Design, Modelling and Manufacturing The Robotic Arm R21

Abstract

This thesis focuses on design, implementation and control of six degrees of (DOF) robotic arm using servo motors to simplify the application of robotic science in CNC (computer numerical control) lap for the students of Sudan university of science and technology. The robot arm designed to work in 0.5 m² workspace as an articulated educational robot, loading on the end effector mass of 2 kg. Perspex extruded acrylic sheets were selected as a material for robotic arm. SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS software are used to modelling and analysis the robotic structure, ARDUINO for control the pulses that move the servo motors. The robot arm manufactured and loaded 2 kg with the end effector.
