Abstract— To be able to control a robot manipulator as required
by its operation, it is important to consider the kinematic model
in
design of the control algorithm. In robotics, the kinematic
descriptions of manipulators and their assigned tasks are
utilized to
set up the fundamental equations for dynamics and control.. The
objective of this paper is to derive the complete forward
kinematic
model (analytical and numerical) of a 6 DOF robotic arm (LR
Mate
200iC from Fanuc Robotics) and validate it with the data
provided by
robot’s software.

I. INTRODUCTION
Kinematics is the science of geometry in motion. It is
restricted to a pure geometrical description of motion by
means of position, orientation, and their time derivatives. In
robotics, the kinematic descriptions of manipulators and their
assigned tasks are utilized to set up the fundamental equations
for dynamics and control [1]. These non-linear equations are
used to map the joint parameters to the configuration of the
robot system. The Denavit and Hartenberg notation [2],[3]
gives us a standard methodology to write the kinematic
equations of a manipulator. This is especially useful for serial
manipulators where a matrix is used to represent the pose
(position and orientation) of one body with respect to another.
There are two important aspects in kinematic analysis of
robots: the Forward Kinematics problem and the Inverse
Kinematics problem. Forward kinematics refers to the use of
the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of
the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters
Inverse kinematics refers to the use of the kinematics equations
of a robot to determine the joint parameters that provide a
desired position of the end-effector.
The purpose of this paper is to obtain the forward
kinematic analysis for the Fanuc LR Mate 200iC Robot, to
make model of robot using Robotic Toolbox® for MATLAB®
and validate it with the data provided by robot’s software. The
information can be use in the future design and production of

the globe.
II. THEORETICAL ASPECTS
The forward kinematics problem is concerned with the
relationship between the individual joints of the robot
manipulator and the position and orientation of the tool or end-
effector.
A serial-link manipulator comprises a set of bodies,
called links, in a chain and connected by joints. A link is
considered a rigid body that defines the spatial relationship
between two neighboring joint axes. The objective of forward
kinematic analysis is to determine the cumulative effect of the
entire set of joint variables.
The Denavit and Hartenberg notation for describing
serial-link mechanism geometry is a fundamental tool for robot
analysis. Given such a description of a manipulator it can be
use for established algorithmic techniques to find kinematic
solutions, Jacobians, dynamics, motion planning and
simulation.
In order to perform a forward kinematic analysis of a
serial-link robot, based on Denavit - Hartenberg (D-H)
notation it is necessary to achieve a five steps algorithm:
1. Numbering the joints and links
A serial-link robot with n joints will have n +1 links.
Numbering of links starts from (0) for the fixed grounded base
link and increases sequentially up to (n) for the end-effector
link. Numbering of joints starts from 1, for the joint
connecting the first movable link to the base link, and
increases sequentially up to n. Therefore, the link (i) is
connected to its lower link (i - 1) at its proximal end by joint
(i) and is connected to its upper link (i + 1) at its distal end by
joint (i + 1).
2. Attaching a local coordinate reference frame for each
link (i) and joint (i+1) based on the following method, known
as Denavit - Hartenberg convention [2], [3].
Fundamentally is necessary to describe the pose of each
link in the chain relative to the pose of the preceding link. It is
expected that this to comprise six parameters, one of which is
the joint variable the parameter of the joint that connects the
two links. The Denavit-Hartenberg formalism [2]-[4], [6] uses
only four parameters to describe the spatial relationship
between successive link coordinate frames, and this is
achieved by introducing two constraints to the placement of

