More stability in vertical plane and can move faster

58
Q

What is a singularity

A

When a degree of freedom as lost and small speeds might results in high joint velocities

59

63
Q

What is the Lagrange -Euler approach for dynamic

A

kinetic- potentional energy

64
Q

What is Newton-Euler approach for dynamic

A

F=MA or T= IA

65
Q

What is a path?

A

sequence of positions a robot should move to

66
Q

What is trajectory

A

specifies along the path the timings of when the robot is supposed to be at each position

67
Q

Joint space scheme explain

A

use waypoints and inverse kinematics to joint joint angles at each of them, and then generate trajectory of joint angles

68
Q

Operational/Task space scheme explain

A

task points to make trajectory and solves kinematics at each point along line

69
Q

Pros of Task space [2]

Motion is predictable, Easier to handle obstacles

70
Q

Cons of Task space [2]

A

slower execution as iK at every step, actuator motion not guaranteed to be smooth

71
Q

Join space pros [2]

A

Faster execution, actuator motion is smooth and easier to validate

72
Q

Joint space con [1]

A

intermediate points not guaranteed and cant deal with objects
