Dobot CR3 Hardware User Guide 2 Overview Figure 2.14 Jump mode (1) If the heights of point A and point B are the same with zLimit, the trajectory is shown in Figure 2.15. Figure 2.15 Jump mode (2) 2.11.1.3 ARC (Circular Interpolated Motion) The trajectory is an arc, which is determined by three points (the current point, any point and the end point on the arc), as shown in Figure 2.16.
2.11.2.1 Joint Coordinate System The Joint coordinate system is determined by the motion joints. Figure 2.18 shows the Joint coordinate system of a CR3robot. All the joints are rotating joints. Figure 2.18 Joint coordinate of a CR3 robot Issue V1.3 (2021-07-07) User Guide...

Tool coordinate system which is located at the robot flange without end effector and cannot be changed. And the others can be customized by users. Figure 2.20 shows the default Tool coordinate system of a CR3 robot. R are the orientation data, which are designated by rotating the tool center point (TCP) around the X, Y, Z axes under the default Tool coordinate system.
