Table 1 DH parameters for the forward kinematics.

From: Autonomous object tracking with vision based control using a 2DOF robotic arm

Joint-1

 Link Length (\(a_1\))

2.3 inches (length from base to Joint-1.)

 Link Twist (\(\alpha _1\))

90° (since \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) are perpendicular)

 Link Offset (\(d_1\))

1.15 inches (distance from joint-1 to joint-2, along z-axis)

 Joint Angle Offset (\(q_1\))

Rotates about \(z_0\) (pan movement)

Joint-2

 Link Length (\(a_2\))

2.1 inches (length from Joint-2 to the end-effector.)

 Link Twist (\(\alpha _2\))

0° (since \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) are parallel)

 Link Offset (\(d_2\))

1.15 inches (distance from joint-2 to end-effector, along z-axis)

 Joint Angle Offset (\(q_2\))

Rotates about \(z_1\) (tilt movement)
