    Challenge defining these DH parameters

    Dear all, I am momentarily designing a robot arm and I will use the Denavit-Hartenberg convention to model my arm (see picture). The problem I have, however, is that I cannot seem to define the robot arm in the parameters of a, d, alpha and theta. It could be that my coordinates are not...

    I How to find force parameters if you know the solution?

    Hello folks. Normally if you have two variables and you want to know their relationship, you can plot them to get an idea of the equation that might relate them. If you see a straight line you can use the least squares method to find the best equation. You can use this method for polynomials...

    Parameters of a non-standard second-order transfer function

    For a standard second-order system, its transfer function is G(s) = ω2/(s2 + 2ζω + ω2) where ω is the natural frequency and ζ is the damping ratio. But for a non-standard second-order transfer function, G(s) = (2s + 1)/(s2 + 2s + 5), what are its natural frequency and damping ratio? Thank you!

    A Why does the Lie group ##SO(N)## have ##n=\frac{N(N-1)}{2}## real parameters?

    When we have a Lie group, we want to obtain number of real parameters. In case of orthogonal matrices we have equation R^{\text{T}}R=I, that could be written in form \sum_i R_{i,j}R_{i,k}=\delta_{j,k}. For this real algebra ##SO(N)## there is ##n=\frac{N(N-1)}{2}## real parameters. Why this is...
