（一）題目來(lái)源： 本題目來(lái)源于生產(chǎn)實(shí)際，手工電弧焊接效率低，操作環(huán)境差，而且對(duì)操作員技術(shù)熟練程度要求較高，因此采用機(jī)器人技術(shù)，實(shí)現(xiàn)焊接生產(chǎn)操作的柔性自動(dòng)化，以提高生產(chǎn)效率。而且,現(xiàn)在對(duì)許多構(gòu)件的焊接精度和速度等提出越來(lái)越高的要求,一般工人已難以勝任這一工作；此外,焊接時(shí)的火花及煙霧等,對(duì)人體造成危害,因此,焊接過(guò)程的完全自動(dòng)化已成為重要的研究課題。其中,十分重要的就是要應(yīng)用焊接機(jī)器人。 （二）題目研究的主要內(nèi)容： 設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)用于焊接的關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人，進(jìn)行機(jī)器人的總體方案設(shè)計(jì)、腰結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計(jì)及其零件設(shè)計(jì)。 關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人的機(jī)械本體部分一般為由各種關(guān)節(jié)串接起若干連桿組成的開(kāi)鏈?zhǔn)綑C(jī)構(gòu)。由于結(jié)構(gòu)上的原因，其關(guān)節(jié)通常只有轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)型和移動(dòng)型。關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人主要特點(diǎn)是模仿人類腰部到手臂的基本結(jié)構(gòu)，因此本體結(jié)構(gòu)通常包括關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人的機(jī)座結(jié)構(gòu)及腰部關(guān)節(jié)轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)裝置、手腕結(jié)構(gòu)及手腕關(guān)節(jié)轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)裝置和末端執(zhí)行器。我所做的課題偏重與機(jī)座和腰部的結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計(jì)。 弧焊機(jī)器人多采用占地面積小，動(dòng)作范圍較大的關(guān)節(jié)型操作機(jī)，其靈活性大，能以最佳狀態(tài)決定焊槍的位置。 （三）國(guó)內(nèi)外現(xiàn)狀綜述： 目前，對(duì)機(jī)器人技術(shù)的發(fā)展有最重要影響的國(guó)家是日本和美國(guó)。美國(guó)在機(jī)器人技術(shù)的綜合性水平上仍處于領(lǐng)先地位，日本生產(chǎn)的機(jī)器人數(shù)量和種類則居世界首位。我國(guó)發(fā)展機(jī)器人技術(shù)起步于20世紀(jì)70年代末。1995年9月，6000m水下機(jī)器人試驗(yàn)成功.近年來(lái),在步行機(jī)器人、精密裝配機(jī)器人及多自由度關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人研制等前沿領(lǐng)域內(nèi)逐步縮短與世界水平的差距。 自從第一臺(tái)工業(yè)機(jī)器人問(wèn)世以來(lái)，機(jī)器人的應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域從汽車工業(yè)逐漸向其他行業(yè)滲透，機(jī)器人的種類也從操作手逐漸衍生出各種各樣的機(jī)器人，如今機(jī)器人已經(jīng)深入到人類生活的方方面面。人類科技的進(jìn)步、文明的發(fā)展已經(jīng)和機(jī)器人產(chǎn)生了密切的關(guān)系。人類社會(huì)的發(fā)展已經(jīng)離不開(kāi)機(jī)器人技術(shù)，而機(jī)器人技術(shù)的進(jìn)步必然對(duì)推動(dòng)科技發(fā)展產(chǎn)生不可忽視的作用。當(dāng)前和今后的機(jī)器人技術(shù)正逐漸向著具有行走能力、對(duì)環(huán)境的自主性強(qiáng)、具有多種感覺(jué)能力的方向發(fā)展。機(jī)器人也正在逐漸具有智能。美國(guó)貝爾科爾公司已成功地將神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)裝配在芯片上，其智能分析速度比普通計(jì)算機(jī)要快數(shù)千倍，能更好地完成識(shí)別語(yǔ)言和圖像處理等工作。 華中理工大學(xué)的熊臘森、彭振國(guó)、陳一堅(jiān)和曹東杰教授合著的一篇論文，題為《IR761/125型點(diǎn)焊機(jī)器人在平頭駕駛室總裝生產(chǎn)線上的應(yīng)用》，它主要介紹了IR761/125型點(diǎn)焊機(jī)器人的機(jī)械結(jié)構(gòu)和控制系統(tǒng)；重點(diǎn)討論了該機(jī)器人的焊接生產(chǎn)應(yīng)用；提出了機(jī)器人的使用維護(hù)和故障處理建議。 南京機(jī)械?？茖W(xué)校的徐錦康、邵群濤和劉啟芬合著的論文《XZ-I型弧焊機(jī)器人》主要介紹了XZ-I型機(jī)器人操作機(jī)結(jié)構(gòu)和機(jī)構(gòu)設(shè)計(jì)，位置交流伺服控制系統(tǒng)及計(jì)算機(jī)控制軟件特點(diǎn)，給出了主要算法。 二、本題目擬解決的問(wèn)題 焊接機(jī)器人具有6個(gè)自由度：① 腰關(guān)節(jié)回轉(zhuǎn)；② 臂關(guān)節(jié)俯仰；③ 肘關(guān)節(jié)俯仰；④ 腕關(guān)節(jié)仰腕；⑤ 擺腕；⑥旋腕。其中要詳細(xì)地設(shè)計(jì)機(jī)器人基座和腰部的結(jié)構(gòu)。整體機(jī)器人要實(shí)現(xiàn)腕部最大負(fù)荷6kg，最大速度2m/s，最大工作空間半徑1500mm 。 在設(shè)計(jì)過(guò)程中要考慮到很多問(wèn)題：① 機(jī)器人的六個(gè)關(guān)節(jié)采用何種驅(qū)動(dòng)器；② 傳動(dòng)比的選擇要合理；③ 同一軸上的軸承要保證很好的同軸度；④基座采用何種材料如何制造；⑤ 立柱與大臂如何聯(lián)接；⑥ 要有足夠大的安裝基面，以保證機(jī)器人工作時(shí)的穩(wěn)定性；⑦ 腰座承受機(jī)器人全部重量和工作載荷，應(yīng)保證足夠的強(qiáng)度、剛度和承載能力；⑧ 腰座軸系及傳動(dòng)鏈的精度對(duì)末端執(zhí)行器的運(yùn)行精度影響最大。因此腰座與手臂的聯(lián)接要有可靠的定位基準(zhǔn)面。 三、 解決方案及預(yù)期效果 （一）解決方案： 機(jī)器人大體采用PUMA型 1. 操作機(jī)的驅(qū)動(dòng)系統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)； 關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人本體驅(qū)動(dòng)系統(tǒng)包括驅(qū)動(dòng)器和傳動(dòng)機(jī)構(gòu)，它們常和執(zhí)行機(jī)構(gòu)聯(lián)成一體，驅(qū)動(dòng)臂桿和載荷完成指定的運(yùn)動(dòng)。