Design of a robotic arm

Abstract

Cancer and tumor detection is a very important field in today’s medical profession. The medical procedures such as radiology, biopsy, surgeries, etc. require paramount precision. Technologies such as robotic arms have come into play these days to minimize the pain, post-operation and also to make the surgeries and procedures much more cost-effective. A robotic arm has been experimentally designed that takes the coordinates as input and reach the target point. The main aim of this project was to increase the precision and accuracy of the robotic arm that has been experimentally designed. The objective of the project was to find the deviation of the end needle caused due to the functioning of the robot and due to its self-weight. Designing of the robotic arm was done in Solid works and analysis was carried out in ANSYS. The results for stress and strain were obtained for static structural analysis. The vibrational analysis was done in comparison to the previous model.
