This paper presents an analytical inverse kinematic (IK) solution for the seven degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) "Restore" robot arm with non-zero joint offsets. We provide two closed-form solutions -the shoulder-elbow-wrist (SEW) IK and the θ 1 -based solution. Both allow self-motion and together they solve the problem of algorithmic singularities within the workspace. Non-zero link offsets require careful selection of shoulder, elbow, and wrist locations. The solution is simple, fast and exact, providing full solution space (i.e. all eight solutions) per pose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
