In this example a Robot Arm was created, which illustrates a method to control a robot arm using inverse kinematics.

Controls

  • Camera: Press and hold the left mouse button and move the mouse to rotate the camera around the arm.
  • Arm: To move the pointer, use the arrow keys to navigate it along the x-z-plane, and W and A to move it along up and down (along the y-axis).
  • Pincer: Press O to open/close the pincer.

Inverse kinematics

Inverse kinematics is an algorithm in which a target point is reached in the coordinate system by rotating individual parts that are attached with joints. For a more detailed description of how this is done, please open the GitHub-link. In the example is a Readme that explains exactly how everything is calculated.
