A Model and Simulation of a Five-Degree-of-Freedom Robotic Arm for Mechatronic Courses

摘要

Abstract-- In this paper an analysis, a model and simulation, and the kinematics of a 5-DOF (Degree of freedom), are presented; this is oriented to give an approach to new educative methodologies. Different problems about learning robotics are covered with this proposal such as found in text books and lectures. An easy-to-implement software has been developed in order to teach the movements of an industrial arm. As a result, an implementation in a laboratory based on PC is taught where the student may play with certain values of a mechatronic system.
