This study examines the system integration of a game engine with robotics middleware to drive an 8 degree offreedom (DoF) robotic upper limb to generate human-like motion for telerobotic applications. The developed architectureencompasses a pipeline execution design using Blender Game Engine (BGE) including the acquisition of real humanmovements via the Microsoft Kinect V2, interfaced with a modeled virtual arm, and replication of similar arm movements on the physical robotic arm. In particular, this study emphasizes the integration of a human “pilot” with ways to drive such a robotic arm through simulation and later, into a finished system. Additionally, using motion capture technology, a human upper limb action was recorded and applied onto the robot arm using the proposed architecture flow. Also, we showcase the robotic arm’s actions which include reaching, picking, holding, and dropping an object. This paper presentsa simple and intuitive kinematic modeling and 3D simulation process, which is validated using 8-DoF articulated robot to demonstrate methods for animation, and simulation using the designed interface.

The kinematics modeling of the robot arm plays an important role in robot control. This paper presents the kinematic model of a three-degree of freedom articulated robot arm, which is designed for picking and placing an application with hand gripper, where a robot has been manufactured for that purpose. The forward kinematic model has been presented in order to determine the end effector’s poses using the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) convention. For inverse kinematics, an algebraic solution based on trigonometric formulas mixed with geometric method was adopted for a 3 DOF modular manipulator taking into account the existence of a shoulder offset. MATLAB software was used as a tool to simulate and implement the motional characteristics of the robot arm, by creating a 3D visual software package under designing a Graphical User Interface "GUI" with a support simulation from robotic Toolbox (Rtb 10.3). Finally, an electronic interfacing circuit between the GUI program and the robot arm was developed using Arduino microcontroller to control the robot motion. The presented work can be applicable for learning the reality interface design methodology of the other kinds of robot manipulators and achieve a suitable solution for the motional characteristics
