The n degree-of-frccdom robot whose set of geometric parameters are (Oj', Oj'. dj\ 6j'» rj')
is defined as the inverse of the robot (Oj, otj, dj, 9j, rj) if the transformation matrix ^n(oj'» Oj",
dj\ Gj\ rj') is equal to ^n'k<^j»«). ^y ®j» fj)-
Table A2.1 gives the geometric parameters of a general six degree-of-freedom robot.
Table A2.2 gives those of the corresponding inverse robot. Indeed, let us write the
transformation matrix ^ 5 under the following form:
1 5 05 05 ds O5 rs
' 6[ 06 06 d6 66 '"6 1
The parameters of Table A2.2 result from comparing equations [A2.1J and [A2.2]. The
corresponding elementary transformation matrices are denoted by J'^Tj' such that:
