T3

T3[i->j, {wi, pi}, {wj, pj}]
defines a list of input arguments of DefineKinematicPair function for the spatial translational joint definition between i and j links.
T3[i→j, {a, d, , }
defines input arguments of DefineKinematicPair function for translational joint definition between i and j links using {a, d, , } Denavit-Hartenberg variables.
  • The kinematic pair is defined between i and j links where i and j are integers or strings.
  • If i (j) is integer the link name is generated as "linki" ("linkj") respectively.
  • The position and orientation of the joint markers are defined with {wi, pi} and {wj,pj}.
  • wi and wj are defining the axis vector of joint , while pi and pj defines the center point of the joints. The coordinates are referring the local reference coordinate system of link i and j respectively.
  • The axis vector of the joints could be specified with a list of coordinate or with string { "x" , "y" , "z" } representing the corresponding axes of the local reference frame.
  • The following options can be given:
JointVariableAutomaticspecifies the symbol of the joint variable.
JointNameAutomaticspecifies the name of the kinematic pair.
JointLimitsAutomaticdefines the validity domain of the joint variable(s).
JointPoseAutomaticdefines the offset value(s) of the joint variable(s).
Parameters{}List of the simple parameters used in the kinematic pair's definition ( e.g {l0→10,l1→3} ).
CandidateLoopVariablesAutomaticList of driving variable that will be used as loop variables in case of loop closing kinematic pair definition.
WorkingPrecisionMachinePrecisionWorkingPrecision is an option for various numerical operations which specifies how many digits of precision should be maintained in internal computations.
AccuracyGoalAutomaticAccuracyGoal is an option for various numerical operations which specifies how many effective digits of accuracy should be sought in the final result.
MaxIterationsAutomaticMaxIterations is an option that specifies the maximum number of iterations that should be tried in various built-in functions and algorithms.
