Denavit Hartenberg Convention

1. The Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) convention provides a systematic method to describe the geometry of serial manipulators and establish reference frames for each link. 2. It defines a coordinate frame for each link using four parameters: link twist (α), link length (a), joint offset (d), and joint angle (θ). 3. The D-H transformation matrix expresses the position and orientation of one reference frame relative to the previous using these four parameters.

Link Coordinate Frames


Assign Link Coordinate Frames:
To describe the geometry of robot motion, we assign a Cartesian
coordinate frame (Oi, Xi,Yi,Zi) to each link, as follows:
establish a right-handed orthonormal coordinate frame O 0 at
the supporting base with Z0 lying along joint 1 motion axis.
the Zi axis is directed along the axis of motion of joint (i + 1),
that is, link (i + 1) rotates about or translates along Zi;

Link and Joint Parameters


Joint angle i : the angle of rotation from the Xi-1 axis to
the Xi axis about the Zi-1 axis. It is the joint variable if joint i
is rotary.

di

Joint distance : the distance from the origin of the (i-1)


coordinate system to the intersection of the Zi-1 axis and
the Xi axis along the Zi-1 axis. It is the joint variable if joint i
is prismatic.

ai

Link length : the distance from the intersection of the Z i-1


axis and the Xi axis to the origin of the ith coordinate
system along the Xi axis.

Link twist angle : the angle of rotation from the Zi-1 axis
to the Zi axis about the Xi axis.

Transformation between i-1 and i


Four successive elementary transformations are
required to relate the i-th coordinate frame to the (i1)-th coordinate frame:
Rotate about the Z i-1 axis an angle of i to align the X i-1
axis with the X i axis.
Translate along the Z i-1 axis a distance of di, to bring Xi-1
and Xi axes into coincidence.
Translate along the Xi axis a distance of ai to bring the
two origins Oi-1 and Oi as well as the X axis into
coincidence.
Rotate about the Xi axis an angle of i ( in the righthanded sense), to bring the two coordinates into
coincidence.

Transformation between i-1 and i


D-H transformation matrix for adjacent coordinate
frames, i and i-1.
The position and orientation of the i-th frame coordinate
can be expressed in the (i-1)th frame by the following
homogeneous transformation matrix:
