With the development of information technology, many applications of robots are
increasingly being applied to support research, learning, and teaching. This
paper mainly investigates the modeling and simulation of a robotic arm with 3
degrees of freedom (dofs) for different applications. First, Kinematics and
dynamics model of the robot based on the standard Denavit Hartenberg (D-H)
modeling method, where the forward kinematics of robot is analyzed and
computed to obtain by using the inverse kinematics, and then the solution of the
robot dynamics is derived. Second, a CAD model of the robot is designed on
CATIA software to convert to MapleSim software to simulation and control.
Final, numerical simulation is presented to display results. This work provides a
potential basis for the realization of the robotic arm in the industrial, education,
and research field, which is of great significance for improving manufacturing
efficiency and support teaching and research in the robot field.
