Abstract

Collaborative robots (cobots) are known for their friendly nature with humans. Cobots are expanding their applications in various fields, such as assembly, handling, inspection, welding, and dispensing. The kinematic model of an industrial robot is based on the standard Denavit–Hartenberg parameter. In this study, forward kinematic equations of a cobot are developed, and the position of the cobot is calculated for three different sets of joint configurations. The values produced by the developed equations are verified by building the simulation model in RoboAnalyzer. The analytical results are compared with the results produced by the simulation tool. The simulation results showed that the values are identical and consistent with analytical results for the specified joint configuration.
