Robot Simulation Based On ADAMS And MATLAB

With the continuous development of virtual prototyping technology, more and more people are expecting not only to create a virtual physical model, but also to establish good control model. With the help of virtual experiments and tests, we can realize the potential problems in the aspect of design in the primary process of the research and development of the product, and find the solutions so as to improve the efficiency of product development.With the appearance of the problems in the development of current virtual prototyping technology, this thesis aims to discuss these problems from the aspects of the joint simulation of ADAMS and MATLABD. This thesis will make use of the advantages of both, and establish two joint programs, and take the example of controlling the behaviors of the robot to testify the feasibility of the method. The thesis has completed the following task:(1) With the advantage of the virtual model based on the ADAMS software to reflect the actual physical model and the advantage of MATLAB to help users build complex controlling model immediately, the design of integrating the two programs emerges.(2) With the Lagrange method, the dynamic model of two degrees of freedom manipulator is established, the trajectory planning task is set, the joint simulation of ADAMS and MATLAB platform is also set up, and expatiate the joint simulation of ADAMS and MATLAB.(3)Expatiate the structure and parameters industrial robots of PUMA560, and with the explanation of the tasks, the trajectory planning of the PUMA560 robot is found out. In addition, combine the two aspects of building a virtual physical model in ADAMS and calculatng the data in MATLAB, then go on the simulation and analysis.This paper takes the robot as example, and discusses two different joint simulation methods of the ADAMS and MATLAB. The results show that the application of joint control scheme is intuitive and effective in the complex system control.
