Forward Kinematics of a Planar 2-Link Arm
mediumnumerical
General
Consider a planar 2-link revolute (RR) arm in the horizontal plane. Link lengths are m and m. The joint angles are (measured from the +x axis) and (measured relative to link 1, i.e. the standard relative-angle convention). The base joint is at the origin.
Using forward kinematics, compute the x-coordinate of the end-effector (the tip of link 2), in meters.
