This paper presents a detailed solution for a six joint manipulator which has a rotation at mid-forearm rather than a third wrist axis. Details are given indicating how real joint angles relate to those modeled by the more abstract kinematics. All degeneracies are considered and methods for handling them are given. The paper provides a complete tutorial for kinematic modeling with a specific arm.EngComputer ScienceKINEMATICS OF AN ELBOW MANIPULATOR WITH FOREARM ROTATION: THE EXCALIBURunknown1988-324-3610.11575/PRISM/30892
