Covers the first few chapters of the textbook including lectures. A good overview of the basics of robotics. Around 2 examples for each chapter and lecture. Covers DH Tables, Velocity & Trajectory, Workspaces.
Symbolic Representation of Manipulators (Robots)
Manipulators have links that are connected to joints to form a kinematic chain
Joints →
usually rotary or linear
" "
Revolute Joint → Allows relative rotation between two links (R)
"
Prismatic Joint → Allows a linear relative motion between two links (P)
"
A 3- link arm with 3
rotary joints would be RRB
Joint Variables → ④ for Revolute Joint (d) for Prismatic Joint
