We’ve talked Position and Velocity - lets talk about Forces. Specifically Statics.

This chapter covers

  • Introduction of statics

  • Understanding the “Kineto-statics duality”

  • Becoming familiar with the notion of “manipulability”

  • 4.1 defines statics and some basic equations and principles

  • 4.2 gives a definition for Kineto-statics duality and describes the dangers of a singularity in more detail

  • 4.3 describes the equations to find an ellipsoid that describes the motion of a robot within some space
