I need to no when you created rigid body tree as DOF2_ARM why do you choose a Sims cape from file DOF2_Test1 to work in RST ?

[@LearningOrbis]

RST needs the robot defined in a RigidBodyTree format. You can define the robot through code in a RigidBodyTree format or you can design a CAD model and ask RST to extract the RigidBodyTree from the CAD model. The later method is great for creating a robot as well as its CAD model. That is why I used SimScape to design the CAD model of the robot and extracted RigidBodyTree from it using importrobot function of the RST.

[@shaunpx1]

Awesome videos you have made understanding robotics with simulink and matlab very simple!

[@LearningOrbis]

Glad you think so!

[@anthinikou3114]

Sorry but on 14:28 i cannot see the left information on mine? What am i doing wrong?

[@LearningOrbis]

If you are seeing the CAD model in Mechanics Explorer then most probably the left-side tree has been minimized or its window has been shrinked so that you cannot see it. If you cannot see the CAD model entirely then email me your simulink file and then I can guide you in a better way.

Sir is this model can be applied to a permanent magnet dc motor and gear boxes. Also I didnt understand should I use dc machine or dc motor. Could you help me with this?

[@LoveLilyS]

Use this method,if i want to use dynamic model,such as inertia matrix/gravity/centrifugal included in SimScape Toolbox?

[@LearningOrbis]

Yes, definitely. This method utilizes physical system modeling and therefore inertias, and forces are considered.

I am making an x-axis travel stage, but I am trying to simplify it do just a plate on top of a rectangular prism. How could I use a Prismatic Joint in the X-Axis direction or use a Rectangular Joint that limits the movement to only the X-Axis Direction. If you have a video on rectangular Joints that would be helpful as well.

Suppose the second link we hand to incline it on base at certain degree. Which block should we use to define the angle?

[@LearningOrbis]

Rigid Transform Block will in this case have the rotation portion as well that will make the next link incline with respect to the previous.

[@VictorLI-r8p]

good job!sir,thanks for your videos so much , My course project has been saved😘

[@LearningOrbis]

Glad to hear that

[@marcogarutti998]

Is there a way to put an upper and lower limit on the movement of a rotoidal joint NOT from the previous link but from world reference? I need to put a limit of 30 degrees from X axis on the joint before the end effector

[@LearningOrbis]

30 degrees with respect to the world frame's x-axis? You have to do that programmatically, there is not such option in the joint.

[@kanishkakeshara1629]

Sir when it comes to UR5 robot simulate like this should we consider real height of base and links??

[@LearningOrbis]

If you don't then position of the end effector will be with respect to the base frame normally attached at the center middle of the base.

[@SufyanQureshi-n8p]

Awesome sir ! can i know after making this robot how to control it by potentiometer with the help of nucleo 767 ?

[@LearningOrbis]

I have no idea about Nucleo 767, but I suppose it is some microcontroller. If that's so, and if Nucleo 767 has compatibility with MATLAB, then you may attach a potentiometer with analog input pin of Nucleo 767 and read it in MATLAB. Convert the reading to degrees or radians and provide it to the joint of the robot.

[@souravhawaladar3870]

Is there similar video for 6 axis Robotic arm?

[@LearningOrbis]

Developing a 6 axis robot is quite lengthy process, instead there are several built-in robots that can be loaded into Simulink and used. You can see kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSrdXmVaceUgJI where I have loaded a 7 DOF robot into MATLAB and solved its Forward Kinematics.

I use Variable Brick Solid for the link, and it seems cannot use 'importrobot' to load the rigidBody Tree. Do you have any solutions?

[@LearningOrbis]

Variable brick solid is not a rigid type link, therefore it cannot be used with Robotics System Toolbox. Use a simple solid.

sir.., can you explain (25-26 ) minutes briefly. I mean, after completing the robot design before implementing the trajectory plan.

[@LearningOrbis]

For using functions from Robotics System Toolbox we need RigidBodyTree of our robot. You can make this RigidBodyTree through programming or you can make a CAD model of your robot using SimScape and then use 'importrobot' function which will extract RigidbodyTree from the CAD model for you. I have done the later, that is made a CAD model robot using SimScape and then used 'importrobot' function to extract the RigidBodyTree.

[@LearningOrbis]

That will be a difficult task to do. In fact it won't be difficult it will be too lengthy... You may actuate all joints either turn by turn or in combination and keep track of the end-effector. It's better to use SolidWorks for that. You can create the CAD model of the robot in SolidWorks and move its end-effector by dragging the end-effector to different locations to see where the end-effector can reach.
