Design and Development of a Manipulator for Educational Robotics

摘要

This article aims to present the development and construction of two prototypes of a robotic manipulators with two degrees of freedom constituting the body and a third degree of freedom being the end-effector. The research goal is illustrate how a more practical development helps to increase the motivation and the learning process of the students. In the class the content of the discipline was transmitted by structuring the development of a project, each one of the projects phases were then applied with the students. To measure the viability of the method a survey were done with the students. The Different types of end-effector shows the use of educational Robotics platform geared towards learning and applications of robotic manipulators concepts in a educational environment.