常用的驅(qū)動(dòng)器有電機(jī)和液壓、氣動(dòng)驅(qū)動(dòng)裝置等。其中采用電機(jī)驅(qū)動(dòng)是最常用的驅(qū)動(dòng)方式。電極驅(qū)動(dòng)具有精度高，可靠性好，能以較大的變速范圍滿足機(jī)器人應(yīng)用要求等特點(diǎn)。所以在這次設(shè)計(jì)中我選擇了直流電機(jī)作為驅(qū)動(dòng)器。 2. 速度和位置檢測(cè)； 3. 伺服控制系統(tǒng)選擇； 4. 工作空間的確定； 5. 機(jī)器人本體結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計(jì)； ①內(nèi)部鋁鑄件形狀復(fù)雜，既用作內(nèi)部齒輪安裝殼體與軸的支承座，又兼作承力骨架，傳遞集中載荷。這樣不僅節(jié)省材料，減少加工量，又使整體質(zhì)量減輕。手臂外壁與鑄件骨架采用膠接，使連接件減少，工藝簡(jiǎn)單，減輕了質(zhì)量。 ② 軸承外形環(huán)定位簡(jiǎn)單。一般在無(wú)軸向載荷處，載荷外環(huán)采用端面打沖定位的方法。 ③ 采用薄壁軸承與滑動(dòng)銅襯套，以減少結(jié)構(gòu)尺寸，減輕質(zhì)量。 ④ 有些小尺寸齒輪與軸加工成一體，減少連接件，增加了傳遞剛度。 ⑤ 大、小臂，手腕部結(jié)構(gòu)密度大，很少有多余空隙。如電機(jī)與臂的外壁僅有0.5mm間隙，手腕內(nèi)部齒輪傳動(dòng)安排亦是緊密無(wú)間。這樣使總的尺寸減少，質(zhì)量減少。 ⑥ 工作范圍大，適應(yīng)性廣。PUMA除了自身立柱所占空間以外，它的工作空間幾乎是他的長(zhǎng)臂所能達(dá)到的全球空間。再加之其手腕軸的活動(dòng)角度大，因此使它工作時(shí)位姿的適應(yīng)性強(qiáng)。譬如用手腕擰螺釘，手腕關(guān)節(jié)4，6配合，一次就能轉(zhuǎn)1112°。 ⑦ 由于結(jié)構(gòu)上采用了剛性齒輪傳動(dòng)，調(diào)整齒輪間隙機(jī)構(gòu)，彈性萬(wàn)向聯(lián)軸器，工藝上加工精密，多用整體鑄件，使得重復(fù)定位精度高。 ⑧ 機(jī)器人手臂材料的選擇： 機(jī)器人手臂的材料應(yīng)根據(jù)手臂的工作狀況來(lái)選擇。根據(jù)設(shè)計(jì)要求，機(jī)器人手臂要完成各種運(yùn)動(dòng)。因此，對(duì)材料的一個(gè)要求是作為運(yùn)動(dòng)的部件，它應(yīng)是輕型材料。而另一方面，手臂在運(yùn)動(dòng)過(guò)程中往往會(huì)產(chǎn)生振動(dòng)，這將大大降低它的運(yùn)動(dòng)精度。因此，在選擇材料時(shí)，需要對(duì)質(zhì)量、剛度、阻尼進(jìn)行綜合考慮，以便有效地提高手臂的動(dòng)態(tài)性能。 機(jī)器人手臂材料首先應(yīng)是結(jié)構(gòu)材料。手臂承受載荷時(shí)，不應(yīng)有變形和斷裂。從力學(xué)角度看，即要具有一定的強(qiáng)度。手臂材料應(yīng)選擇高強(qiáng)度材料，如鋼、鑄鐵、合金鋼等。機(jī)器人手臂是運(yùn)動(dòng)的，又要具有很好的受控性，因此，要求手臂比較輕。綜合而言，應(yīng)該優(yōu)先選擇強(qiáng)度大而密度小的材料做手臂。其中，非金屬材料有尼龍6、聚乙烯和碳素纖維等；金屬材料以輕合金為主。 ⑨腰關(guān)節(jié)采用齒輪二級(jí)傳動(dòng)?？倐鲃?dòng)比為48，第一級(jí)傳動(dòng)傳動(dòng)比為4，第二級(jí)傳動(dòng)比為12，主軸的角速度為3.82 rad/s。 （二）預(yù)期效果： 工作可靠，結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單；裝卸方便，便于維修、調(diào)整；能很好的實(shí)現(xiàn)自動(dòng)電弧焊的功能。 3 關(guān)節(jié)型機(jī)器人腰部結(jié)構(gòu)設(shè)計(jì) 摘要:

THEORY KESHENG WANG and TERJE K . LIEN Production Engineering Laboratory, NTH-SINTEF, N-7034 Trondheim, Norway A robot manipulator with six degrees of freedom can be separated into two parts: the arm with the first three joints for major positioning and the wrist with the last three joints for major orienting. If we consider theconsecutive links to be parallel or perpendicular, only 12 arm and two wrist configurations are potentially usefuland different for robot manipulator mechanical design.

INTROUCTION A robot manipulator consists of a number of linksconnected together by joints. In robot manipulatordesign, the selection of the kinematic chain of therobot manipulator is one of the most importantdecisions in the mechanical and controller designprocess. In order to position and orient the end effector ofthe robot manipulator arbitrarily, six degrees offreedom are required: three degrees of freedom forposition and three degrees of freedom for orient-ation. Each manipulator joint can provide onedegree of freedom, and thus a manipulator musthave a minimum of six joints if it is to provide sixorthogonal degrees of freedom in position andorientation. The construction of manipulators depends on thedifferent combination of joints. The number of poss-ible variations of an industrial robot structure can bedetermined as follows: V =6 where V= number of variations. D F = n u m b e r of degrees of freedom These considerations show that a very largenumber of different chains can be built, for examplesix axis 46,656 chains are possible. 