This document discusses forward and inverse kinematics examples of different types of robot manipulators including 2R, 3R, and 3P manipulators. It provides examples of solving forward and inverse kinematics for specific manipulator types, including:
1) PUMA robot with both concurrent and non-concurrent wrists. The inverse kinematics is solved to find the joint positions given the end effector position and orientation.
2) SCARA manipulator with RRP pairs as arms. The forward and inverse position calculations are demonstrated.
3) Cylindrical and spherical robots with 3 DOF non-concurrent wrists. The procedures for obtaining the inverse kinematics solutions are described.