those frames the axis ix is intersecting or perpendicular to the
axis i-1z . The choices of coordinates frames are also not
unique, different people will derive different, but correct,
coordinate frame assignments.
In this paper it is used the standard D-H notation [4]. It
begins by assignation of iz axes. There are two cases to
consider: if joint (i +1) is revolute, iz is the axis of revolution
of joint (i +1) and if joint (i +1) is prismatic, iz is the axis of
translation of joint (i +1).
Once it was established the iz -axes for the links, it must
establish the base frame { }0 . The choice of a base frame is
nearly arbitrary. Once frame { }0 has been established, begins
an iterative process in which it is defined frame { }i using
frame { }i - 1 .
In order to set up frame { }i it is necessary to consider three
cases:
(a) Axes i-1z and iz are not coplanar (fig.1): The line
containing the common normal i-1z to iz define ix axis and
the point where this line intersects iz is the origin of
frame { }i .
(b) Axis i-1z is parallel to axis iz : The origin of frame { }i
is the point at which the normal that passes through origin of
frame { }i - 1 intersects the iz axis. The axis ix is directed
from origin of frame { }i , toward i-1z axis, along the common
normal.
(c) Axis i-1z intersects axis iz : The origin of frame { }i is
at the point of intersection of axes i-1z and iz . The axis ix is
chosen normal to the plane formed by axes i-1z and iz . The
positive direction is arbitrary.
In all cases the iy -axis is determined by the right-hand
rule: i i iy z x= × .
3. Establish D-H parameters for each link
The fundamentals of serial-link robot kinematics and the
Denavit-Hartenberg [2], [3] notation are well covered in
standard texts [6]. Each link is represented by two parameters:
the link length ( a ), and link twist ( α ), which define the
relative location of the two attached joint axes in space. Joints
are also described by two parameters: the link offset ( d ),
which is the distance from one link to the next along the axis
of the joint, and the joint angle (θ ), which is the rotation of
one link with respect to the next about the joint axis. For a
revolute joint iθ is the joint variable and id is constant, while
for a prismatic joint id is variable and iθ is constant. The link
length and link twist are constant.
Using the attached frames (fig.1), the four parameters that
locate one frame relative to another are defines as:
-1x and
ix axes about the i-1z axis;
frame { }i - 1 to the ix axis along the i-1z axis;
i-1z and iz axes along the ix axis; for intersecting
axes is parallel to i-1 iz z× ;
-1z and
iz axes about the ix axis.
4. Calculate the matrix of homogeneous transformation for
each link.
The reference frame { }i can be located relative to
reference frame { }i - 1 (fig.1) by executing a rotation through
an angle iθ about i-1z axis, a translation of distance id along
i-1z axis, a translation of distance ia along ix axis and a
rotation through an angle iα about ix axis. Trough
concatenation of these individual transformations, the
equivalent homogeneous transformation is:
( , , , ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )i -1 i i i i i z i z i x i x iT d a R T d T a Rθ α
θ α= ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ (1)
where ( )R and ( )T are the 4 4× homogeneous
transformation matrix for rotation and translation that are well
covered in literature [1], [4] and [6].
Equation (1) can be expanded as:

where: c iθ is cos( )iθ and isθ is sin( )iθ .
Since the homogeneous transformation matrix of the
frame { }i related to the frame { }i - 1 , i -1 iT is a function of
a
single variable, it turns out that three of the above four
quantities are constant for a given link, while the fourth
parameter, iθ for a revolute joint and id for a prismatic joint,
is the joint variable.
5. Compute the kinematics equations of the robot
The coordinate transformations along a serial robot
consisting of n links form the kinematics equations of the robot
is:

where i -1 iT is the homogeneous transformation matrix of the
frame { }i related to the frame { }i - 1 .
The result will be a 4 4× matrix that gives us the
information about orientation or rotation ( n - normal vector,
o - orientation vector, a - approach vector) matrix and
position ( p - vector) vector of the last frame { }n relative to
the first frame { }0 :

III. ANALYTICAL FORWARD KINEMATIC ANALYSIS
OF 6 DOF - LR MATE 200IC ROBOT
The LR Mate 200iC is an industrial robot manufactured by
FANUC Robotics and designed for a variety of manufacturing
and system process. We have that type of robot in our
Robotics Laboratory. The manipulator provides a payload of 5
kg capacity in a compact modular construction and reach of
704 mm with enough flexibility and higher reliability trough
the harmonic drives in its six-axis. The LR Mate 200iC Robot
is an electric servo-driven mini robot offering best-in-class
performance in a light, efficient, accurate and nimble package.
This robot is ideal for fast and precise applications in all
environments [5].
From the fig.2 it can be seen that the LR Mate 200iC has a
serial 6-DOF robotic arm with six revolute joints
( ).
In order to make a forward kinematic analysis for of LR
Mate 200iC Robot it is numbered links and joint and it is
attached local coordinate reference frames (fig.3). The origin
of frame { }0 it is choosen to be intersection of axis from joint
(1) with a perpendicular plan that contains the axis of joint (2).
The Table 1 summarizes the D-H parameters for each link
as follows from fig.2 in accord with step 4 from previous

