Dan, the kinematics of this robot type is quite trivial to solve, this image should help in figuring it out: http://imagebin.org/33869 The trick is in using substitution (ZR-plane) and putting the center of the world coordinate system in the rotation centers of the first and second joints.
Kinematics help: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/motion_kinematics.html Example kinematic files can be found in the repository: (includes a PUMA robot) http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cvs/emc2/src/emc/kinematics/ Some dimensions of the teachmover: http://www.questechzone.com/images/tmspecs.gif I should have the direct and inverse kinematic solution for that robot type somewhere, but it might be faster if you figure it out yourself. (instead of me searching for it) =) Regards, Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