6 However, alarge number is not appropriate for kinematicreasons. We may divide the six degrees of freedom of arobot manipulator into two parts: the arm whichconsists of the first three joints and related links; andthe wrist which consists of the last three joints andrelated links. Then the variations of kinematic chainswill be tremendously reduced. Lien has developedthe constructions of arm and wrist, i.e. 20 differentconstructions for the arm and eight for the wrist.2 In this paper, we abbreviate the 20 different armsinto 12 kinds of arms which are useful and different.We conclude that five kinds of arms and two kinds ofwrists are basic constructions for commercial indus-trial robot manipulators. This kind of simplificationmay lead to a general algorithm of inverse kinema-tics for the corresponding configuration of differentcombinations of arm and wrist. 2.STRUCTURE DESIGN OF ROBOT MANIPULATORS In this paper, for optimum workspace and sim-plicity, we assume that: (a) A robot with six degrees of freedom may beseparated into two parts: the linkage consistingof the first three joints and related links is calledthe arm; the linkage of the remaining joints andrelated links is called the wrist. (b) Two links are connected by a lower pair joint.Only revolute and linear joints are used in robotmanipulators. (c) The axes of joints are either perpendicular or According to the authors' knowledge, thisassumption is suitable for most commercially usedindustrial robot manipulators. We can consider thestructure of arm and wrist separately. 2.1. The structure o f the arm o f robot manipulator (a) Graphical representation. To draw a robot inside view or in perspective is complicated and doesnot give a clear picture of how the various segmentsmove in relation to each other. To draw a robot in aplane sketched diagram is too simple and does notgive a clear construction picture. We compromisethis problem in a simple three-dimensional diagramto express the construction and movements of arobot manipulator. A typical form of representationfor different articulations is shown in Table 1. (b) Combination of joints. We use R to representa revolute joint and L to represent a linear joint.Different combinations of joints can be obtained asfollows: According to the different combinations with theparallel or perpendicular axes, each previous combin-ation has four kinds of sub-combination. Thus, 32combinations can be arrived at: If the second joint is a linear joint and both the otherjoints are perpendicular to it, two choices in relationto the first and the third joints are considered paral-lel or perpendicular. In all, there are 36 possible combinations of a simplethree-joint arm. Nine of 36 possible combinations degenerate intoone or two degrees of freedom. Seven of the remainder are planar mechanisms.Thus, there are 20 possible spatial simple arms. Let us consider R1 [1 L2 I L3 in whichthe first joint permits rotation about the vertical axis,the second joint is a vertical linear joint (i.e. parallelto the first), and the third joint is a horizontal linearjoint (i.e. perpendicular to the second). This armdefines a typical cylindrical robot. Changing thesequential order of the joints so that either (a) thevertical linear joint precedes the rotary joint, or (b)the vertical linear joint follows the horizontal one,will result in no change in the motion of the arm. Inthis case there are two linkages which are both"equivalent" to the standard cylindrical linkage. Inall such cases where two or more equivalent linkagesexist, the representative of the group will be the onein which the linear joint that is parallel to a rotaryjoint is in the middle (joint No. 2). Counting onlyone linkage to represent the group of equivalentswill eliminate eight of the 20 combinations. Theremaining 12 categories of links are useful and dif-ferent shown in Fig. 1. We get the same results as inRef. 