IV. NUMERICAL FORWARD KINEMATIC ANALYSIS
OF 6 DOF - LR MATE 200IC ROBOT AND COMPARISONS
To carry out the numerical forward kinematic I used
Robotic Toolbox ® (version 9.9) for MATLAB® developed
by Peter Corke professor at Queensland University of
Technology. The Toolbox has always provided many functions
that are useful for the study and simulation of classical arm-
type robotics, for example such things as kinematics,
dynamics, and trajectory generation. The Toolbox provides
functions for manipulating and converting between datatypes
such as: vectors; homogeneous transformations; roll-pitch-yaw
and Euler angles and unit-quaternions which are necessary to
represent 3-dimensional position and orientation. These
parameters are encapsulated in MATLAB objects, robot
objects can be created by the user for any serial-link
manipulator. It can operate with symbolic values as well as
numeric. The Toolbox is based on a very general method of
representing the kinematics and dynamics of serial-link
manipulators [4]. The Robotic Toolbox is an open-source,
available for free and its routines are generally written in a
straightforward manner which allows for easy understanding
[7].
Numerical values for LR Mate 200iC Robot from [5] are:
1
0.075[ ]a m= ,
2
0.300 [ ]a m= ,
3
0.075[ ]a m= ,
4
0.320 [ ]d m= and
6
0.080 [ ]d m= .
In order to create a model of the LR Mate 200iC Robot using
Robotic Toolbox , the D-H parameters from Table 1 have been
used.
Firstly a vector of ( , , , , )
i i i i i
Link d aθ α σ objects was
created and after that it was used SerialLink command to
create the model of robot with the name LRMATE200iC
(fig.4). The parameters of Link object are the D-H parameters
defined in section 2: joint angle ( iθ ), link offset ( id ), link
length ( ia ), link twist ( iα ) and a parameter for type of joint
iσ ( 0iσ = for revolute joint and 1iσ = for prismatic
joint).
The fkine(q) method (fig.5) use for calculation the same
algorithm presented in section 2 [4], [7] and is the pose of the
robot end-effector as an SE(3) homogeneous transformation
( 4 4× ) for the joint configuration q (1× n ), where q is
interpreted as the generalized joint coordinates. In case of LR
Mate 200iC Robot (six revolute joints robot) the generalized
joint coordinates is represented by a vector (1 6)× :
[ ]1 2 3 4 5 6q θ θ θ θ θ θ= (7)
A pose of the robot, based on the kinematic model, can be
visualized graphically using plot(q) method (Line 3 in Table
2). A stick figure polyline joins the origins of the link
coordinate frames [7].
It was implemented the equation (6) in a Matlab function in
order to calculate the forward kinematics based on algorithm
presented in section 2.

Robotic Toolbox

ISBN: 978-1-61804-288-0 93
In order to validate the model of forward kinematic further
tests were conducted. It was imposed three generalized
coordinate vector q (line 1 in table 2) to be use. The first pose
it is named the rest pose. The result from use of equation (6) is
presented in Table 2 (line 2). In the line 3 of Table 2 is
presented the representation of the three pose using the plot(q)
method from Robotic Toolbox. The homogeneous
transformation for the joint configuration resulted from fkine
method is presented in line 4 (Table 2). The real pose of LR
Mate 200iC Robot for each q is presented in line 5 from Table
2. The line 6 from Table 2 presents the capture image from
robot’s teaching pendant (a control box for programming the
motions of a robot) display of position joints angle. The final
line from Table 2 presents teach pendant display capture
image for the position and orientation (equivalent for
kinematic equations).
The LR Mate 200iC Robot teach pendant use the following
notation: Ji for joint angle ( iθ ) , [ ]X Y Z for position
vector p [ ]x y zp p p= and [ ]W P R for rotation angle
around axes [ ]x y z .
For compute the rotation matrix of the homogeneous
transformation it was the following equation:
( ) ( ) ( )z y xR Rot R Rot P Rot W= ⋅ ⋅ (8)
where ( )zRot R is the rotation matrix around axis z with
R angle ( ( )yRot P and ( )xRot W similarly) [6].

