Robot Singularities & how to find them | Robotics 101

This video covers one of the fundamental concepts in robotics- the singularity of robots. It is where the robot loses its ability to move in one or more directions. Generally, when designing robots, the designer needs to be aware of what the robot can and cannot do. If the robot is made to go from point A to point B where it encounters a singularity while doing so, we are going to have erratic results (the actuators might saturate, lots of errors, etc). 00:00 - Velocity ellipsoid recap 02:30 - Definition of Singularity 03:30 - Finding out where the singularities lie 08:10 - Let's do an example 09:56 - Another example to really jam in the concept 🌟 If you haven't the last video on the Jacobian matrix, I would highly encourage you to check that out first:    • How to find Jacobian Matrix? | Solved Exam...   ⏩ Watch the next video where we discuss how to figure out how much torques/forces are being experienced at the actuators:    • Forces & Torques of a robot | Robotics 101   ------ This video is part of the Robotics 101 tutorial series which covers kinematics and modeling of 2D & 3D robots. This tutorial lesson series starts from the basics of robotics (assuming no prior knowledge) and gradually builds on in bite-sized videos of 10 minutes or less. By following along, you will soon become extremely good in the kinematics and modeling aspects of robots. And these will help you to design and build robots. Here's what we will cover in this video series: 1. Co-ordinate Transformation for 2D & 3D robots 2. Homogeneous Transformations for 2D & 3D robots 3. Forward Kinematics 4. Inverse Kinematics 5. Robotic wrists (end-effector) 6. End-effector Velocities and Jacobians 7. Singularities of robots 8. Gimbal Locks 9. Forces & Torques I will be uploading 1 video per week.
