Question 1.
What is a 2-DOF robot used for?
Show hintHide hint
Think of how many joints it has.
Question 2.
Define Forward Kinematics.
Show hintHide hint
It’s about going from joints to positions.
3Question 3.
What does 2-DOF stand for?
- Two Degrees of Freedom
- Two Directions of Force
- Two Dimensions of Functionality
Show hintHide hint
Remember the independent movements in a plane.
4Question 4.
Is a SCARA robot used in assembly operations?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about where most robots are found in factories.
Question 5.
A SCARA robot needs to reach a specific point on an assembly line with limits on movement due to space. Considering its joint types and movements, how would you determine the required joint angles?
Show hintHide hint
Sketch the robot’s workspace and visualize the reach.
Question 6.
Design a simple assembly task for a 6-DOF manipulator. What considerations must be taken into account for both FK and IK?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the next steps once the end position is determined.