The difference between angle from teach pendant display
and generalized coordinate vector (line 1 and 6 from Table 2)
results as robot software makes some adjustments in order to
protect robot from fails: angle of joint 2 is considered in
opposite direction and added with 2π ; when robot is moving
axis 2 with a value, the same value is subtracted from angle of
joint 3 and angle of joint 4 is considered in opposite direction.
Note that graphical representation of the kinematic model (line
3) and capture of the robot (line 5) are the same.
Taking in consideration remarks from previous paragraph
there is almost a perfect match between the three types of
results: analytically, numerically and data from robot
software (small differences appear on teach pendant display
resulted from the precision of the robot ± 0.02[mm])[5].
V. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper it was studied the forward kinematics by two
different techniques: analytically using a five step algorithm
derived from Denavit and Hartenberg notation and numerically
using Robotic Toolbox ® for MATLAB® developed by Peter
Corke. We make all calculation on LR Mate 200iC Robot
from Fanuc Robotics and in order to validate the model of
forward kinematic we compare the results with what robot’s
software measurated and displayed on teach pendant.
Summing up the results, it can be concluded that is almost
perfect match between the three types of results: analytically,
numerically and data from robot software.
Also this paper shows that using Robotic Toolbox ® for
MATLAB® is a very useful and fast tool to study the forward
kinematics for industrial robot.
The information can be use in the future design of the robot
to make it faster and more accurate. In our future research we
intend to concentrate on Inverse Kinematics, Jacobian and
Dynamics of the robot LR MATE 200iC.

modeling of a Fanuc LR mate Li robot)
Part I Modeling of the Robot
1. Draw out the kinematic diagram and assign joint, frame and
link
numbers.
This task is an essential task and you need to carefully consider
the
actual configuration of the robot and draw the kinematic
diagram. You
must know the type of the motion and how each joint move the
next link.
Use the standard notations for the joints, frames and the links.
2. Assign the Joint axes
It robot kinematic analysis it is preferred to use the Denavit
Hartenberg (DH)
notations, hence assign the joint axes by carefully following the
DH rules.
If you have assigned your axes correctly, then the rest of the
kinematic
modeling would be easier for you. Otherwise you may get
incorrect results,
hence check whether you have assigned the joint axes a number
of times.
3. Knowing about the end effector type, position and orientation
The goal of calculating the Forward Kinematics is to be able to
calculate the
end effector position and orientation from the position of the
joints.
4. Fill the DH parameter table and calculate the parameters
The DH parameters break down each joint of the robot into four
parameters,
each taken with reference to the previous joint. They are
calculated in reference
to the "common normal" described above. Note that if the
previous z-axis
intersects the current z-axis, which is often the case, the
common normal has a
length of zero.
d - the distance between the previous x-axis and the current x-
axis, along the
common normal
θ - the angle around the z-axis between the previous x-axis and
current x-axis.
a (or r) - the length of the common normal
α - the angle around the common normal to between the
previous z-axis and
current z-axis.

Once you have filled the DH table you can combine all
transformations, from
the first joint (base) to the next until we get to the last joint, to
get the robot’s

5. Modeling the forward and inverse kinematics
Once you had formulated the Forward and inverse kinematic
equations. The
next step simplifying the calculations using computer programs.
There are lots of kinematic software libraries (available for use
– search for a
kinematics software written in a software of your choice) and
many of them do
far more than just calculate Forward Kinematics. Most of them
include
Inverse Kinematic solvers, dynamics, and etc.
These libraries will transform your DH parameters into
matrices, which are
then multiplied together to calculate the relationship between
joint positions
and end effector position.
You can also use your favorite programming language and write
a program to
do the same. My recommendation is that you use MATLAB.
Part II Using the selected robot to solve a particular
manufacturing problem.
1. Think where the robot which you had selected may be used
and using the
robot selection criteria (Lecture 8), justify the selected robot
2. Economic justification of the selected robots (Lecture 8).
Conduct an
economic justification of the selected robots (Lecture 8)
3. Show the integration of the robot with the selected
manufacturing, in order
to solve specific manufacturing functions.
4. If additional computer operated equipment, or CNC or other
automation
units are needed explain about each of the existing units and
how they
function.

