A kinematic notation for lower-pair mechanisms based on matrices
This paper introduces a standard method for representing the kinematics of mechanisms using homogeneous transformation matrices, known as the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) parameters.
Using four parameters (link length, twist angle, joint offset, and joint angle) for each joint, the authors define a 4x4 transformation matrix that relates successive joint positions and orientations.
The DH method became a worldwide standard for modeling robot arm kinematics and is used in all industrial and research robots.
The DH method is not well-suited for non-serial mechanisms (e.g., closed-loop robots) and requires adaptations.
DH parameters are used in all robot simulation and control software. In all three projects, they are used for kinematic modeling of arms and fingers for path planning.
