The HDT arm has 14 degrees of freedom (DOF). Especially, 3 DOFs, 3 DOFs, 1 DOFs, 3 DOFs, and 4 DOFs are located in a torso, a shoulder, an elbow, a wrist, and a hand, respectively.

^BODY PART ^DOFs ^
| Torso | 3 |
| Shoulder | 3 |
| Elbow | 1 |
| Wrist | 3 |
| Hand | 4 |
| Total | 14 |

===== Coordinate Frames of the HDT Arm =====

First of all, I consider 10 DOFs except the hand's DOFs.

===== Standard DH parameters of the HDT Arm =====

Standard DH parameters and link lengths are shown in tables.

\\

===== Verification of the DH parameters =====

I verify the DH parameters with a Matlab robotics toolbox. We can download its toolbox from [[http://petercorke.com/wordpress/toolboxes/robotics-toolbox | this website]].
