5 Cartesian Coordinate System
5.1 Joint Coordinate System
The joint coordinate system is a coordinate system based on the rotation joints of the robot arm. The white dotted lines in the figure below represent the rotation axes of each joint, the red arrows represent the rotation directions of the joints, and q1-q6 represent the 1-6 joint coordinate systems.
5.2 Base Coordinate System
The base coordinate system is a coordinate system fixed at the bottom of the robot arm. Its origin and coordinate axis directions are determined when the kinematic algorithm is modeled. Generally, the origin is set at the center point of the base.
5.3 Tool Coordinate System
The tool coordinate system is a coordinate system fixed at the end of the robot arm. Its origin and coordinate axis direction are determined during kinematic algorithm modeling. Generally, the origin is set at the center point of the flange at the end of the robot arm.
5.4 Kinematic model
The figure below shows the kinematic model of the robot arm. The position shown is the zero point on the algorithm model
5.4.1 Zero point calibration
In the kinematic model, the actual zero point has some offset on joints 2 and 3. Considering the convenience of calibration, users can align the scale line when using zero point calibration, without aligning the actual zero point on the model.
5.4.2 MDH parameters
DH parameters are used to describe the relative relationship between adjacent links:
a_i: along x_i: the distance from z_i to z_i+1
alpha_i: around x_i: from z_i to z_i+1
d_i: represents the distance from x_i-1 to x_i along z_i
θ_i: around z_i: the angle from x_i-1 to x_i
5.4.3 MDH parameter list
| Joint | alpha_i-1 | a_i-1 | d | theta | offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 154 | theta_1 | 0 |
| 2 | -PI/2 | 0 | 0 | theta_2 | -PI/2 |
| 3 | 0 | 308.3 | 0 | theta_3 | 0 |
| 4 | -PI/2 | 0 | 327.9 | theta_4 | 0 |
| 5 | PI/2 | 0 | 0 | theta_5 | 0 |
| 6 | -PI/2 | 0 | 131.3 | theta_6 | PI |
