Popis: This article follows a detailed description of development and validation for the direct kinematic model of six degrees of freedom articulated arm robot - Kawasaki FS10E model. The development of the kinematic model is based on widely used Denavit-Hartenberg notation, but, after the initial parameter identification, the mathematical algorithm itself follows an approach that uses the quaternion number system, taking advantage of their efficiency in describing spatial rotation - providing a convenient mathematical notation for expressing rotations and orientations of objects in three-dimensional space. The proposed algorithm concludes with two quaternion-based relations that express both the position of robot tool center point (TCP) position and end-effector orientation with respect to robot base coordinate system using Denavit-Hartenberg parameters and joint values as input data. Furthermore, the developed direct kinematic model was validated using the programming and offline simulation software Kawasaki PC Roset.
