Robotic Arm Lab

Kinematics, degrees of freedom, coordinate frames, and control — every robotic arm concept, made interactive.

// Interactive Labs

All Robotics Labs

Explore robotic arm kinematics, degrees of freedom, and inverse kinematics.

Robotics Lab

Degree of Freedom Lab

Explore degrees of freedom in robotic arms.

Robotics Lab

Forward Kinematics Lab

Calculate end-effector position from joint angles.

Robotics Lab

Inverse Kinematics Lab

Find joint angles for desired end-effector position.

Robotics Lab

Jacobians Lab

The Jacobian matrix maps joint velocities to end-effector velocities.

Robotics Lab

Robotic Arm Parts

A robotic arm uses a controller to command actuators that move joints and links to position the end-effector.

Robotics Lab

Roll Pitch Yaw

Roll, pitch, and yaw represent the three rotational movements that determine the orientation of a robotic arm's wrist in 3D space.

Robotics Lab

Coordinate Frames

Coordinate frames are reference systems fixed to each joint and link to calculate the precise position and orientation of the robotic arm.
