Control of Mechanisms and Robots using LabVIEW and SolidWorks and Arduino

Abstract

The objective of this research is to design Cad-Models of various robotic arms and mechanisms and simulated them through LabVIEW using Arduino as Controller. Thus we have developed a virtual prototyping system which can demonstrate the movement in cad model by varying the voltage using Arduino instead of making actual prototype. The G-code was designed using LabVIEW software and Interface through Arduino. Thus we are able to achieve the interface of LabVIEW, SolidWorks and Arduino together for various robots and mechanisms.
