Analysis and application of 2 D.O.F robotic arm

摘要

This paper presents an in-depth examination of 2 degree of freedom robotic arm which moves in a plane. Firstly, a simulation model of this arm is generated on MATLAB. Simulation analysis performed on the model is discussed later for range and accuracy calculations. A hardware model is rendered through it which can perform movements as per requirement. It is refined for real-time operation, moreover it offers high precision for correct positioning on theory plane. The robotic arm is controlled using an arduino microcontroller which is interfaced with MATLAB. This paper concludes with some possible applications of 2 D.O.F robotic arm mechanism based on type of end-effector attached to the robotic arm.
