Inverse Kinematics Robot Arm
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2010 3:41 pm
Inverse Kinematics is the calculation of the required angles for a robot arm in order to reach a given target.
This is very useful in robotics as you usually know where you want the arm to go to but you don’t know the angles that will active this position.
In this example we have made a robot arm with two links and a fixed base. When you click on the screen with the mouse you tell the system where you want the end of the arm to go and the IK module calculates the exact angles and moves the arm into position. There is also an option using two PID modules to move the arm gradually into position.
