Figure 2. A three-link planar arm and its frame assignments
Consider the planar arm described in Figure 2:
i) Determine the DH parameters of the three joints and derive homogeneous transformation matrices - T1, T2, T3, and T3-1 (5pts)
ii) Use Symbolic MATLAB to derive the forward-pose kinematics solution TH (10pts)
iii) Calculate the forward-pose kinematics results via MATLAB for the following input cases: θ1=30°, θ2=60°, θ3=30°, L1=4m, L2=3m, and L3=2m (5pts)
iv) Derive the inverse kinematics of the planar arm, that is, given x, y, θ, find the solutions of θ1, θ2, θ3 (10pts)
