Comparative Analysis For Kinematics Of 5-DOF Industrial Robotic Manipulator

Abstract

Abstract This paper gives the kinematic analysis of a 5-DOF industrial robotic manipulator while considering wrist in motion. Analytical solutions have been obtained for forward kinematics and inverse kinematics to accurately position the end-effector of robotic manipulator in three dimensional spaces. For the first time, a hybrid neuro-fuzzy intelligent technique with two different membership functions has been studied and their performances are comparatively evaluated with analytical solutions. An experiment has been performed for a desired trajectory. It is seen that the results for the intelligent technique are reasonably in agreement with experiment. Also, the results obtained highlight the importance of selection of a particular membership function for robotic manipulators of industrial use.
