DEVELOPMENT AND SIMULATION OF SERIAL ROBOTS USING MATLAB

Ernest-Andrei GROSZ, Marian BORZAN

Abstract


In recent years the term of modularity is more and more present in robotics and mechatronics area and therefore the necessity to have the possibility to easily create and generate modular robots in an easier and faster way, have been increased. The purpose of the paper is to present the possibility to generate and simulate a serial robots environment having up to three robots each with up to three DOF. The proposed method aims to have a MATLAB user-oriented tool in which everyone has the possibility to generate robots, starting from a robotic schematic requested, avoiding the multiple troubleshooting, caused by the need to use multiple environments or having advanced knowledge of programing or specific tools knowledge.
