Prev: Rigid Body Motion Chapter 3 - Manipulator Kinematics Next: Robot Dynamics and Control

The kinematics of a robot manipulator describes the relationship between the motion of the joints of the manipulator and the resulting motion of the rigid bodies which form the robot. This chapter gives a description of the kinematics for a general <math>n</math> degree of freedom, open-chain robot manipulator using the tools presented in Template:Ch. We also present a brief treatment of redundant and parallel manipulators using this same framework.
