The Question:
What is the position of the end of the
robotic arm?
Solution:
1. Geometric Approach
This might be the easiest solution for the simple situation. However, notice
that the angles are measured relative to the direction of the previous link. (The
first link is the exception. The angle is measured relative to it’s initial
position.) For robots with more links and whose arm extends into 3 dimensions
the geometry gets much more tedious.
2. Algebraic Approach
Involves coordinate transformations.
Example Problem:
You have a three link arm that starts out aligned in the x-axis. Each link
has lengths l1, l2, l3, respectively. You tell the first one to move by θ1 , and

From geometry, we can easily get
the following:

Forward KinematicTransformation
These relations can be represented in homogeneous matrix
form:
⎡ x2 ⎤ ⎡ 1 0 L2 ⎤ ⎡ x1⎤
⎢ y2 ⎥ = ⎢0 1 0 ⎥ ⋅ ⎢ y1⎥
⎣ 1 ⎦ ⎣0 0 1 ⎦ ⎣ 1 ⎦

X2 = ⎢ y 2 ⎥ T1 = ⎢0 1 0 ⎥ X1⎢y1⎥
⎣ 1⎦ ⎣0 0 1 ⎦ ⎣ 1⎦
If the end-effector point is denoted by (x, y), then:
x = x2
y = y2 - L3
Forward KinematicTransformation
therefore:
⎡ x ⎤ ⎡ 1 0 0 ⎤ ⎡ x2 ⎤
⎢ y ⎥ = ⎢0 1 −L2 ⎥ ⋅ ⎢ y2 ⎥
⎢⎣ 1 ⎥⎦ ⎣0 0 1 ⎦ ⎣ 1 ⎦

or TLL = T2 T1
and ⎡ 1 0 L2 ⎤
TLL = ⎢0 1 −L ⎥

y = y2 - L3 sin(α-θ)
