Study Notes
Configuration Space in Robotics
- Refers to the set of all possible positions and orientations of a robot's joints and links.
- Each point in the configuration space represents a unique configuration of the robot.
Degrees of Freedom in Robotics
- Indicates the number of independent movements a robot can make.
- Each joint typically contributes to one degree of freedom.
Joint Types Not Allowed in Typical Robots
- Non-conventional joints, such as those exhibiting infinite or highly restricted movement, are typically avoided.
- Examples include joints that can rotate freely in all directions without limits.
Grubler's Formula
- A mathematical formula used to calculate the degrees of freedom in a mechanical system.
- Commonly expressed as DOF = 3(L - 1) - 2J - H, where L is the number of links, J is the number of joints, and H is the number of higher pairs.
Planar Four-Bar Linkage
- A simple mechanical system consisting of four links connected in a loop by four joints that allow rotation.
- It is used to convert rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa.
Degrees of Freedom of a Four-Bar Linkage According to Gruebler's Formula
- Based on Gruebler's formula, a four-bar linkage typically has one degree of freedom.
- This implies that the system can perform one independent motion among its components.
