Telerobotics

For this project they were finding the position of the end-effector given certain lengths and angles. Using the positions of each piece of the robotic arm, lengths, and angles, they created equations to find the position of the end-effector based on the angles. Then they found an area of no touch zone for the end-effector. Using the standard position equation for an ellipse, they created equations using x and y positions; theta one, theta two, and theta three.

From my results they found that the position of the end-effector is based on the angles (theta one,theta two, theta three) because the lengths of the arm don’t change. The area of no touch zone for the end-effector, I don’t think will ever be a factor unless theta two is negative and theta one is positive.