Abstract— To be able to control a robot manipulator as.docx

  • 1. Abstract— To be able to control a robot manipulator as required by its operation, it is important to consider the kinematic model in design of the control algorithm. In robotics, the kinematic descriptions of manipulators and their assigned tasks are utilized to set up the fundamental equations for dynamics and control.. The objective of this paper is to derive the complete forward kinematic model (analytical and numerical) of a 6 DOF robotic arm (LR Mate 200iC from Fanuc Robotics) and validate it with the data provided by robot’s software. Keywords — forward kinematic, Denavit-Hartenberg parameters, Robotic Toolbox I. INTRODUCTION Kinematics is the science of geometry in motion. It is restricted to a pure geometrical description of motion by means of position, orientation, and their time derivatives. In robotics, the kinematic descriptions of manipulators and their assigned tasks are utilized to set up the fundamental equations for dynamics and control [1]. These non-linear equations are
  • 2. used to map the joint parameters to the configuration of the robot system. The Denavit and Hartenberg notation [2],[3] gives us a standard methodology to write the kinematic equations of a manipulator. This is especially useful for serial manipulators where a matrix is used to represent the pose (position and orientation) of one body with respect to another. There are two important aspects in kinematic analysis of robots: the Forward Kinematics problem and the Inverse Kinematics problem. Forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters Inverse kinematics refers to the use of the kinematics equations of a robot to determine the joint parameters that provide a desired position of the end-effector. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the forward kinematic analysis for the Fanuc LR Mate 200iC Robot, to make model of robot using Robotic Toolbox® for MATLAB® and validate it with the data provided by robot’s software.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS The forward kinematics problem is concerned with the relationship between the individual joints of the robot manipulator and the position and orientation of the tool or end- effector. A serial-link manipulator comprises a set of bodies, called links, in a chain and connected by joints. A link is considered a rigid body that defines the spatial relationship between two neighboring joint axes. The objective of forward kinematic analysis is to determine the cumulative effect of the entire set of joint variables. The Denavit and Hartenberg notation for describing serial-link mechanism geometry is a fundamental tool for robot analysis. Given such a description of a manipulator it can be use for established algorithmic techniques to find kinematic solutions, Jacobians, dynamics, motion planning and simulation. In order to perform a forward kinematic analysis of a serial-link robot, based on Denavit - Hartenberg (D-H) notation it is necessary to achieve a five steps algorithm: 1. Numbering the joints and links A serial-link robot with n joints will have n +1 links. Numbering of links starts from (0) for the fixed grounded base
  • 4. link and increases sequentially up to (n) for the end-effector link. Numbering of joints starts from 1, for the joint connecting the first movable link to the base link, and increases sequentially up to n. Therefore, the link (i) is connected to its lower link (i - 1) at its proximal end by joint (i) and is connected to its upper link (i + 1) at its distal end by joint (i + 1). 2. Attaching a local coordinate reference frame for each link (i) and joint (i+1) based on the following method, known as Denavit - Hartenberg convention [2], [3]. Fundamentally is necessary to describe the pose of each link in the chain relative to the pose of the preceding link. It is expected that this to comprise six parameters, one of which is the joint variable the parameter of the joint that connects the two links. The Denavit-Hartenberg formalism [2]-[4], [6] uses only four parameters to describe the spatial relationship between successive link coordinate frames, and this is achieved by introducing two constraints to the placement of Forward Kinematic Analysis of an Industrial Robot Daniel Constantin, Marin Lupoae, Cătălin Baciu, Dan-Ilie Buliga New Developments in Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering ISBN: 978-1-61804-288-0 90