4. (c) Five basic types o f manipulator arm. Althoughthere are 12 useful and different arm-configurationswhich can be used in the design of a robot man-ipulator arm, in practice only some of them arepractical and commonly used. We find that mostcommercially available industrial robots can bebroken down into only five groups according to the. characteristics of their arm motion and geometricalappearance.The five groups can be defined as follows and areshown in Fig. 6. 1. Cartesian ( L I L I L) 2. Cylindrical (R II L 1 L) 3. Spherical (R I R I L) 4. Revolute (R I RII R) 5. Double cylindrical ( LII R II R). 2.2. The structure o f a manipulator wrist (a) Joint type. We have used the first three joints,i.e. the arm of the robot manipulator, to completethe major task of positioning. Then we use the lastthree joints to provide the three degrees of freedomof orientation and refer to the related linkages as thewrist. The wrist of a complete manipulator must containthree revolute joints, since the orientation of a rigidbody has three degrees of freedom, for example firstrotation about the X axis, then rotation about the yaxis, and finally rotation about the z axis. (b) Combination or joints and links. Because theorientation of a wrist which only has three rotationaljoints is simplest, its combination is much simpFrom the combination R R R , we know that onlyone of the four configurations can be used for com-pleting the orientation of robot wrist. R II R II R is aplanar mechanism. R 1 R II R and R II R 1 R cannotexpress three degrees of freedom in the orientationof the robot wrist. So only the R 1 R 1 R construc-tion can be used to complete the orientation task. If we have a different sequence of x, y, z axes, ofcourse we can get many kinds of wrist configuration.But many of them are "equivalent". We only con-sider the relationship between the first and the thirdjoint: parallel and perpendicular. Two differentcombinations can be arrived at, i.e. the Euler angleand r o l l - p i t c h - y a w angle expressions that are shownin Fig. 2. The sequence of x, y, z axes does, however,have an influence on the complexity of the inversekinematic solution. 2.3. Typical robot manipulator structure We can use five categories of arm configurationand two kinds of wrist configuration to combine 10different kinds of robot manipulators with the sixdegrees of freedom which exist in industrial practice.Of course, we can also consider the other seven outof 12 arm categories with one out of two wristcategories to build a new robot manipulator. Butmost of them have not appeared in industrial prac-tice yet. 3. SOLUTION FOR INVERSE KINEMATICS OF ROBOT MANIPULATOR 3.1. General principlesTo find the inverse kinematic equations of a robotmanipulator at first appears to be a difficult task. Butwhen the manipulator is separated into two parts, itbecomes relatively simple.The relationship between the position and orien-tation of manipulator links connected together byrotational joints shown in Fig. 3, can be described by Where 0i is the ith joint variable; di is the ith joint offset; ai is the ith link length; and ai is the ith link twist angle. The position and orientation of the end effector ofthe robot manipulator °T is the matrices product. 