Synopsis:

We will explain and demonstrate techniques for modelling, analyzing and identifying robot kinematics. We will explain more advanced principles of the representation of motion in space and the robot descriptions suitable for identification of kinematic parameters from measured data. We will explain how to solve the inverse kinematic task of 6DOF serial manipulators and how it can be used to identify its kinematic parameters. Theory will be demonstrated on simulated tasks and verified on a real industrial robot.
