Denavit Hartenberg Parameters: June 17, 2009

The document introduces Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters for representing the geometry of robotic manipulators. It defines the four DH parameters for each link: link offset (bi), joint angle (θi), link length (ai), and twist angle (αi). Frame transformations between successive DH frames are presented using these parameters. Examples of applying DH parameters to specific robot arm configurations are provided, including planar, revolute-prismatic, and spherical robot arms. Key steps like assigning DH frames and calculating the homogeneous transformation matrices between frames are demonstrated.
