The A-matrices describe the precise transformation between each two successive manipulator links. In the previous articles, it was described how the transformation can be described using local coordinate frames and the 4 Denavit-Hartenberg parameters. The parameters describe 2 translational and 2 rotational degrees of freedom, which correspond to 4 transformations, that are applied successively to transform coordinate frame with respect to frame like shown below.
The A-matrices now are used to combine the 4 successive transformations of the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters in one matrix. According to the figure above and following the rules for combinations of transformations, the combined A-matrix is determined as follows:
