What was built

    Two practicals. The first uses the Robotics Toolbox for direct and inverse kinematics, Jacobians, dynamics and joint trajectories (polynomial and trapezoidal), plus two Simulink models. The second is a planar three-link robot designed in Autodesk Inventor. It has a dynamic simulation with trapezoidal velocity profiles from 0 to 0.6 s. The joint torques from that simulation are used to select motors and gearboxes, with a safety factor of 3.
