== Study List ==
=== Lecture 1 ===

==== Book ====
General Manipulator: Robot Arm, using Revolute joint, Prismatic joint
- Robot Arm: base, link, joint, end-effector
- Revolute joint: Rotation movement, 1 Degree of Fredom(DoF)
- Prismatic joint: Linear movement, 1 DoF
- Denote joint type using ε(0 for revolute, 1for prismatic)

Discription of body1 (9 parameters)
- Link location: 3 points (Each point has 3 parameters)

Discription of body2 (6 parameters)
- Body orientation: 3 parameter
- Point on the body: 3 parameter
=> Robot arm(n:links, 1: base) has n DoF

Transformation
- Pure Rotation
- Pure Translation
- General Tasformation
- Inverse Transformation

Configuration Representation
There is no universial agreement in the field of robotics as to what is the best orientation representation.
Because each representation hase advantages and shortcomings
- Direction Cosines: 
- Euler angle representation: ZYX, angle(α, β, γ)
- Fixed angle representation: XYZ, angle(γ, β, α)
- Inverse of an orientation representation

Robot arm
- Manipulator: Set of link through the joint
- First link: Base
- Last linke: End-Effector

==== Book: Direct Kinematics ====
Previous
- Independent of the structure of the manipulator

Introduction
- A set of parameters specific to each manipulator
- ex) rotation, translation, link of manipulator
- Forware Kinematics
- Inverse Kinematics

Link Description
- Manipulator: Consist of a chain of links from base
- Consecutive links are connected by joints which exert the degree of freedom.

D-H Parameter
- link length(a): length along the common normal from axis (i-1) to axis i
- link twist(α): angle between this parallel line and axis (i-1)
- link offset(θ): distance alont the line on axis i between the common normal for link (i-1) and common normal for link i
- joint angle(d): angle between the two common normal for link (i-1) and common normal for link i
- Revolute joint: joint angle(variable), link offset(constant)
- Prismatic joint: joint angle(constant), link offset(variable)
- a, α: describe link
- d, θ: describe the link's connection

Conventions for First and Last Link
- Once robot structure is set link length & link twist is determined.
- a(i) and α(i) depend on joint axes i and i+1
Axes 1 to n: determined => a(1), a(2), ,,,, a(n-1) and α(1), α(2), ,,,,a(n-1)
- d(i) and θ(i) depend on 

Attaching Frames to links
- ex1) RRR (Revolute-Revolute-Revolute) Manipulator
- ex2) RPRR (Revolute-Prismatic-Revolute-Revolute) Manipulator
