OR
12 Illustrate the working of typical hydraulic actuator. II L2
7
Enumerate the types of end effector & gripper
13 mechanisms with simple sketches
7 III L2
OR
With the help of neat sketches explain in detail about all
14 the configurations of Robot.
7 III L2
Frame {2} is rotated with respect to frame {1}
about x axis by an angle of [Link] position of the
origin of frame {2} as seen from frame 1 is
1
D2 = [7.0 5.0 7.0 ]T .Obtain the transformation

matrix 1T2, which describes frame{2} relative to
frame{1}. Also find the description of point P in
frame {1} if 2P = [2.0 4.0 6.0]T
OR
Determine the new location of a Point P in space,
if it is rotated by an angle 450 about z axis and
then translated by -1 unit along x axis and -2 units
16 7 IV L3
along z axis. Pictorially represent the
transformation for this vector transformation and
hence show the transformation of frames.
