A Software Package for Computer-Aided Robotics Education
نویسنده
چکیده
The kinematics of robot manipulators is a corner stone in the study of robotics in general. The computational complexity of the kinematics quite often prevents robotics instructors from using robots of general structure in their illustrative examples and assignments. The software discussed in this article, developed from recent research to support an undergraduate course in robotics, offers computational relief to educators and students in the study of robot manipulators with revolute joints and renders their use as classroom examples possible . Five or six revolute joints robot manipulators of general architecture can be solved easily with the help of this software.

متن کاملCad & Robotics in Architecture & Construction
327 The problems of architectural education in general and CAD education in particular are discussed. The paper suggests that the computing requirements of architectural practice are different to those of architectural education and that much of the software used in schools of architecture is not used in an educationally structured way. A number of proposals for the educational use of computers...

متن کاملGeometric Constraint Solving and Automated Geometric Reasoning (TRACK PROPOSAL TO SAC 2006, DIJON, FRANCE)
We propose to organize at SAC 2006 a track dedicated to the recent trends in the domain of geometric constraint solving (GCS) and automated, or computer aided, deduction in geometry (ADG). Geometric problems are within the heart of many theoretical studies and engineering applications. For instance a large amount of problems from geometric modeling, computer graphics, computer vision, computer ...
متن کاملExCAPE Annual Report of Activities
ExCAPE proposes a novel approach to software design—computer augmented program engineering, in which a programmer and an automated program-synthesis tool collaborate to generate software that meets its specification. A programmer expresses her insights about the design using synthesis artifacts of different kinds such as programs that may contain ambiguities, declarative specifications of high-...
