Details

This Demonstration creates a serial-link robot arm with some common configurations. You can manipulate each joint using the sliders.

Degrees of freedom (DOF) is the number of joints that the robot has. The DOF is equal to the dimension of the robot's configuration space.

The DH parameters are link length , link twist , link offset and joint angle . These four parameters are associated with link and joint .
