Development and Validation of the Kinematic Analysis of a Low Low-Cost 4-Link Robot

Abstract:

In this paper, we describe the development and validation of the kinematic analysis of a low low-cost 4-link robot the first of its kind in Nigeria. This study comprises the following key tasks which describe the methodology for the robot development: design and kinematic analysis of the robot mechanism, construction/fabrication and assembly of the robot, system development (computer interface with the robot) and experimental validation of the robot control. The goal of this robot is to pick an object and drop the object in a specified position. The algorithm to control the robot on the computer was coded in Java and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink platform. The robot was experimentally verified and the results are presented in this paper. The experimental results show that robot development is feasible in Nigeria. The contribution of this study will enhance and promote robot control and development in Nigeria and developing third world countries.
