Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the robot arm kinematics which is very important for the movement of all robotic joints. Also they are very important to obtain the indication for controlling or moving of the robot arm in the workspace. In this study the kinematics of ROB0036 DFROBOT Arm will be accomplished by using LabVIEW. Finding the parameters of Denavit-Hartenberg representation, the kinematic equations of motion can be derived which solve the problems of automatic control of the 6 revolute joints DFROBOT manipulator. The kinematics solution of the LabVIEW program was found to be nearest to the robot arms actual measurements.
