Description
Summary:The objective of this project is to simulate a virtual 3D model and design an easy Graphical User Interface program for the students for their understanding of basic concept in robotics called kinematics. It also serves as a teaching aid to the students’ interest. This involves understanding of Denavit-Hartenberg algorithm, kinematic parameters and forming of transformation matrices. It also includes technique of applying homogeneous coordinate transformation matrices in the single robot work cell. The graphical software to view the virtual 3D model is RoboWorks and the programming software used to control the model and provides guidance to the students is LabView.
