I need to specify the pose for a 5 dof robot arm in order to calculate the inverse kinematics. Assuming I worked out the correct inverse kinematics solution for joint variables $q_{1} \dots q_{5}$, I now want to specify a (4x4) homogeneous transformation matrix from which get 3 position coordinates of the EE and the angle $\phi$ of $z_{5}$ from horizontal plane $x_{0}-y_{0}$ to use them for inverse kinematics. The kinematic scheme is the following: enter image description here I don't really care about the orientation $\phi = q_{2}+q_{3}+q_{4}$ but I I need to specify it because of the form of the IK equations. I'm using Peter Corke Matlab Robotics Toolbox. Please give me some help, thank you

Edit: picture showing angle $\phi$ enter image description here

If I choose three coordinates x,y,z that the robot can reach, I'd like to reach that position without caring about orientation $\phi$. For one point maybe $\phi$ can be computed, but for a trajectory?

  • $\begingroup$ Your question is vague. Do you need to compute the forward kinematics? If so, which method (i.e. DH, product of exponentials, dual quaternion,...,etc). Also, what is $\phi = q_2+q_3+q_4$? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @CroCo hi, look at the second picture I attached. This is a 3-link planar arm which corresponds to joints 2,3,4 of my robot, first picture. $\phi$ should be clear now. I need to impose the value of $\phi$ because it's used in the analytical solution of IK to solve for $q_{4}$ once I calculated $q_{2}$ and $q_{3}$ $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hi @newby_prog This looks like a homework question, and on stack exchange, questions asking for homework help must include a summary of the work you've done so far to solve/understand the problem, and a description of the difficulty you are having solving/understanding it. Please edit your question to add this information and take a look at How to Ask and tour for more information on how stack exchange works. For advice on how to write a good question, see the Robotics question checklist. $\endgroup$
