Jacobian Algorithm

For redundant robotic manipulators, we study the design problem of Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms of desired performance. A specific instance of the problem is addressed, namely the optimal approximation of the Jacobian pseudo-inverse algorithm by the extended Jacobian algorithm. The approximation error functional is derived for the coordinate-free representation of the manipulator’s kinematics. A variational formulation of the problem is employed, and the approximation error is minimized by means of the Ritz method. The optimal extended Jacobian algorithm is designed for the 7 degrees of freedom (dof) POLYCRANK manipulator. It is concluded that the coordinate-free kinematics representation results in more accurate approximation than the coordinate expression of the kinematics.

Abstract A semi-analytical method and a computer program are developed for inverse kinematics solution of a class of robotic manipulators, in which four joint variables are contained in wrist point equations. For this case, it becomes possible to express all the joint variables in terms of a joint variable, and this reduces the inverse kinematics problem to solving a nonlinear equation in terms of that joint variable. The solution can be obtained by iterative methods and the remaining joint variables can easily be computed by using the solved joint variable. Since the method is manipulator dependent, the equations will be different for kinematically different classes of manipulators, and should be derived analytically. A significant benefit of the method is that, the singular configurations and the multiple solutions indicated by sign ambiguities can be determined while deriving the inverse kinematic expressions. The developed method is applied to a six-revolute-joint industrial robot, FANUC Arc Mate Sr.
