_1 & S_1 C_2 a_3 C_3 -S_1 S_2 a_3 S_3 +S_1 a_2 C_2 +a_1 S_1 \\ -S_2 C_3 -C_2 S_3 & S_2 S_3 -C_2 C_3 & 0 & -S_2 a_3 C_3 -C_2 a_3 S_3 -a_2 S_2 +d_1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Represent to $sin ( \theta_1 +\theta_2 ) = S_{12} ...$

And apply some trigonometric formulas :

$S_{12} = S_1 C_2 + C_1 S_2$ $C_{12} = C_1 C_2 - S_1 S_2$

So we can take more simple form :

$T_1^3 = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 C_{23} & -C_1 S_{23} & -S_1 & C_1 ( a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) \\ S_1 C_{23} & -S_1 S_{23} & C_1 & S_1 ( a_3 C_{23} +a_2 C_2 +a_1 ) \\ -S_{23} & -C_{23} & 0 & -( a_3 S_{23} +a_2 S_2 -d_1 ) \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix}$

Check Validity

When ED7220C is on HOME POSITION,

$q = \begin{bmatrix} \theta_1 \\ \theta_2 \\ \theta_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ -90 \\ 90 \end{bmatrix}$ $T_1^3 = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 C_{23} & -C_1 S_{23} & -S_1 & C_1 ( a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) \\ S_1 C_{23} & -S_1 S_{23} & C_1 & S_1 ( a_3 C_{23} +a_2 C_2 +a_1 ) \\ -S_{23} & -C_{23} & 0 & -( a_3 S_{23} +a_2 S_2 -d_1 ) \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & a_3 +a_1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & a_2 +d_1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 240 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & 358 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

The normal vector of Wrist is :

$\underline{n} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$

The orientation vector of Wrist is :

$\underline{o} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}$

The approach vector of Wrist is :

$\underline{a} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}$

And the position vector of Wrist is :

$\underline{p} = \begin{bmatrix} 240 \\ 0 \\ 358 \end{bmatrix}$

Total Transformation Matrix from $J_1$ to $J_5$ (Base to Tool)

$T_1^5 = \begin{bmatrix} \underline{n} & \underline{o} & \underline{a} & \underline{p} \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{n} = \begin{bmatrix} ( ( C_1 C_2 C_3 -C_1 S_2 S_3 ) C_4 + ( -C_1 C_2 S_3 -C_1 S_2 C_3 ) S_4 ) C_5 + S_1 S_5 \\ ( ( S_1 C_2 C_3 -S_1 S_2 S_3 ) C_4 + ( -S_1 C_2 S_3 -S_1 S_2 C_3 ) S_4 ) C_5 -C_1 S_5 \\ ( ( -S_2 C_3 -C_2 S_3 ) C_4 + ( S_2 S_3 -C_2 C_3 ) S_4 ) C_5 \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{o} = \begin{bmatrix} -( ( C_1 C_2 C_3 -C_1 S_2 S_3 ) C_4 + ( -C_1 C_2 S_3 -C_1 S_2 C_3 ) S_4 ) S_5 + S_1 C_5 \\ -( ( S_1 C_2 C_3 -S_1 S_2 S_3 ) C_4 + ( -S_1 C_2 S_3 -S_1 S_2 C_3 ) S_4 ) S_5 -C_1 C_5 \\ -( ( -S_2 C_3 -C_2 S_3 ) C_4 + ( S_2 S_3 -C_2 C_3 ) S_4 ) S_5 \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{a} = \begin{bmatrix} -( C_1 C_2 C_3 -C_1 S_2 S_3 ) S_4 + ( -C_1 C_2 S_3 - C_1 S_2 C_3 ) C_4 \\ -( S_1 C_2 C_3 -S_1 S_2 S_3 ) S_4 + ( -S_1 C_2 S_3 -S_1 S_2 C_3 ) C_4 \\ -( -S_2 C_3 -C_2 S_3 ) S_4 + ( S_2 S_3 - C_2 C_3 ) C_4 \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{p} = \begin{bmatrix} ( -(C-1 C_2 C_3 -C_1 S_2 S_3 ) S_4 + ( -C_1 C_2 S_3 -C_1 S_2 C_3 ) C_4 ) d_5 + C_1 C_2 a_3 C_3 -C_1 S_2 a_3 S_3 + C_1 a_2 C_2 + a_1 C_1 \\ ( -(S_1 C_2 C_3 -S_1 S_2 S_3 ) S_4 + ( -S_1 C_2 S_3 - S_1 S_2 C_3 )c_4 ) d_5 + S_1 C_2 a_3 C_3 - S_1 S_2 a_3 S_3 +S_1 a_2 C_2 +a_1 S_1 \\ ( -( -S_2 C_3 -C_2 S_3 ) S_4 +( S_2 S_3 -C_2 C_3 ) C_4 ) s_5 -S_2 a_3 C_3 - C_2 a_3 S_3 -a_2 S_2 +d_1 \end{bmatrix}$

And apply some trigonometric formulas :

$C_{123} = C_1 C_2 C_3 - S_1 S_2 C_3 - C_1 S_2 S_3 - S_1 C_2 S_3$ $S_{123} = S_1 C_2 C_3 + C_1 S_2 C_3 + C_1 C_2 S_3 - S_1 S_2 S_3$

So we can take more simple form :

