This paper presents the cinematic and dynamic performances of a new 5-DOF industrial robot structure that has been conceived, optimized and modeled using the finite element method. Finite element analysis has helped to find optimal solutions for locating kinematic elements, sizing the 5 robot modules accordingly, and improving the kinematicmechanical behavior of component elements. The material used in the manufacture was T6061 aluminum. Index Terms-Forward and inverse kinematics, static finite element analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
