[@jamesjunior2421]

First of all, thank you very much for your awesome videos. They've already helped me a lot. Secondly: at 24:25, when finding the value for the third d, shouldn't the signal be negative since the distance between frames 3 and 4 will be decreasing when the prismatic motion happens? And I wonder if the same shouldn't happen between frames 2 and 3. Thank you once more.

[@followthewhiterabbit7559]

20:35, When rotating around the x2 axis to match the frames 1 and 2, both positive and negative 180 degrees seems to indicate the same location. Would it be a problem to write -180 degrees?

No, it's not a problem. You will get the same answer with 180 and -180

[@ikbeneenpop1]

21:36 isn't the distance in the negative direction? since the positive x-axis is to the right and frame 0 is to the left? for a2

[@asodemann3]

No, it is positive. Let me try to explain why: in each row of the table, we are writing the distance FROM the n-1 frame TO the n frame in the direction of a particular axis. And, 'n' is the number in the first column of the table. So, when we are writing the value of r in the first row of the table (at 21:36), n=1 so we are thinking to ourselves, "What is the distance FROM frame 0 TO frame 1, measured in the X1 direction?" The distance FROM frame 0 TO frame 1 is going left-to-right (try drawing an arrow that points from the center of frame 0 to the center of frame 1. It points up and to the right.). Since X1 is also pointing to the right, that's why the value of r here is positive.

i think when we finding r's at SCARA manipulator, negative (-) sign should be added a2 and a3 21:46

[@asodemann3]

Positive a2 and a3 are correct here, but I definitely understand why this is confusing. Let me try to explain: First, draw an arrow (vector) going FROM the center of the 0 frame TO the center of the 1 frame. When you look at the component of this vector that is in the X1 direction, that arrow will have a magnitude of a2, and it will be pointing to the right, in the SAME direction as X1. That's why a2 should be positive here. If that vector component was pointing in the OPPOSITE direction as X1, then it would be negative. For example, suppose we had drawn X1 to the left instead of to the right (and Y1 coming out of the page). In that case, the direction of X1 would be opposite the direction of the displacement FROM the center of frame 0 TO the center of frame 1, and so in that case the a2 would be negative.

[@adiq94]

Hi, great series of videos, I wish every teacher had such understanding of topic and ability to share it in so easily digestible form. I have a question about 27:30 , how exactly do we convert DH parameter table to HTM? Does this matrix always looks the same?

[@asodemann3]

Yes, the HTM is the same always; the only thing that changes is the values of the parameters. Each row of the table produces one matrix, which you then multiply together at the end. For example, suppose you have a manipulator with two joint. You will have a table with two rows. Get H0_1 by plugging in the values from the first row of the table, then get H1_2 by plugging in the values from the second row, then get H0_2 by multiplying H0_1*H1_2.

[@DeepakKumarV]

Hello Angela, Wonderfully illustrated and explained videos. I have a question, when drawing the kinematic diagram, should we include the end effector joints too, or just calculate the distance to the centre of end effector? Off topic: Have you considered using ROS for programming robots and simulation?

[@heirngoie840]

Hi Angela Thx for Charing this wonderful knowledge with us.

how do you assign frames to different joints?

[@engimathtab2472]

Your lecture and explanation is superb. one question, as we are taking anticlockwise positive, isn't it -90 in first example explaining alpha. Hoping for your reply.

[@asodemann3]

Alpha is the rotation around the X axis. For the first row, take your right hand and put your thumb in the direction of X1, which is pointing to the right. You should notice that your fingers are curling towards you. Now, Z0 is pointing up, but we need to get it to point in the same direction as Z1, which is pointing towards us. So, the direction we rotate the 0 frame is towards us, which is the same direction our fingers curl. Another way to think of it is to imagine yourself standing and looking at the frames from the right, so that X1 is pointing directly at you. When you rotate the 0 frame, which direction do you rotate it to get Z0 to match Z1? You rotate it counter-clockwise, which is positive.

[@engimathtab2472]

@@asodemann3 best. Cleared all the way. ZO has to be twisted in order to get into direction of z1. I was changing z1. Thanks a lot

[@followthewhiterabbit7559]

@@asodemann3 Then we're matching the Zn-1 frame to the Zn frame and not the other way round ??? I imagined looking from both X1 and X0 to the YZ plane, respectively. When we described the alpha, we defined it so as to match the frames. This might confuse some people because there are two ways to match these two frames, one having 90 degrees of rotation around x and the other having -90 degrees. Do we need to match from the preceding frame to the next frame? Thanks for all the effort you put in to shed a light on the Robotics.

[@Sibasish07]

It should be positive because you are rotating it clockwise, you also need to align the Y1 with Y2. I hope this helps

[@jont7207]

Hi Angela, Just a question on the links on the mini-quiz on mark 16:05. does the link between a2 and a3 (the z-height) doesnt have to be included in the diagram? In the previous videos (kzbin.info/www/bejne/paSmXpareN2hZ7cm54s) this z-height seems to have been considered and included... Great videos by the way... Thanks!

