Simulation of Robot Arm Movement Gaming Project in C++

Explanation

  1. Constants:
    • PI: Mathematical constant π.
    • DEG_TO_RAD: Conversion factor from degrees to radians.
  2. Function calculateEndEffectorPosition(double angle1, double angle2, double length1, double length2, double& x, double& y):
    • Purpose: Calculates the position of the end-effector (tip) of the robot arm based on joint angles and segment lengths.
    • Parameters:
      • angle1, angle2: Angles of the two joints in degrees.
      • length1, length2: Lengths of the robot arm segments.
      • x, y: Output parameters for the position of the end-effector.
    • Implementation:
      • Converts angles from degrees to radians.
      • Computes the end-effector position using the forward kinematics equations for a 2-segment arm:
        • x = length1 * cos(angle1) + length2 * cos(angle1 + angle2)
        • y = length1 * sin(angle1) + length2 * sin(angle1 + angle2)
  3. Main Function:
    • Segment Lengths: Defines lengths for the robot arm segments.
    • Angle Input: Prompts the user to enter the angles for the two joints.
    • Position Calculation: Calls calculateEndEffectorPosition to compute the end-effector position based on the input angles.
    • Result Display: Prints the position of the end-effector with two decimal places of precision.

Usage

  • Robot Arm Simulation: Models the movement of a robot arm with two segments based on joint angles.
  • Forward Kinematics: Demonstrates the calculation of the end-effector’s position using trigonometric functions.
