Simulation Research on Motion Trajectory of PUMA 560 Manipulator Based on MATLAB

In this paper, the mechanism and kinematics of the six degree of freedom joint manipulator PUMA560 where contains the forward kinematics, inverse kinematics and trajectory planning problems of PUMA560 are analyzed by the standard D-H method, and the forward and inverse kinematics transformation formula is derived. The manipulator was modeled with Robotics Toolbox, and the forward kinematics, inverse kinematics solutions and trajectory planning were simulated which can obtain the required data in MATLAB. This paper studies the changes of the main kinematic indexes of the robot in the process of operation, which intuitively reflects the motion state of each rod and end working part of the robot, and provides a theoretical basis for the specific development and control strategy of the manipulator.
