Kinematics is the mapping of joint angles to the end effector position. It allows us to calculate how to control the robot arm.
The method of these kinematic calculations should generalise to other similar geometry (4 axis) robot arms.
For example:
The forward kinematic calculations are implemented in the kinematic_model.py
python module, in the forwardKinematics
function.
The inverse kinematic calculations are implemented in the kinematic_model.py
python module, in the inverseKinematics
function.
