Question:
Demonstrate the following knowledge and understanding:
Describe and calculate the positions of the joints of a robot arm including motion transmission of mechanical structures.
What am I required to do in this assignment?
1.Draw the sketch of a 6-joint standard industrial robot arm
2.Specify the link length and link twist for all links, and justify your specifications
3.Specify the joint angle and link offset for all joints, and justify your specifications
4.Assign frames to all joints and explain the principles you follow when assigning the frames
5.Given the diagram below, find out the position of the origin of Frame {4} in Frame {1}, and provide the procedures and calculations of your findings. Ensure you describe the displacement and rotations and how they are transformed.
Is there a size limit?
The report should not exceed an equivalent of 1500 words.
What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from UIF)
1.Identify joints and links of the given mechanical structures
2.Identify the components for motion transmission in a given structure.
3.Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the frame assigning approach you propose in task 4 – whether if they can make calculation in task 5 easier.
How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?
1.Correctly complete all tasks
2.Fully explain/justify your work in tasks 2 to 6.
How does assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?
This assignment is related to the unit in the following ways:
1.Understanding of mechanical components of robots
2.Understanding the structure of a traditional robot arm
3.Understanding the motion transmission and the skills to figure out the transmission
4.Understanding the ways to work out positions of all parts of robot arms.
How will my assignment be marked?
Your assignment be marked according to the threshold expectations and the criteria on the following page.
You can use them to evaluate your own work and estimate your grade before you submit.
