Modeling and Simulation of a

Camera-man Robot

Project Outline
Conceptualization
Solid Modeling using Solidworks 2012
Assembly Sequencing Using Autodesk
Publisher 2013
Model Simulation using Matlab R2012

Conceptualization
(Structure)

6-axes Robotic Arm

Camera Device on End Effector
Can Replace A Human Photographer
Equals Human Working Capability

Conceptualization
(Purpose)

Elimination of Human Efforts

High Stability During Picture
Taking/Recording
High Quality of Work
Equals Human Working Capability

Solid Modeling
(Components)

Solid Modeling

(Assembly Sequencing)

Solid Modeling
(Difficulties)

Incorrect Reference for Assembly

Subsequent Locking of a movement
axis

Solid Modeling
(Modifications)

Reference: Base
(No!)

Reference: Base Holder

(Thats the Way!)

Simulation
(Algorithm)

Convert .Sldasm to .xml

Import .xml to .mdl
Modify using Simmechanics blocks
Simulation Environment
Final Simulation

Simulation

(Initial Simulink Model)

Simulation

(Difficulties)
Self-Creation of Weld Joints

Simulation

(Modifications)

Elimination of Inactive joints

Introducing Revolute joint
Sine Wave Input
Transport Delays

Simulation

(Final Simulink Model)

Simulation
(Features)

Transport Delay = 15sec for each joint

Each axis gets activated after 15sec
Sine wave input
Hence, Oscillatory motion
