Real Time simulation of a Robotic Arm Using Solidworks For Conception And Matlab Simulink Simscape for Simulation
Using Matlab simulink + solidworks to simulate 7 dof robot forward kinematics
This section shows the main steps I followed to achieve the goal.
-
first use solidworks to draw the links then assemble them together.
-
Install matlab simulink third guide to solve forward
-
use solidworks to export robot.xml file.
In matlab at the command window smimport('robot.xml').
-
Adapt The simulink slx file to what you need
-
finally create robot interface control in matlab Grphical User Interface.
-
MATLAB (tested with r2016A )
-
SolidWorks (tested with Version 2022 )
