im currently still learning how to do Matlab why do i getting Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds. Index must not exceed 6? (line 51) Rob.plot(y(i,:));

@Timothy Ambun - the error message is telling you that there are only 6 elements in y so

for i = 1:1:51
    atj=Rob.fkine(y(1,:));
    jta=transl(atj);
    JTA(i,:) = jta;
    jta=JTA;
    plot2(jta(i,:),'r.')
    Rob.plot(y(i,:));
    plot2 (JTA,'b')
end

since i iterates from 1 to 51, then when i is 7, you will observe this error. You should be able to use the MATLAB debugger to confirm that y only has six items.

Also, why have you chosen 51? How does that relate to anything?

[Timothy Ambun]

okay thank you, i chose 51 because i copied the code from my lecturer and he can run it well. But i have change it to 6 and it work well. Thanks for you explaination.
