Workspace
The analysis of the workspace is very important for
the design, selection and programming of robots.
The workspace W is the set of positions and orientations
reachable by the robot end-effector.
The boundaries are defined by the singularities and the
joints limits.
Depending on their configuration and size of their links
and wrist joints, robots can reach a collection of points
called a workspace.Let q be an element of joint space and X be the
corresponding element in the task space.
X=f(@)
The joint domain Q is defined as the set of all reachable
configurations taking into account joint limits.
Q = {4 | Gimin $41 $ dimax V i= 1, ...4n}
The image of Q by the direct geometric model DGM
defines the workspace W of the robot.
