We mainly focus on three problems include: the forward kinematics, inverse kinematics and trajectory planning. At the same time, we simulate each problem above, observe the movement of each joint and explain the reason for the selection of some parameters. Finally, we verify the feasibility of the modeling method.Key words:PUMA560 robot; kinematics; Robotics Toolbox; The simulation;I.IntroductionAs automation becomes more prevalent in people’s life, robot begins more further to change people’s world. Therefore, we are obliged to study the mechanism of robot. How to move, how to determine the position of target and the robot itself, and how to determine the angles of each point needed to obtain the position. In order to study robot more validly, we adopt robot simulation and object-oriented method to simulate the robot kinematic characteristics. We help researchers understand the configuration and limit of the robot’s working space and reveal the mechanism of reasonable movement and control algorithm. We can let the user to see the effect of the design, and timely find out the shortcomings and the insufficiency, which help us avoid the accident and unnecessary losses on operating entity. This paper establishes a model for Robot PUMA560 by using Robotics Toolbox,and study the forward kinematics and inverse kinematics of the robot and trajectory planning problem.II.The introduction of the parameters for the PUMA560 robot PUMA560 robot is produced by Unimation Company and is defined as 6 degrees of freedom robot. It consists 6 degrees of freedom rotary joints (The structure diagram is shown in figure 1). Referring to the human body structure, the first joint（J1）called waist joints. The second joint（J2）called shoulder joint. The third joint （J3）called elbow joints. The joints J4 J5, J6, are called wrist joints. Where, the first three joints determine the position of wrist reference point. The latter three joints determine the orientation of the wrist. The axis of the joint J1 located vertical direction. The axis direction of joint J2, J3 is horizontal and parallel, a3 meters apart. Joint J1, J2 axis are vertical intersection and joint J3, J4 axis are vertical crisscross, distance of a4. The latter three joints’ axes have an intersection point which is also origin point for {4}, {5}, {6} coordinate.

Using the Denavit-Hartenberg notation, you need 4 parameters (d a ,,,θα) to describe how a frame (i ) relates to a previous frame(1-i )T ii 1-. For two frames positioned in space, the first can be moved into coincidence with the second by a sequence of 4 operations:1. Rotate around the 1-i x axis by an angle 1-i α.2.

Jacobian can be seen as a mapping from Joint velocity space to Operational velocity space.3.5 The trajectory planning of robot kinematicsThe trajectory planning of robot kinematics mainly studies the movement of robot. Our goal is to let robot moves along given path. We can divide the trajectory of robots into two kinds. One is point to point while the other is trajectory tracking. The former is only focus on specific location point. The latter cares the whole path.Trajectory tracking is based on point to point, but the route is not determined. So, trajectory tracking only can ensure the robots arrives the desired pose in the end position, but can not ensure in the whole trajectory. In order to let the end-effecter arriving desired path, we try to let the distance between two paths as small as possible when we plan Cartesian space path. In addition, in order to eliminate pose and position’s uncertainty between two path points, we usually do motivation plan among every joints under gang control. In a word, let each joint has same run duration when we do trajectory planning in joint space.At same time, in order to make the trajectory planning more smoothly, we need to apply the interpolating method.Method: polynomial interpolating [1]Given: boundary condition⎩⎨⎧==ff θθθθ）（）（t 00 (1.3)⎪⎩⎪⎨⎧==∙∙0t 00）（）（f θθ(1.4)Output : joint space trajectory ()t θ between two points()t θ=332210t a t a t a a +++ （1.5）Polynomial coefficient can be computed as follows:⎪⎪⎪⎩⎪⎪⎪⎨⎧--=-===)(2)(30023022100θθθθθf f f f t a t a a a (1.6)IV. Kinematic simulation based on MATLAB∙How to use linkIn Robotics Toolbox, function ’ link ’ is used to create a bar. There are two methods. One is to adopt standard D-H parameters and the other is to adopt modified D-H parameters, which correspond to two coordinate systems. We adopt modified D-H parameters in our paper. The first 4 elements in Function ‘link ’ are α, a, θ, d. The last element is 0 (represent Rotational joint) or 1 (represent translation joint). The final parameter of link is ’mod’, which means standard or modified. The default is standard. Therefore, if you want to build your own robot, you may use function ‘link ’. You can call it like this:’ L1=link([0 0 pi 0 0],'modified'); ∙The step of simulation is:Step1: First of all, according to the data from Table 1, we build simulation program of the robot (shown in Appendix rob1.m).Step2: Present 3D figure of the robot (shown in Fig4). This is a three-dimensional figure when the robot located the initial position (0i =θ). We can adjust the position of the slider in control panel to make the joint rotation (in Fig 5), just like controlling real robot.Step3:Point A located at initial position. It can de described as ]0,0,0,0,0,0[=A q . The target point is Point B. The joint rotation angle can be expressed as ]0,392.0,0,7854.0,7854.0,0[--=B q . We can achieve the solution of forwardkinematics and obtain the end-effecter pose relative to the base coordinate system is (0.737, 0.149, 0.326) , relative to the three axes of rotation angle is the (0, 0, -1). The ro bot’s three -dimensional pose in B q is shown in Fig 6.Step4: According to the homogeneous transformation matrix, we can obtain each joint variable from the initial position to the specified locationStep5:Simulate trajectory from point A to point B. The simulation time is 10s. Time interval is 0.1s. Then, we can picture location image, the angular velocity and angular acceleration image (shown as Fig 8) which describe each joint transforms over time from Point A to Point B. In this paper, we only present the picture of joint 3. By using the function ‘T=fkine(r,q)’, we obtain ‘T ’ a three-dimensional matrix. The first two dimensional matrix represent the coordinate change while the last dimension is time ‘t’.-1-0.8-0.6-0.4-0.20.20.40.60.81-1-0.8-0.6-0.4-0.20.20.40.60.8X zhaoshibox y zFig 4Fig 5-1-0.50.51-1-0.500.51-1-0.500.51XYZzhaoshibox yzFig 6Fig 7012345678910-1-0.50time t/sa n g l e /r a d012345678910-0.2-0.10time t/sv e l o c i t y /（r a d /s )012345678910-0.0500.05time t/sa c c e l e r a t i o n /（r a d /s 2)Fig8V The problem during the simulation∙The reason for selection of some parameterThe parameter of link: From kinematic simulation and program, you can see that I set certain value not arbitrary when I call ‘link ’. That is because I want the simulation can be more close to the real situation .So; I adopt the parameter of puma560 (you can see it from the program) and there is no difference between my robot and puma560 radically.The parameter of B q : When I choose the parameter of B q , I just want to test something.For example, when you denote the parameter of ‘B q ’ like this‘]0,392.0,0,7854.0,7854.0,0[--=B q ’, you want to use the function ‘fkine(p560, B q )’ to obtain the homogenous function ‘T ’, then, you want to use ‘ikine(p560,T)’ to test whether the ‘B q ’ is what you have settled before. The result is as follows:B q =[0 -pi/4 -pi/4 0 pi/8 0]; T=fkine(p560, B q );⎥⎥⎥⎥⎦⎤⎢⎢⎢⎢⎣⎡---=100032563.038268.009238.01500.00107317.09238.003826.0T B q =ikine(p560,T)B q =[0 -pi/4 -pi/4 0 pi/8 0]Actually, not all of the parameter B q can do like this. For example, when you try B q =[pi/2,pi/2,pi/2,pi/2,pi/2,pi/2] , the answer is not B q itself.VI.