$\underline{n} = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 C_{234} C_5 + S_1 S_5 \\ S_1 C_{234} C_5 - C_1 S_5 \\ -S_{234} C_5 \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{o} = \begin{bmatrix} -C_1 C_{234} S_5 + S_1 S_5 \\ -S_1 C_{234} S_5 - C_1 C_5 \\ S_{234} C_5 \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{a} = \begin{bmatrix} -C_1 S_{234} \\ -S_1 S_{234} \\ -C_{234} \end{bmatrix}$ $\underline{p} = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) \\ S_1 ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) \\ -d_5 C_{234} - a_3 S_{23} - a_2 S_2 + d_1 \end{bmatrix}$

Check Validity

When ED7220C is on HOME POSITION,

$q = \begin{bmatrix} \theta_1 \\ \theta_2 \\ \theta_3 \\ \theta_4 \\ \theta_5 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ -90 \\ 90 \\ 0 \\ -90 \end{bmatrix}$ $T_1^5 = \begin{bmatrix} \underline{n} & \underline{o} & \underline{a} & \underline{p} \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 & 240 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 & 218 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Inverse Kinematics (Exact Solution)

Tool configuration vector $\omega$

$\omega (q) = \begin{bmatrix} \omega_1 \\ \omega_2 \\ \omega_3 \\ \omega_4 \\ \omega_5 \\ \omega_6 \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \underline{p} \\ \underline{a} \cdot e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} } \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} C_1 ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 \\ S_1 ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 \\ -d_5 C_{234} - a_3 S_{23} -a_2 S_2 + d_1 \\ -C_1 S_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} } \\ -S_1 S_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} } \\ -C_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} } \end{bmatrix}$

NOTE : $e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} }$ is the roll information of tool.

Find $q_1$

Represent to $q_1 = \theta_1 ...$

$\frac{\omega_2}{\omega_1} = \frac { S_1 ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) } { C_1 ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) } = \frac{S_1}{C_1}$ $atan2 ( \omega_2 , \omega_1 ) = q_1$

Find $q_3$

$q_{234} = q_2 + q_3 + q_4$ : This is global tool pitch angle.

$C_1 \omega_4 + S_1 \omega_5 = -C_1^2 S_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} } - S_1^2 S_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} } = -S_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} }$ $\frac{\omega_5}{S_1} = -S_{234} e^{ \frac{q_5}{\pi} }$ $\therefore q_{234} = atan2 ( \frac{\omega_5}{S_1} , \omega_6 )$

( This is not a good solution, what if $S_1 = 0$ )

Define as ( to find $q_3$ ) :

$b_1 = C_1 \omega_1 + S_1 \omega_2 -a_1 + d_5 S_{234}$ $b_2 = d_1 - d_5 C_{234} - \omega_3$

$b_1$ and $b_2$ are all known, because we know $q_1$ and $q_{234}$ .

$b_1 = ( C_1^2 + S_1^2 ) ( -d_5 S_{234} + a_3 C_{23} + a_2 C_2 + a_1 ) -a_1 + d_5 S_234 = a_2 C_2 + a_3 C_{23}$ $b_2 = d_1 - d_5 C_{234} - ( -d_5 C_{234} - a_3 S_{23} - a_2 S_2 + d_1 ) = a_2 S_2 + a_3 + S_{23}$

Now use …

$b_1^2 + b_2^2 = ( a_2^2 C_2^2 + a_3^2 C_{23}^2 + 2 a_2 a_3 C_2 C_{23} ) + ( a_2^2 S_2^2 + a_3^2 S_{23}^2 + 2 a_2 a_3 S_2 S_{23} ) = a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 2 a_2 a_3 ( C_2 C_{23} + S_2 S_{23} ) = a_2^2 + a_3^2 + 2 a_2 a_3 C_3$

$q_3 = \pm acos ( \frac{b_1^2 + b_2^2 - a_2^2 - a_3^2}{2 a_2 a_3} )$ : 2 solutions by elbow up&down

Find $q_2$

Now we know $q_3$ , so we can solve

$b_1 = a_2 C_2 + a_3 C_{23} = a_2 C_2 + a_3 ( C_2 C_3 - S_2 S_3 )$ $b_2 = a_2 S_2 + a_3 + S_{23} = a_2 S_2 + a_3 ( S_2 C_3 + C_2 S_3 )$ $b_1 = ( a_2 + a_3 C_3 ) C_2 - ( a_3 S_3 ) S_2$ $b_2 = ( a_3 S_3 ) C_2 + ( a_2 + a_3 C_3 ) S_2$ $C_2 = \frac {( a_2 + a_3 C_3 ) b_1 + a_3 S_3 b_2} {( a_2 + a_3 C_3 )^2 + a_3^2 S_3^2}$ $S_2 = \frac {( a_2 + a_3 C_3 ) b_2 - a_3 S_3 b_1} {( a_2 + a_3 C_3 )^2 + a_3^2 S_3^2}$ $atan2 ( S_2 , C_2 ) = q_2$

Find $q_4$

Remember $q_{234} = q_2 + q_3 + q_4$ ,

$q_4 = q_{234} - q_2 - q_3$ : Tool pitch angle

Find $q_5$

$q_5 = \frac{\pi}{2} ln ( \omega_4^2 + \omega_5^2 + \omega_6^2 )$ : Tool roll angle