3, T = A I A 2 A 3 A 4 A s A 6 . (2) By the associative law the product of matrices can beregrouped into two subsets which represent the armand wrist respectively Where And The superscripts designate the reference frame; arepresents the tip of the arm; and w represents thetip of wrist, i.e. the center of the end effector of themanipulator.°T given for the end effector can be written as a4 x 4 homogeneous matrix composed of a orienta-tion submatrix R and a position vector p5.6 We can obtain the vector OaPdirectly using a vectoranalysis method. The detail will be mentioned in thenext section. from Eq. (4), We can get 01, 02, 03, the first three joint variablesfrom the solution of the following equation: The orientation of the end effector of the robotmanipulator can be considered as the product of theorientation of the arm and the orientation of the wrist: From Eqs (12) and (5), we can obtain where We can get the last three joint variables 04, 05, 06 by solving Eq. (13). 3.2. Different methodsThere are two kinds of solutions for the robot manipulator: closed form solutions and numericalsolutions. Because of their iterative nature, numeri-cal solutions are generally much slower than thecorresponding closed form solutions, so much so that for most uses, we are not interested in the numerical approach to solution of kinematics. But, in general, it is much easier to obtain the numerical algorithm than to obtain the closed form solution. In this paper we propose algorithms of both solu-tions. (a) Closed form solution. In the closed form solu-tion, the key problem is to obtain the position of thetip of the arm P. It is simple to obtain the position ofthe arm tip for the wrist axis intersecting at onepoint. But it is complex for the wrists where there isan axis offset, because the movement of the wristwill greatly affect the position of end effector of themanipulator In the following, we use the RRR + Euler angleand RRR + R - P - Y angle as examples to describehow to get the position of the tip of arm separately. RRR + Euler angleFigure 4 shows a sketch diagram of a R R R + Euler angle robot manipulator (PUMA 600) and the co-ordinate system which is represented by the D - Hexpression. The figure shows the relationship be-tween the arm and wrist vectors. ~r, is the positionvector from the base coordinate frame to the centerof the end effector of the robot manipulator. Arepresents the approach direction of the end effec-tor, °aPis the arm vector measured from the origin tothe connecting point of the arm and wrist, gP is thewrist vector having the same direction as the Avector and length measured from the connectionpoint of the arm and wrist to the center of the endeffector. With reference to frame 0, the product ~R gP issimply gP, i.e. the position of the center of the endeffector of robot manipulator measured from the tipof the arm, all with respect to frame 0. We canobtain This states that the total translation of the endeffector is the sum of the translation from the base to the tip of the arm plus the transformation from thetip of the arm to the center of the end effector. From Eq. (17), we can easily obtain the positionof the arm tip ~P as follows: Then we can use Eqs (10) and (11) to obtain the firstthree joint variables 0:, 02, 03 and Eq. (13) to obtainthe last three joint variables 04, 05,06. The detailedsolution is shown in Part II. t0 Figure 5 shows a sketch diagram of a RRR +R - P - Y angle robot manipulator (Cincinatti Mila- cran T 3) and the coordinate system. Euler anglesare different from R - P - Y angles because the vector0p is affected by the movement of joint 4. Here