This tool facilitates solving for Transformation Solutions using the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) Convention. Given DH Table parameters ([\theta, \alpha, r, d]) for each ( (n,n+1) ) frame interaction, you can derive the ( H(n,n+1) ) matrix. Multiplying all of these matrices in the same order as their frame interactions will yield the resultant Transformation Solution.
- (\theta): Rotation needed in the ( (n-1) ) frame in the ( Z_{n-1} ) direction to align with the ( X ) axis.
- (\alpha): Rotation needed in the ( (n-1) ) frame in the ( X_{n} ) direction to align with the ( Z ) axis.
- ( r ): Distance between the centers of the ( (n-1) ) and the ( (n) ) frame in the ( X_{n} ) direction.
- ( d ): Distance between the centers of the ( (n-1) ) and the ( (n) ) frame in the ( Z_{n-1} ) direction.
- Generate the frames according to the rules of the Denavit-Hartenberg Convention and label them accordingly.
- Generate the DH Table values between each ( (n-1,n) )th frame following the mentioned rules.
- Generate a matrix as shown below:
- Create a variable holding the entire table values in the order ([\theta, \alpha, r, d]).
- Start by creating symbolic variables.
- Create the matrix, preferably converting all values to radians unless they are already numeric.
- Enter the matrix and angle type as 'r' in the
DH_HTM()
function. Make sure to download all the necessary functions mentioned for this to work.
- Cheers! You've successfully solved for the Transformation Solutions.
