Design and Optimization of Robot Support Structure for Inverted Operation

Abstract

In this paper we present an new method for optimization of robot structure for inverted operations, as rapid development is seen in the fields of robotics, robots are being designed for different operations. Robots move with higher speeds & create inertia loads, & during emergency operation there is sudden spike in load & the robot support structure needs to accommodate these loads. In this project we are analyze the robot support structure. Robot support structure means the main supportive member which is the base of the robot and it gives support as well as stabilization to the robot. 3D geometry of robot support structure is designed as per dimension in the workbench by using ANSYS 16.0. Upon applying boundary conditions such as robot weight, forces applied to his body and moments applied to the structure of the robot support. Following this, stress analysis, von-misses stress, total deformation of the structure of the robot support.
