this really saved me with my final year project. we were stuck at this part trying to figure out how it's done. I watched this video just once and there it is, the solution to our problem. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL EXPLANATION...
I was literally struggling for almost 1 week with inverse kinematics of this articulated manipulator. These videos and playlist of yours are a blessing for me. Thank you soo much!!
you are an angel. I'm about to cry!!! I am doing a 5 dof arm and no one at school was able to help me solve the inverse kinematics of my arm. I really love your videos. Now i gotta add a camera for CV. Thank you so much! I'll make sure to reference your work.
God thankyou, you are the best. I really appreciate the context in every explanation because most people just jump right in which was leaving me confused and frustrated. Thankyou so much.
Hello, thank you for the video and explanation, though I do have a question. I the robotic arm's end effector is at the very top(like the links are all lined up in the Z axis). Meaning the coordinates are X=0, Y=0, and Z=a1+a2+a3... according to the first equation theta1=arctan(Y/X)=arctan(0/0).... won't the answer be undefined? So what is the work around for that? I am programming my robotic arm using 3 stepper motors with similar arm config to your drawing. and that I am having a problem with the output of the equation because it is undefined. It outputs "nan"
Oh, RUclips suggested the video I was looking for. You have a video not attached to course 1 or 2 playlist which presented the IK solution for articulated. So, my question is answered. Maybe consider attaching it to Course #1, just before sensors? Great Video !!
hey, i have a question. i have a 6 dof articulated manipulator. basically i have a servo to control the leaning of the end effector and another servo to control its orientation. should i continue doing the math for theses joints as well? ( theta 4 theta 5 etc..)
There is a way to get only positive th1 th2 and th3 ? Because of the physical constrains the Negative Th2 that produced is not useable. Because x=0.2 y=0.2 z=0.3 gives th1= 45 th2=-60 th3 = 81 . But i can not change the value th2 with the theoreme that adds 180 degrees . Because changes the desired coordinates.
Hello, I have a problem regarding the equations: for some reason when I try to calculate theta2 and theta3 I get complex numbers. I'm using Wolfram Mathematica for my calculations as debugging before I import them into C code. What could that problem be? I tried to only use the real part of the complex numbers but it wasn't true for all X,Y,Z positions. Any suggestions? There is also a case where X will be zero causing theta 1 to be indeterminable (Y / X) = (L / 0); How is that to be handled? when X is 0 the angle could be 90 or -90 in my case.. should I add a hardware component to help with such a case (sensors that tell if I'm at 90/-90 degrees) or is there a mathematical solution for such?
Most often, complex numbers result when the (X,Y,Z) position you have specified is outside of the workspace of the manipulator. In other words, the manipulator "can't reach" the position given the length and configuration of the arm. As for the case where X is 0, there are a couple of possible solutions. The easiest, I think, is just to remember that we will be implementing these equations in the code that we are using to control the manipulator. We could just put an 'if' statement in that says 'if X is equal to 0, then ...' The thing that comes after "then" could be a different equation to calculate the angles (the equations we derive for inverse kinematics are generally not unique), or it could just be a lookup table if there are only a few specific points (singularities) where the equation doesn't work.
You mention in one video that we can obtain equations for X,Y and Z from the final homogenous transformation matrix and extracting the displacement vector from it, and that we can solve joint variables backwards from that although it makes a set of 3 simultaneous equations that are obviously complicated to solve, and this method is easier. I'm curious to know if it's possible to solve the joint variables from the displacement vector with python and let the code do the work?
I think you can find the other configuration's angles like so: theta 2 prime = 90° - theta 2; theta 3 prime = - theta 3. Therefore, it does not differ much. They are almost identical
It comes from looking at the manipulator from the "top view". I think I explained it in the videos on this page: www.robogrok.com/1-1-6_Inverse_Kinematics_of_a_SCARA_Manipulator.php
Hello mam, the value of phi 1 and phi 3 is coming more than one inside the cosinverse function for any value of a1,a2,a3,r1,r2,r3 how can this be possible it's giving error at time of calculation.... Please tell me and guide me for the correction

When your manipulator has more than 3 degrees of freedom (dof), we generally start by assuming that the first 3 dof are responsible for positioning the end-effector, and any additional dof are responsible for setting the rotation, or orientation, of the end-effector. In my classes, we cover this in the second semester, to begin again in January 2018. I'll be posting new videos on these topics throughout December in preparation for the next class. Stay tuned, or visit my website www.robogrok.com to follow the addition of new content.
Good morning Angela, your videos are great tools for everybody and I thank you so much. I have a question? I'm using dynamixel servos, with inverse kinematic of articulated manipulator I am experiencing a problem when my result are negative numbers how do I work around that? also these servos are 300 degrees rotation. thank you
@@andreamastrorilli2927 The mathematics solves the position for X= 0.2 Y=0.2 Z=0.3 gives θ1=45 θ2=-60 θ3=81 degrees. The problem is that motor and the Links can't reach -60 degrees in real application.
@@andreamastrorilli2927 At real application you cant reach negative value because of physical constrains. For example x=0.2 y=0.2 z=0.3 gives as answer th1=45 th2=-60 th3=81. This point of view that you suggest is not right because you can't reach the x y z desired coordinates. I would like to find answer too to this problem.

Respected Angela Sodemann
Will you please upload the lecture of Matlab programming related to trajectory of the robot and calculation of Arm Matrix???
great explanation
In equation 9 it should be pi*2 - ø3
Would the equations for elbow down differ much from the elbow up configuration?
I think you can find the other configuration's angles like so:
theta 2 prime = 90° - theta 2;
theta 3 prime = - theta 3.
Therefore, it does not differ much. They are almost identical
Can you please explain to me how you derived theta 1 inverse tan y/x at roughly 9 minutes into the video. Thank you!

So good
when i try to find theta value i get theta2 in 'negative' how to feed that value to servo to get perfect position
thank you
just set the servo 90 degrees back and add 90 degrees to your equation, something like this = servo02.write(int(90+(Theta2 *180/PI)));
...assuming your servo has 180 degrees range, if it has 360 just do the same using a correction of 180 instead of 90
