Q

Define accuracy and repeatability

A

Accuracy - how close the manipulator can come to a given point within it’s workspace
Repeatability - how close the manipulator return to a previously taught point.

Q

What is steady state error?

A

SSE is defined as the difference between the input command and the output of a system as the limit goes to infinity(when the response has reached SS)

Q

What is a singularity

A

A singularity signifies a lost degree of freedom.

In kinematics, singularity points have infinite velocity (very high velocity in practice)

Q

What is dextrous workspace?

A

(A subset of the reachable workspace) consists of points that the manipulator can reach taking into consideration orientational reachability of the end-effector

Q

What is a PID controller?

A

PID controller is a linear control loop feedback mechanism that continuously calculates error of the desired point and measured point and applies correction based on (Proportional Integral and derivative terms)

By changing PID parameters, you can change response of the system without changing mechanical parameters!

Q

Why do we need negative feedback? (Adjusts for error)

A

Negative feedback subtracts from the input signal therefore continually changing the gain to counteract the change of the output.

  • orthogonal
  • Det = +1
17
Q

What are 3 definitions of a rotational matrix?

A 
Rx = [(1,0,0),(0,c(),-s()),(0,s(),c())]
Ry = [(c(),0,s()),(0,1,0),(-s(),0,c())]
Rz = [(c(),-s(),0),(s(),c(),0),(0,0,1)]
18
Q

What is a redundant robot?

A

A kinematically redundant robot has more DOF than needed for a given task. (more than 6 DOF)

19
Q

What is controller resolution?

A

Controller resolution is the smallest increment of motion that the controller can sense.

24
Q

What is a world coordinate frame?

A

an established fixed coordinate system which all objects including the manipulator are referenced.

25
Q

What is an absolute coordinate frame?

A

a frame that is established that relative to the world coordinate system by some angle or translation

26
Q

What is a jacobian?

A

Defines the dynamic relationship between two different representations of a system (like end-effector position and joint angles).

27
Q

What is relative velocity?

A

is measured in a reference frame that itself is at rest or moving with respect to the absolute frame

28
Q

What is absolute velocity?

A

is measured only in a frame of reference that is at absolute rest.

29
Q

How are linear and angular velocities related?

A

Linear velocity is the cross product of radius vector and angular velocity. (v = w x r)

A
  • Dirty
  • Dangerous
  • Dear (expensive)
  • Dull (boring)
