A planar robot arm is constructed by using a rod of length 3 anchored at the origin and two telescoping rods whose respective lengths l2 and l3 may vary between 1 and 2 units as shown in Figure 8.7. Show that the set of states of this robot arm may be described by a smooth parametrized 5- manifold in R6. (See Exercise 2.)
Study Guide: CS Exam 1 Computer system: software and hardware Hardware: physical equipment that consists of 5 parts 1. Input devices: where programs and data are entered (e.g. keyboard, mouse, touch screen) 2. Central processing unit (CPU): executes instructions such as calculations, comparisons and movement of data (computers may have one or more). Also ALU, registers and LI cache. 3. Primary storage/main memory: data is stored temporarily during processing (erased when turned off or logged off). 4. Output devices: monitor (soft copy) or printer (hard copy) that shows output. 5. Auxiliary/secondary storage: where programs and data are stored permanently. Software: collection of programs that allows the har
