Question: The link length are defined as follows: l 0 = 0 . 3 5 m l 1 = 0 . 2 5 m l 2

The link length are defined as follows: l0=0.35ml1=0.25ml2=0.15ml3=0.2m
There are displacements between some of the joints: d1=0.03md2=0.04md3=0.04md4=0.025m
The picture above shows the robot in the configuration where all joint angles are 0. The direction of
positive rotation is shown about each joint.
The simulator will actually show one additional joint (joint 6) corresponding to the opening of the gripper.
This, however, is not relevant for the kinematic functions and can be ignored.
Determine and implement the inverse kinematic function for this Robot. [50 Points]
Derivation[35 points]
You are to derive and implement a partial inverse kinematic solution for the robot manipulator. To make
this problem tractable, we assume 5=0 and require that the X -axis of the tool frame is pointed straight
down (i.e. hat(x)T is parallel to -hat(z)B). Turn in a hand-written and scanned or typed solution.
HINT: To determine this inverse kinematics you should decompose the problem. Draw the system from
above and from the side for angles other than i=0. I recommend an "elbow up" configuration. 1) You
can determine 1 without considering the other joints using trigonometry. 2) Simplify solving for
2,3,4 by first moving up the wrist frame (i.e. to where {4} is in my FK solution. Attached are hints and the figure.
The link length are defined as follows: l 0 = 0 .