  • 5. those frames the axis ix is intersecting or perpendicular to the axis i-1z . The choices of coordinates frames are also not unique, different people will derive different, but correct, coordinate frame assignments. In this paper it is used the standard D-H notation [4]. It begins by assignation of iz axes. There are two cases to consider: if joint (i +1) is revolute, iz is the axis of revolution of joint (i +1) and if joint (i +1) is prismatic, iz is the axis of translation of joint (i +1). Once it was established the iz -axes for the links, it must establish the base frame { }0 . The choice of a base frame is nearly arbitrary. Once frame { }0 has been established, begins an iterative process in which it is defined frame { }i using frame { }i - 1 . In order to set up frame { }i it is necessary to consider three cases: (a) Axes i-1z and iz are not coplanar (fig.1): The line containing the common normal i-1z to iz define ix axis and the point where this line intersects iz is the origin of frame { }i . (b) Axis i-1z is parallel to axis iz : The origin of frame { }i is the point at which the normal that passes through origin of frame { }i - 1 intersects the iz axis. The axis ix is directed from origin of frame { }i , toward i-1z axis, along the common normal.
  • 6. (c) Axis i-1z intersects axis iz : The origin of frame { }i is at the point of intersection of axes i-1z and iz . The axis ix is chosen normal to the plane formed by axes i-1z and iz . The positive direction is arbitrary. In all cases the iy -axis is determined by the right-hand rule: i i iy z x= × . 3. Establish D-H parameters for each link The fundamentals of serial-link robot kinematics and the Denavit-Hartenberg [2], [3] notation are well covered in standard texts [6]. Each link is represented by two parameters: the link length ( a ), and link twist ( α ), which define the relative location of the two attached joint axes in space. Joints are also described by two parameters: the link offset ( d ), which is the distance from one link to the next along the axis of the joint, and the joint angle (θ ), which is the rotation of one link with respect to the next about the joint axis. For a revolute joint iθ is the joint variable and id is constant, while for a prismatic joint id is variable and iθ is constant. The link length and link twist are constant. Using the attached frames (fig.1), the four parameters that locate one frame relative to another are defines as: -1x and ix axes about the i-1z axis; frame { }i - 1 to the ix axis along the i-1z axis; i-1z and iz axes along the ix axis; for intersecting
  • 7. axes is parallel to i-1 iz z× ; -1z and iz axes about the ix axis. 4. Calculate the matrix of homogeneous transformation for each link. The reference frame { }i can be located relative to reference frame { }i - 1 (fig.1) by executing a rotation through an angle iθ about i-1z axis, a translation of distance id along i-1z axis, a translation of distance ia along ix axis and a rotation through an angle iα about ix axis. Trough concatenation of these individual transformations, the equivalent homogeneous transformation is: ( , , , ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )i -1 i i i i i z i z i x i x iT d a R T d T a Rθ α θ α= ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ (1) where ( )R and ( )T are the 4 4× homogeneous transformation matrix for rotation and translation that are well covered in literature [1], [4] and [6]. Equation (1) can be expanded as: Fig. 1 D-H frames allocation and parameters (adapted from [4]) New Developments in Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering

