Modeling, Design and Static Analysis of Seven Degree of Freedom Articulated Inspection Robot

Abstract:

Every robot is developed for a specific task. To ensure the performance of the Robot before it has implemented to practical application it has to be analyzed using software to avoid unwanted wastage of time and capital. This paper presents the design characteristics and static analysis of the seven degree of freedom articulated inspection robot in nuclear environment. CATIA software is utilized to design the mechanical configuration. To validate the design to be safe, ANSYS software is utilized to perform stress and deflection analysis.
