Abstract
This paper introduces a classification of the inverse kinematics solutions (or robot postures) of six degrees-of-freedom serial robots with a geometry based on or similar to Universal Robots’ arms. The solution of the inverse kinematics problem is first presented briefly, and the equations required to classify the robot postures(branches) based on the joint coordinates are then introduced.
