AIM: - Introduction of Robo Analyzer Software.

➢ Introduction: -
✓ RoboAnalyzer® is a 3D model-based software that can be used to teach and learn
the Robotics concepts. It is an evolving product developed in Mechatronics Lab,
Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi, New Delhi, India.

✓ Its development started under the guidance of Prof. S.K. Saha in order to support
the learning/teaching of the topics covered in his book "Introduction to
Robotics" published by Tata McGraw Hill, New Delhi (First Edition in 2008 and
Second Edition in 2014) and also brought out in Mexico (2009 in Spanish), China
(2010) and Singapore (2010).

✓ Virtual Robot Module, a part of RoboAnalyzer, has been developed as an


application which has joint and Cartesian motion. It has also been made as a
COM server, using which one can integrate VRM with MATLAB, MS Excel and
other applications that has a COM interface. It also has been integrated
with Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB by Prof. Peter Corke of QUT, Australia.

✓ Mathematics involved in the study of robotics, e.g., forward and inverse


kinematics etc. is initially difficult to understand by students and same is the case
by a teacher to convey the essence of mathematics of robotics to the students.
This is due to fact that, for example, forward and inverse kinematics involve 3D
transformations etc. It is also to be noted that the industrial robots are
represented using Denavit and Hartenberg (DH) parameters which are difficult
to perceive and visualize in 3D. RoboAnalyzer aims to ease out the above
difficulties for students and teachers. In essence learn/teach the physics of
robotics with the joy of RoboAnalyzer animations before attempting to learn the
mathematics of robots, as covered in the books of Robotics, for example,
"Introduction to Robotics" by S.K.Saha.