is anexample showing how to treat the wrist axis offset.gPt:is the wrist vector having the same direction asthe A vector and length measured from the point ofjoint 4 to the center of the end effector, i.e. d+. ~P2 isthe other wrist vector having length measured frompoint of joint 4 to point of joint 5, i.e. a4. oP, theposition of arm, can be computed from the se-quential solution of the following set of equations: Then we can obtain 01, 02, 03 from Eqs (10) and (11)and obtain 0+, 05, 06 from Eq. (13). ? General closed form solution algorithm Step 1. Finding the approach vector of the endeffector Step 2.If there is some off-set in the wrist construc-tion, use the vector algebra to determine the off-set gP, and get the arm vector, i.e. theposition of arm tip, then go to step 4.Otherwise go to Step 3. Compute the arm vector ~P directly usingapproach vector A. Step 4. Compute the first three joint variables 01,02, 03, using the arm vector gP from Eqs (10) and (11). Step 5. Compute the last three joint variables 04, 05,06 from Eq. (13).This approach shows that the number of computa-tions is kept to a minimum by reducing the overallproblem into separate steps which in turn lowers thelikelihood of errors and helps to reduce the tedious-ness of the work. (b) Numerical solution. The algorithm for thenumerical solution: Step 1. Assume the last three joint variables 04, 05,06 by the best available approximation,perhaps from a previous computed point. Step 2. Compute the arm joint variables 81, 02, 03from Eqs (10) and (11). Step 3. Compute wrist joint variables 04, 05, 06 from Eq. (13), using the values of the arm jointvariables obtained from step 2. Step 4. Compute the position and orientation of theend effector of robot manipulator using the values of all joint variables obtained fromstep 2 and step 3. Step 5. If the errors between the given values andthe calculated values is less than a pre- specified value, then the procedure stops.Otherwise go to step 2 to repeat the pro- cedure.The physical interpretation of the above pro-cedure is alternately to move the arm and wrist, oneto satisfy the positional and other to satisfy theorientational specification of the end effector, eachtime moving only the arm (or the wrist) while hold-ing the wrist (or the arm) fixed. This method has been implemented in a PUMA600 robot manipulator. It has been found that four is a sufficient number of iterations to reach therequired accuracy (A < 0.01 mm) and the number has been fixed in the inverse kinematic solution.This algorithm has the advantage of treating the different kinds of robots with the same algorithm.But this method needs so much more computing time than the closed form solution, that it is notsuitable for real-time control of robot manipulators. 4. CONCLUSIONS The variety of possible robot configurations isvery large. A step towards generalization has been made by emphasizing that robot manipulators ofpractical importance are separable into primary sub-systems, the arm and the wrist. Mathematical treat-ment of various robots may be modularized and thusgreatly simplified by giving a separate description ofvarious arms and various wrists in common use.It has been discovered that only 12 useful and different categories of arm construction and twokinds of wrist construction exist. Using thehomogeneous transformation matrix method, theinverse kinematic solution is easily derived.The two algorithms which consist of the closedform and numerical solution of the inverse kine-matics have been given in this paper.
