In this advanced technological world, robots play an important role in achieving the tasks of a human. Robots have become an essential aspect of the industry, need well-trained engineers to optimize the robot manipulator. To obtain the optimum elements of the work to be carried, a systematic approach required to design, simulate, and analysis of customized robots. This paper presents the design, simulation, and analysis of a 6-axis robot for n-number of applications using solid works simulation and RoboAnalyzer visualization software. The SolidWorks software is used to design the robot and analyzed using the SolidWorks Simulation Xpress and motion study. The robot visualization software: RoboAnalyzer used to analyze the robot kinematics and dynamics. This 3-dimensional software’s help to improve the skills and knowledge of industrial robots. Robot design, simulation, and analysis require the use of 3-dimensional software in the event of an invention needed to develop the high-quality design and improved speed where the industry needs.

ABSTRACT:The Robot kinematics deals with the position of links which are connected with the help of joints, which gives the position and orientation of every link present in the robot manipulator to place the end-effector to the required target. A kinematic model of the anthropomorphic robot manipulator was developed using multibody dynamic software called MSC. Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems (ADAMS) which represents the human arm. The shoulder joint is considered as spherical joint and elbow joint as a revolute joint. Kinematic equations and Software model is developed to compare and verify the working of the robot manipulator. The Workspace of the robot manipulator was traced to show the maximum and minimum working area of the manipulator. The workspace of the robot manipulator is traced in MSC. ADAMS to show the working region of the manipulator.

The main content in the kinematics of machinery course includes kinematic analysis of machines and mechanisms and forms an integral part of the mechanical engineering curriculum. The conventional way of teaching students about the machine mechanisms is either by lecture notes/PowerPoint presentations/blackboard sketches finds it challenging to get an overall concept. Students find it challenging to understand the movements of machine parts due to a lack of visualization. The course can be taught in much lucidly and persuasively way by physical models or virtual mechanisms in a software ecosystem. There are several commercial and free software exists that can be used to complement the teaching and learning. In this paper, more straightforward, and more intuitive CAD software is reported, which has a very simple to use interface and a swift learning curve. A user can appreciate why and how the mechanism works by simulation of various mechanisms through CAD software.

The development of modern technology in engineering education inspires students to acquire new knowledge and skills to understand the course better. The current teaching is derived from the conventional teaching methods with innovations and advanced technology-enabled techniques. Projectbased learning (PBL) is a technique to solve challenging authentic, curriculum-based, and interdisciplinary problems. The PBL determines the effectiveness of learning for both teachers and students. The Outcome-Based Education system (OBE) is a student-centric teaching and learning methodology in which the course delivery and assessment are planned to achieve stated objectives and outcomes. This paper attempts to develop the course content, delivery, and evaluation through an OBE and validate the Manufacturing Technology laboratory course's effectiveness using a PBL approach.The experiments and course projects are designed and delivered to design and fabricate a table clamp at the end of the course, demonstrating thorough, indepth knowledge about the course acquired through conduction and practices. Students designed and fabricated the table clamp through the PBL approach, evidenced through the feedback received against the course design and delivery effectiveness. By applying PBL techniques for the Manufacturing Technology laboratory course, students acquired new knowledge, complex problemsolving, communication, and higher-order thinking skillsThe whole exercise also enabled the course instructor to achieve program outcomes 3, 4, and 5.
