An Efficient Computational Method of the Jacobian for Robot Manipulators

  • Conference paper
Advances in Robot Kinematics

Abstract

A more efficient method for computing the Jacobian matrix for robot manipulators is developed. Compared with the existing methods, the number of required numerical operations is greatly reduced, making the proposed technique the fastest or the least expensive one for any general N degrees-of-freedom manipulator.
