Homework #6 - Manipulability and Path Planning

Due: Dec. 4, 2008.

Manipulability

Consider the three-link elbow manipulator shown in Figure 4.5.
  • Derive an expression for the manipulability of this manipulator (w.r.t. linear velocity only).
  • Characterize the set of configurations for which the manipulability is maximized.

    Path Planning

    Problems 5-1 --- 5-12 (inclusive), and 5-15.
