Building a Delta Robot: Kinematics Calculations
Designing a robot is time consuming and investing in parts is expensive. Hardware starts with hard, right? I needed a tool to help me design my delta robots. I wanted something that would let me play with the numbers and instantly see how it would affect the size, accuracy, and power of my machines. Since nothing like it existed, I wrote a Javascript program to do it.
Tweak your robot dimensions and see how it will affect your work envelope and your precision. Then adjust your motors and check that the forward and inverse kinematics match.
Edit 2014-02: Added more detailed explanations so it’s a bit easier to use.
