rt_puma560akb - create a Puma 560 robot object using the Armstrong, Khatib and Burdick kinematic notation[view code]

Calling Sequence

exec <PATH>/models/rt_puma560akb.sce;

Description

This Scilab script creates the robot object p560m which describes the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of a Unimation Puma 560 manipulator. It uses Craig's modified Denavit-Hartenberg notation with the particular kinematic conventions from Armstrong, Khatib and Burdick. All quantities are in standard SI units.

Also defines the joint coordinate vectors qz, qready and qstretch corresponding to the zero-angle, ready and fully extended (in X-direction) poses respectively.

Examples

   // load Puma 560 parameters
   exec <PATH>/models/rt_puma560akb.sce;
   disp(p560m);                                 // display the robot

   // show it at qz, qready and qstretch poses
   h0 = scf(0); a0 = h0.children;
   a0.tight_limits = "on"; a0.rotation_angles = [73, -50];

   disp(qz);                                    // QZ
   disp(rt_fkine(p560m, qz));
   rt_plot(p560m, qz);

   disp(qready);                                // QREADY
   disp(rt_fkine(p560m, qready));
   rt_plot(p560m, qready);

   disp(qstretch);                              // QSTRETCH
   disp(rt_fkine(p560m, qstretch));
   rt_plot(p560m, qstretch);
