Robot Kinematics and Dynamics Analysis Based on Virtual Prototyping Technology

Virtual prototyping is a new technology with the rapid development of computer technology. This paper put forward a systematic kinematics and dynamics analysis method based on virtual prototyping technology to simulate multi-body dynamics of robot arm. After the design requirements were introduced, the conceptual design of robot arm was then proposed, and the kinematics and dynamics analysis method was present with the simulation results. The kinematics and dynamics analysis of a robot arm was given as an example, which demonstrates that this method is obviously helpful for product design.
