Interactive Robot Statics

      

Run a 3 DOF Robot in end- effector space using an inverse kinematics program.  Move to see where singularities exist and its motion capabilities. 

Planar 3R Model

RobotStatics.exe

Visual C++ OSCAR Code

Instructions:

  1. RoboWorks must be installed on your computer if not go to Software for instructions.
  2. Click on Planar 3R Model and download the RoboWorks file to your computer. Do not open this file directly from the Web, but first download and save it on your computer and then open it in RoboWorks.  It will not run if you save it under a different name than the one given.
  3. Start RoboWorks.  Click on File in the top left of the window.  Then click on Open and select the "Robot Statics Planar 3R.scn" file  you downloaded to your computer.
  4. Download the RobotStatics.exe.
  5. In RoboWorks select Animation -> From IPC.  
  6. To rotate, pan or zoom the view of the 3D model hold down the right mouse button on the RoboWorks window and select 'Interactive Mode->Rotation, Translation, or Zooming' and then move the cursor.
  7. Open the Robot Statics Executable (RobotStatics.exe).  Follow the instructions in the program. 
  8. You can also download the OSCAR source code used to develop this application.