Since the homogeneous transformation matrix of the frame { }i related to the frame { }i - 1 , i -1 iT is a function of a single variable, it turns out that three of the above four quantities are constant for a given link, while the fourth parameter, iθ for a revolute joint and id for a prismatic joint, is the joint variable. 5. Compute the kinematics equations of the robot The coordinate transformations along a serial robot consisting of n links form the kinematics equations of the robot is: 0 n i -1 n i i=1 T T= ∏ (3) where i -1 iT is the homogeneous transformation matrix of the frame { }i related to the frame { }i - 1 .

NUMERICAL FORWARD KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF 6 DOF - LR MATE 200IC ROBOT AND COMPARISONS To carry out the numerical forward kinematic I used Robotic Toolbox ® (version 9.9) for MATLAB® developed by Peter Corke professor at Queensland University of Technology. The Toolbox has always provided many functions that are useful for the study and simulation of classical arm- type robotics, for example such things as kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory generation. The Toolbox provides functions for manipulating and converting between datatypes such as: vectors; homogeneous transformations; roll-pitch-yaw and Euler angles and unit-quaternions which are necessary to represent 3-dimensional position and orientation. These parameters are encapsulated in MATLAB objects, robot objects can be created by the user for any serial-link manipulator. It can operate with symbolic values as well as numeric. The Toolbox is based on a very general method of representing the kinematics and dynamics of serial-link manipulators [4]. The Robotic Toolbox is an open-source, available for free and its routines are generally written in a straightforward manner which allows for easy understanding [7]. Numerical values for LR Mate 200iC Robot from [5] are:

In order to create a model of the LR Mate 200iC Robot using Robotic Toolbox , the D-H parameters from Table 1 have been used. Firstly a vector of ( , , , , ) i i i i i Link d aθ α σ objects was created and after that it was used SerialLink command to create the model of robot with the name LRMATE200iC (fig.4). The parameters of Link object are the D-H parameters defined in section 2: joint angle ( iθ ), link offset ( id ), link length ( ia ), link twist ( iα ) and a parameter for type of joint iσ ( 0iσ = for revolute joint and 1iσ = for prismatic joint). The fkine(q) method (fig.5) use for calculation the same algorithm presented in section 2 [4], [7] and is the pose of the robot end-effector as an SE(3) homogeneous transformation

A stick figure polyline joins the origins of the link coordinate frames [7]. It was implemented the equation (6) in a Matlab function in order to calculate the forward kinematics based on algorithm presented in section 2. Fig. 5 Homogeneous transformation of robot in Robotic Toolbox Fig. 4 Creating the model of robot in Robotic Toolbox New Developments in Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering ISBN: 978-1-61804-288-0 93 In order to validate the model of forward kinematic further tests were conducted. It was imposed three generalized coordinate vector q (line 1 in table 2) to be use. The first pose it is named the rest pose. The result from use of equation (6) is presented in Table 2 (line 2). In the line 3 of Table 2 is

The homogeneous transformation for the joint configuration resulted from fkine method is presented in line 4 (Table 2). The real pose of LR Mate 200iC Robot for each q is presented in line 5 from Table 2. The line 6 from Table 2 presents the capture image from robot’s teaching pendant (a control box for programming the motions of a robot) display of position joints angle. The final line from Table 2 presents teach pendant display capture image for the position and orientation (equivalent for kinematic equations). The LR Mate 200iC Robot teach pendant use the following notation: Ji for joint angle ( iθ ) , [ ]X Y Z for position vector p [ ]x y zp p p= and [ ]W P R for rotation angle around axes [ ]x y z . For compute the rotation matrix of the homogeneous transformation it was the following equation: ( ) ( ) ( )z y xR Rot R Rot P Rot W= ⋅ ⋅ (8) where ( )zRot R is the rotation matrix around axis z with R angle ( ( )yRot P and ( )xRot W similarly) [6].

Taking into account all from above it can be deliver the final homogeneous transformation of the robot: 0 1 R p T (9) The difference between angle from teach pendant display and generalized coordinate vector (line 1 and 6 from Table 2) results as robot software makes some adjustments in order to protect robot from fails: angle of joint 2 is considered in opposite direction and added with 2π ; when robot is moving axis 2 with a value, the same value is subtracted from angle of joint 3 and angle of joint 4 is considered in opposite direction. Note that graphical representation of the kinematic model (line 3) and capture of the robot (line 5) are the same. Taking in consideration remarks from previous paragraph there is almost a perfect match between the three types of results: analytically, numerically and data from robot software (small differences appear on teach pendant display resulted from the precision of the robot ± 0.02[mm])[5].

We make all calculation on LR Mate 200iC Robot from Fanuc Robotics and in order to validate the model of forward kinematic we compare the results with what robot’s software measurated and displayed on teach pendant. Summing up the results, it can be concluded that is almost perfect match between the three types of results: analytically, numerically and data from robot software. Also this paper shows that using Robotic Toolbox ® for MATLAB® is a very useful and fast tool to study the forward kinematics for industrial robot.
