Abstract

AbstractIn this article two alternatives are introduced as measures for the position and orientation space of 6 DOF manipulators which include considerations of joint limitations and scale. The cumulative freedom of the end effector, considered as a rigid body in 3D space, can thus be quantified. These alternative measures are shown to be equivalent for manipulators with spherical wrists. Applications are presented and the new concepts are illustrated by an example.
