Methods of Addressing Applications Involving Inverse Kinematics

Learn three approaches to solve inverse kinematics challenges in motion control applications. This application note covers host computer solutions, DMC code implementation, and firmware-based methods for converting 3D Cartesian coordinates to machine-specific axis positions. Includes a detailed 2D robotic arm example with complete mathematical equations and Galil controller programming code for anthropomorphic robots, SCARA arms, hexapods, and medical positioning systems.
