Method For Determining Possible Positions Of A Robot Arm
First Claim
1. A method for limiting possible positions of a robot arm of a robot, wherein the robot arm comprises a frame, numerous links disposed successively, which can move in relation to one another with respect to axes, and drives for moving the links, exhibiting the following method steps:
- Definition of a target position and target orientation in space of a robot arm or a tool center point assigned to an end effector attached to the robot arm, to which a reference coordinate system having polar coordinates is assigned.Determination of the potential possible positions of the frame of the robot arm in space and in the polar coordinates of the reference coordinate system, based on the geometry of the robot arm, such that the tool center point can assume the defined target position and target orientation.

Abstract
The The invention relates to a method for determining possible positions of a robot arm of a robot. The robot arm comprises a frame, numerous links, disposed successively, which can move in relation to one another, with respect to axes. First, a target position and target orientation in space for a robot arm or a tool center point assigned to an end effector attached to the robot arm, are defined, to which a reference coordinate system having polar coordinates is assigned. Subsequently, potential possible positions of the frame of the robot arm in space and in the polar coordinates of the reference coordinate system are determined on the basis of the geometry of the robot arm, such that the tool center point can assume the defined target position and target orientation.
