2011 GSDAA Finalist: Simulation Software Improves Design Process for Robotic Manipulator
2011 Robotics Finalist
Simulation Software Improves Design Process for Robotic Manipulator
Author: Lisa Mosier, Square One Systems Design Inc.
Challenge: Developing a platform to test the equations and NI LabVIEW VIs without a fabricated physical test platform after solving our inverse kinematic motion equations for our six-axis manipulators, and simulating and optimizing the travel of the design as a result of motion performance tests.
Solution: Creating a 3D model in SolidWorks to construct a virtual, physical representation of the six degree-of-freedom (DOF) system, using the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module to design VIs that could run the fabricated system and simulate its capabilities in the CAD model, and developing a fabricated system using an NI cRIO-9024 embedded real-time controller and six NI 9512 modules.
