Virtual Experiments Design for Robotics Based on V-REP

Abstract

Compared with traditional robot laboratory, virtual robot laboratory integrates programming, modeling and controlling, which can assist related learning of robot courses more efficiently and directly under the condition of saving time and equipment cost. A concept of virtual robotics laboratory based on virtual robot platform V-REP is proposed in this paper. The laboratory is divided into coordinate transformation, positive and inverse kinematics, dynamics and trajectory planning. At the same time, virtual teaching tasks of comprehensive course design for robotics is also proposed to improve students' capacity for designing virtual robots comprehensively and improve teaching quality.