[@asodemann3]

It depends upon the actual (physical) manipulator that the drawing was made from. Sometimes, we draw in links that aren't phyisically in the manipulator just to make it easier to draw. In this case, we can either label the link and later set the value of the variable to zero, or we can skip labeling it altogether. In this example, I didn't give the students the physical manipulator, I just gave them the drawing (the kinematic diagram). I had already decided to skip labeling that link that was not physically present in the manipulator.

[@jont7207]

Awesome! I was drawing up the kinematic diagram from the joints myself when I found out I had an extra link. Thanks for the videos again and Happy new year! Edit: I just realized you mentioned about this link on the latter part of the video. I commented too soon :D

[@nemanjatrivic9505]

I dont understand why do we in the first example add Theta1 and Theta2 in the Theta column if the x axis are already lined up. Is it always the case if the x axis are lined up? Sorry for writing after four years.

[@asodemann3]

The 'Theta' there accounts for the joint angle. In other words, the values of Theta1, Theta2, and so on are all 0 as the kinematic diagram is drawn. And, in the kinematic diagram, the X axes are all lined up. But, try to imagine what will happen as Theta1 changes value. As that first joint moves, X1 will change direction so that it is no longer lined up with X0. For example, when Theta1 is 90 degrees, X1 will line up with Y0, not X0. Having Theta1 in the table in the Theta column is what accounts for this.

[@violet4506]

God bless you 🙏🏻💜

[@deepakchandirasekar7857]

Hi Angela! Your videos have been amazing and have really helped me get a grasp on this topic. Thank you! I just have a small doubt. For the parameter 'd' in row 1 (which is the distance in the Xn direction ) we found that the distance is a2. But as the joint variable theta1 rotates, the distance decreases in the Xn direction to a2cos(theta1). So shouldnt the parameter be written as a2cos(theta1) instead of a2? The same doubt arises for the value r in row 2 also. Kindly help me resolve this

[@asodemann3]

Yes; you might want to check out my website, www.robogrok.com. It organizes the content as a sequence of lessons, like a class.

[@lad7534]

I understood most of it, just not why the first rotation is theta 1 when both coordinates are in the same position?

[@asodemann3]

Theta 1 is the 'joint variable' - it represents how much that joint has turned as the robot moves around. So, even though the two frames are in the same position now (in the picture), they will not be later on when the robot has moved. Including the joint variables in our equations insures that our equations will still be true and valid no matter how the robot moves.

[@gauravsaini9787]

Can you tell which software you use?

[@asodemann3]

Sorry - which software for what? Here are some software packages I use for different things: I use Camtasia for making videos. I use Python for doing calculations and machine vision (open cv with Python). I use PSoC Creator to program microcontrollers to control the robot itself.

[@michaeljulian5958]

What if I have to rotate 2 axis to match Xn and Xn-1?

[@nemanjatrivic9505]

When you find Theta and Alpha all the axis rotations will match. Just try it out.

hello ma'am, i still dont understand for the theta part. why there's still theta for row 1 , and for the row 3 theta = 0, when the frame 0 -> frame 1 and frame 2->frame 3 has the same direction? (example no.2) REPLY

[@asodemann3]

Hi Nadia, The theta parameter needs to include two things which we add together: (1) rotation around Zn-1 needed to get Xn-1 to point in the same direction as Xn and (2) rotation around Zn-1 due to the joint. In the first row, X0 already is in the same direction as X1, so there is 0 theta component due to (1). But, the joint is a rotational joint that rotates Theta1 amount around Z0. So, there is Theta1 amount of rotation due to (2). Thus, the theta parameter for the first row is 0+Theta1 or just Theta1. In the second row, X1 already is in the same direction as X2, so there is 0 theta component due to (1). But, the joint is a rotational joint that rotates Theta2 amount around Z1. So, there is Theta2 amount of rotation due to (2). Thus, the theta parameter for the second row is 0+Theta2 or just Theta2. In the third row, X2 already is in the same direction as X3, so there is 0 theta component due to (1). Also, the joint is a prismatic joint that has only linear motion, no rotational motion. So, there is 0 theta component due to (2). Thus, the theta parameter for the third row is 0+0 or just 0.

[@yourstruly0101]

Hello Ma'am, thank you for replying my question :). I'm sorry but i still have questions. What i get from the explanation for point (2) is that every cylinder shape must have rotation around the Z-axis. Does it right ma'am? And If i have a quiz, does the rotation around the Z-axis will be given along with the problem as a hint to solve the problem (like blue arrow drawing) or we have to determine by ourselves?

[@asodemann3]

Yes, the 'cylinder shape' is a revolute axis, like a dc motor. So, every one has a joint variable that is rotational. Have you watched the other videos that come before this one in this playlist? If not, it may help you to do that. I have no way of knowing what your quizzes will cover, unless you are in my class. You need to ask your own teacher/professor what your quizzes will cover.
