Design and Implementation of a 3-DOF Robot for Surface Polishing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This project involves the design and implementation of a three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) articulated robot to perform polishing tasks on an acrylic whiteboard. The system employs a theoretical-mathematical analysis to describe the robot, including forward and inverse kinematics, velocity and force calculations, as well as the generation of controlled trajectories. The Denavit-Hartenberg method is used to model the robot, allowing the definition of its parameters, such as the angles and displacements of the joints. Additionally, forces and torques applied to the joints are analyzed to ensure the proper execution of the polishing task. In the physical implementation, the robot uses stepper motors and servomotors controlled by an Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller. Experimental results showed that the robot is capable of performing the task effectively, although some failures were observed due to electronic components.
