Designing and Performance-Analysis of a 3 DOF Robotic Manipulator Arm and its Higher Order Integration for 7 DOF Robotic Arm

Abstract

Technology leads to flexible manufacturing and effective industrial automation. In this study, a robotic arm is designed named as bazu to do heavy work and shift material in a precise location. The primary objective of this paper is to develop 3 Degree of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator arm which will be efficient for industrial application; Then to design and implement the ideas in a simulation to integrate the functionalities into 7 DOF robotic arm. A custom-made controller is designed and evaluated by task execution. Finally, by analyzing different user defined work output parameters are analyzed. In addition to that, Dynamic model identification, as well as retrieved feasible parameters, is used for designing the robotic arm.
