ABSTRACT

Robot simulation means simulation of the robot’s kinematic and dynamic characteristics by using computer visualization and object-oriented systems. It helps researchers to understand the posture and stop of the robot within the workspace. In this way, people can reasonably design the kinematic scheme and control algorithm. In Matlab simulation, users can directly see the operating results, find out the shortcomings and deficiencies in time and modify or refine them. By solving the problem in the process of manufacturing and running when designing the robot, we can avoid accidents and unnecessary losses when operating the entity robot directly. In this paper, in the Matlab environment, we simulate the PUMA 560 robot by using the Toolbox Robotics toolbox. By analyzing the problem of the robot’s dynamic and kinematic characteristics, we obtain a good method to analyze the robot control.
