Question: The inverse kinematic problem at the position level for a three - link robot is to find the joint angles 1 , 2 and 3

The inverse kinematic problem at the position level for a three-link robot is to find the joint angles 1,2 and 3 that allow the end-effector (P) at the third link to be at a specified point characterized by the coordinates (x,y,), where (x,y) is the Cartesian position and the angle of the end-effector axis with respect to the x-axis. In this example, we assume that the link lengths are a1=6,a2=5 and a3=4(cm). The first link makes an angle 1 with the horizontal axis, the second link makes an angle 2 with the direction defined by the first link, and the third link makes an angle 3 with the direction defined by the second link as depicted in Fig. 1.
(1)-(20 pts) By following the schematic representation illustrated in Fig. I, give the expression of the coordinates (x,y,) as a function of the joint angles 1,2 and 3.
(2)-(20 pts) Determine the Jacobian of the system of three equations found in (1).
(3)-(20pts) Give the conditions under which the Jacobian of the robot is singular. Give a physical interpretation of the singularity conditions of the robot.
(4)-(40 pts) We wish to find the angles so that the arm will move to the position (x,y)=(10,4)(cm) with an orientation =0.4(rad), while starting with initial joint angles of 1=0.5,2=0.7 and 3=0.6(rad). Use the Newton-Raphson formula to find the values of the requested joint angles 1,2 and 3. To proceed, write a sub-program implementing the Newton-Raphson algorithm. Perform up to six iterations or until obtaining an estimated error ||||=|1|2+|2|2+|3|22 less than 0.001
