According to the method, a mechanical arm joint coordinate system is built according to an improved DH parameter method, four structural geometrical parameters between adjacent joints of the mechanical arm are determined, a homogeneous coordinate transformation matrix of two adjacent coordinate systems is calculated. For a given pose matrix of a tail end coordinate system O6, animproved newton iteration method, namely a Levenberg marquardt iterative algorithm is adopted, the inverse kinematics solution of the joint coordinate system is calculated by using a jacobian matrix J, and the six joint rotation angle values theta i which correspond to the pose matrix and meet the precision requirement are obtained. The method overcomes the requirement that a traditional newton iteration method needs to fully rank the jacobian matrix j, the modeling method is simple, clear and effective, the method has the characteristics of being high in solving precision, high in solving speed and simple and feasible in solving process.
