% Forward kinematics is the problem of solving the Cartesian position and
% orientation of a mechanism given knowledge of the kinematic structure and
% the joint coordinates.
%
% We will work with a model of the Puma 560 robot
mdl_puma560
% Consider the Puma 560 example again, and the joint coordinates of zero,
% which are defined by the script
qz
% The forward kinematics may be computed using fkine() method of the
% p560 robot object
p560.fkine(qz)
% returns the homogeneous transform corresponding to the last link of the
% manipulator
% fkine() can also be used with a time sequence of joint coordinates, or
% trajectory, which is generated by jtraj()
t = [0:.056:2]; % generate a time vector
q = jtraj(qz, qr, t); % compute the joint coordinate trajectory
about q
% then the homogeneous transform for each set of joint coordinates is given by
T = p560.fkine(q);
about T
% where T is a 3-dimensional matrix, the first two dimensions are a 4x4
% homogeneous transformation and the third dimension is time.
%
% For example, the first point is
T(:,:,1)
% and the tenth point is
T(:,:,10)
%
% Elements (1:3,4) correspond to the X, Y and Z coordinates respectively, and
% may be plotted against time
subplot(3,1,1)
plot(t, squeeze(T(1,4,:)))
xlabel('Time (s)');

ylabel('Y (m)')
subplot(3,1,3)
plot(t, squeeze(T(3,4,:)))

ylabel('Z (m)')
% or we could plot X against Z to get some idea of the Cartesian path followed
% by the manipulator.
