Why do we generally prefer DH parameters over other kinematic representations of robot arms?
I have been doing a lot of reading up on kinematic calibration and here is what I found:
From [1]:
A kinematic model should meet three basic requirements for
kinematic-parameter identification:

Wrong forward-kinematic after calculating from DH-parameters
Your professor has made an error, but he or she is only human.
The upper-left 3x3 matrix must be an orthonormal rotation matrix. Every column of that must have a unit norm. The second column $[0, 1,...

How can Denavit-Hartenberg representation with only 4 variables describe rototranslations with 6 DOF?
In general you need 6 parameters to describe the position and orientation of any joint with respect to a link coordinate frame. The DH parameterisation includes 2 constraints so only 4 parameters ...

DH-Parameters for Forward Kinematics for Translatory Motion only
In DH, the Z axis always goes along the direction of variability. For a rotational (revolute) joint, that means Z is the axis of rotation. For a translational joint (prismatic) the Z axis is in the ...
