Design and control of the Six-DOF robotic manipulator

This paper presents the building process and simulation of a robotic manipulator. Robotic manipulators are used in various scenarios, such as industry and agriculture. It would be of particular interest to learn how to systematically design and control a manipulator to follow a planned trajectory. Hence, a CAD model is developed in this paper. There is a rough finite element analysis for two cases in this study, which could easily find out how the product reacts to real-world forces and vibration. In order to solve real-world problems safely and effectively, this effort intends to build the mechanical design of the manipulator by SOLIDWORKS and simulate trajectory tracking capability using MATLAB.
