Forward Kinematics of Robot Arm in MATLAB

In this video, we do the forward kinematics of an industrial robot arm that has 6 degrees of freedom in MATLAB. First, we start off by writing the proper homogeneous transforms that relate the robot's end-effector (gripper) frame in the base frame, and then we code it up in MATLAB.

Hopefully, the video was easy to follow. I thought about making the robot in MATLAB too so that I could animate it up but that would have made the video longer so I decided not to. If you guys want, I can always do another video on how to make and animate a robot in MATLAB.

------
This video is part of the Robotics 201 tutorial series which covers kinematics and modeling of 3D robots.

This tutorial lesson series starts out from the very basics of robotics (assuming no prior knowledge) and gradually builds on in bite-sized videos of 10 minutes or less. By following along, you will soon become extremely good in the kinematics and modeling aspects of robots. And these will help you to design and build robots.

Here's what we will cover in this video series:
1. Co-ordinate Transformation for 3D robots
2. Homogeneous Transformations for 3D robots
3. Forward Kinematics
4. Inverse Kinematics
5. Robotic wrists (end-effector)
6. End-effector Velocities and Jacobians
7. Singularities of robots
8. Gimbal Locks
9. Forces & Torques

I will be uploading 1 video per week. If you find these helpful, don't forget to share and subscribe!
