Modelling, Control and Simulation of a SCARA PRR-Type Robot Manipulator

Abstract

In this study, a SCARA Prismatic-Revolute-Revolute-type (PRR) robot manipulator is designed and implemented. Firstly, the SCARA robot is designed in accordance with the mechanical calculations. Then, forward and inverse kinematic equations of the robot are derived by using D-H parameters and analytical methods. The software is developed according to the obtained Cartesian velocities from joint velocities and joint velocities from Cartesian velocities. The trajectory planning is designed using the calculated kinematic equations, and the simulation is performed in MATLAB VRML environment. A stepping motor is used for the prismatic joint of the robot, and servo motors are used for revolute joints. While most of the SCARA robot studies focus on the Revolute-Revolute-Prismatic-type (RRP) servo control strategy, this work focuses on PRR-type and both stepper and servo control structures. The objects in the desired points of the workspace are picked and placed to another desired point synchronously with the simulation. Therefore, the performance of the robot is examined experimentally.

Research on Online Virtual Energy-Saving and Environment-Friendly Building Design and Implementation Based on VRML

“…The research concluded that BIM + VR jointly assisted planning and design became a direction and the promotion and optimization of VR to BIM would certainly promote its application and development in the field of design teaching and research [8]. Soya-slan et al reflected on the limitations of VR technology in architectural design teaching by analyzing the current situation in the domestic architectural design field [9]. There are many limitations in today's VR technology, such as high hardware cost and inability to be well compatible with architectural design software platforms.…”

Efficiency Comparison between Robotic Manipulator Configurations for Trajectory/Path Tracing

“…[15] As each joint has a coordinate frame, a transformation matrix can be computed for each link. Therefore, the transformation from the base frame to the end effector can be shown as: Eq.1 [16] The method used to compute the forward kinematics of each of the three robots is the Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) convention. [17] The notation allows the robots to be converted to a set of transformation matrices, which lets positions of the joints be easily translated to cartesian coordinates by establishing a set of rules on assigning frames.…”

Mechatronics Design and Robotic Simulation of Serial Manipulators to Perform Automation Tasks in the Avocado Industry

“…Facilities of the agro-exporting company Camposol were replicated using equipment such as crates, protective enclosures, smooth and roller conveyors provided by CoppeliaSim, along with those designed in SolidWorks, including the SCARA T6 and UR10 robots and the avocado [48], [49] The designs generated in SolidWorks were then saved in URDF format, including their respective reference systems following the Denavit-Hartenberg method, to enable their visualization in the CoppeliaSim simulation environment to create a highly realistic virtual environment [50][51][52].…”
