ROBOT KINEMATICS: Denavit Hartenberg: Eem 343 Robotics

The document discusses frame transformations between adjacent frames in a robot arm using the Denavit-Hartenberg convention. It describes the four elementary transformations needed to relate one frame to the next: rotating about the Z axis, translating along the Z axis, translating along the X axis, and rotating about the X axis. It presents the homogeneous transformation matrix that expresses the position and orientation of one frame in terms of the previous frame using these transformations. It also discusses how forward kinematics uses the chain product of these transformation matrices to determine the end effector position from the joint variables.

Frame transformation

T RANSFORMATION BETWEEN FRAME i − 1 AND i

Four successive elementary transformations are required to relate the


i-th coordinate frame to the (i-1)-th coordinate frame:
◮ Rotate about the Zi−1 axis an angle of θi to align the Xi−1 axis with the
Xi axis.
◮ Translate along the Zi−1 axis a distance of di , to bring Xi−1 and Xi
axes into coincidence.
◮ Translate along the Xi axis a distance of ai to bring the two origins
Oi−1 and Oi as well as the X axis into coincidence.
◮ Rotate about the Xi axis an angle of ai ( in the right-handed sense), to
bring the two coordinates into coincidence.

Frame transformation

D-H TRANSFORMATION MATRIX FOR ADJACENT


COORDINATE FRAMES i AND i − 1.

◮ The position and orientation of the i-th frame coordinate can be


expressed in the (i-1)th frame by the following homogeneous
transformation matrix:
i−1
Ti = T(zi−1 , di )R(zi−1 , θi )T(xi , ai )R(xi , αi ) (1)

 
Cθi −Cαi Sθi Sαi Sθi ai Cθi
 Sθi Cαi Cθi −Sαi Cθi ai Sθi 
=⇒i−1 Ti = 
  (2)
0 Sαi Cαi di 
0 0 0 1
note that the subscript denotes the current frame whilst the superscript denotes the
reference frame
