Robot arm simulation using 3D software application with 3D modeling, programming and simulation support

Abstract

This paper present a new robotics simulator, completely based on Blender 3D and Python as scripting language. The simulation of robot works smoothly with six degree of freedom implemented within it, as the end effector starts to pick the object and to place it, all the links shown their rotation which definitely shown the movement mimics the real movement of robotic arm. The simulation was done with key frame animation and game engine simulation and comparison made relatively to the result obtained.
