Description

CAT5 Forward Kinematics

The CAT5 Forward Kinematics block converts joint angles to world coordinates for the CRS Catalyst-5 robot. This block is functionally equivalent to the CAT 5 Joint to World block. The reference frame is shown below:

CAT5 Reference Frame

Input Ports

The joint angles in radians for the five Catalyst-5 joints. The joint angles should be supplied as a 5-vector in order of the joints, i.e., base, shoulder, elbow, wrist pitch and wrist roll.

Output Ports

A 5-vector containing the position and orientation of the robot end-effector. The vector elements represent the X, Y and Z cartesian coordinates of the end-effector in millimeters, followed by the pitch and roll respectively, in radians.

Data Type Support

This block supports inputs and outputs of type double.

Parameters and Dialog Box

CAT5 Forward Kinematics

Toolset Dimension (mm)

Three-element vector taht defines the dimension of the toolset attached to the end effector, if any.
