6DOF kinematic analysis and 6DOF dynamic analysis are two key concepts in robotics, which involve the motion and mechanical behavior of the robot respectively.
1.Kinematic analysis:
Definition: Kinematics studies the motion behavior of robots, that is, describes the relationship between the position, speed and attitude of the robot's end effector, and the relationship between these movements and the robot's joint variables.
Task: The main task of kinematics analysis is to determine the attitude and position of the robot, and the conversion from joint space (joint angle) to work space (position and attitude of the end effector). This helps plan and control the robot's movements to achieve the desired task.
2. Kinetic analysis:
Definition: Dynamics studies the mechanical behavior of robots, that is, describing the forces and torques exerted on the robot, and how these forces and torques affect the movement of the robot.
Task: The main task of dynamics analysis is to study the motion equations of the robot, including factors such as the robot's inertia, gravity, external forces, and joint torques. This helps to understand the dynamics required when a robot performs a task, and to design control algorithms to achieve the desired motion.
Overall, the difference between kinematic and dynamic analysis can be summarized as:
Kinematics focuses on position and motion: Kinematics mainly focuses on the geometric and kinematic characteristics of the robot, such as the position, speed and attitude of the end effector. It provides a framework for describing robot motion, but does not address issues of forces and torques.
Dynamics focuses on forces and torques: Dynamics focuses on the forces and torques exerted on the robot and how these forces and torques affect the robot's movement. It provides information about the behavior of the robot in terms of mechanics, thereby helping to design control systems to cope with the effects of external forces.
In practical applications, kinematics and dynamics analysis are often used in combination to fully understand and control robot behavior.
