Kinematic Model of a Desktop Robot Manipulator with 5 Degrees of Freedom

Abstract

Robotics became available to everyone and is becoming a part of almost all aspects in our life. If earlier robotic complexes were produced mainly for industry and were expensive, large, and cumbersome to design and use, today a number of compact and inexpensive robots have been created. A desktop robot manipulator is a full-fledged assistant for the housekeeping or small business companies which can perform routine operations: carrying objects over a short distance, tightening screws and nuts, soldering PCBs, cutting products, 3D printing, drawing on any surface. To solve problems involving work in open space without additional artificially created obstacles, the manipulator needs only 5 degrees of freedom. The present article describes a kinematic model for a desktop robot manipulator, which solves the problems of process positioning a desktop robot manipulator with 5 degrees of freedom. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing.
