Question 2:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Which displacement vector correctly shows the displacement from frame 0 to frame 1?
Question 3:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Which displacement vector correctly shows the displacement from frame 0 to frame 1?
Question 4:  How can we combine displacement vectors to find the complete displacement vector from the base frame to the end-effector frame?
Question 6:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram which displacement vector correctly shows the displacement from frame 0 to frame 1?
Question 7:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram which displacement vector correctly shows the displacement from frame 0 to frame 1?
Questions 8, 9, and 10:  Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Find the displacement vector from frame 0 to frame 1.  Then, assume that the joint angles and link lengths are as shown below.  What is the X, Y, Z position of the end-effector?  Round each answer to two decimal places.
Undergraduate/Graduate Questions (both undergraduates AND graduates should answer these questions):
Questions 11-13: Shown here is a kinematic diagram.  Find the complete homogeneous transformation matrix from the base-frame to the end-effector frame.  Then, assume that the joint variables and the link lengths are as shown below.  What is the X, Y, Z position of the end-effector in the base-frame? You may use any combination of hand calculations and Python computing to find the answer.  Round each answer to one decimal place.
Question 14:  Shown here is the same kinematic diagram as in questions 11-13, except now I have added an arrow showing the direction of a spray paint spray.  When both angles are set at 90 degrees, which direction will the paint spray?
Question 15: For the case in qusetions 11-13, what is the value of the projection of the X2 axis on the X0 axis?  Round to two decimal places.
Question 1: Which of these displacement vectors says that the displacement of frame 3 relative to frame 2 in the Y2 direction is 4?
