DH Algorithm - Direction of X

Jun 03, 2012 0 Replies

In Denavit-Hartenberg Algorithm, the way to assign x-axis is as follows.



Select Xk to be orthogonal to Zk and Zk-1



Considering the case where Zk and Zk-1 intersect, I can chose 2 opposite directions of Xk which are orthogonal to Zk and Zk-1. Which is the right direction? Or is it arbitrary?
