A 3D simulation environment for kinematic task of the PUMA 560 robot

Abstract

Robots with articulated morphology has acquired major importance because of representing la basic application to scale to highly articulated chains. Hence, this paper is focus to present how manipulate kinematic chains with six degrees of freedom, in particular way the model associated to PUMA 560 robot. Techniques to compute forward and inverse kinematic are described. Besides, a platform to simulate on three dimension space is presented as a important tool to verify the movements programmed on the robot. Interesting results from inverse kinematic applications are shown.
