Dynamics of 3 Links Articulated Robotic Manipulator: A Computational Model

Abstract

Dynamic computation include the process of determining the forces and energies that would cause a manipulator to move certain distance at a given angle. The complex nature of available materials has made this process difficult. The dynamics equation for a 3-links robotic manipulator was designed using the Lagrange archetypal. The result shows that the energies (including Potential and Kinetic Energy) as well as the torques required to cause motion at each joint can be computed separately. The torque equations represents the dynamic models required.
