Design, Analysis and Optimization of 6 Dof Robotic Arm

The main objective of this paper is to design, analyse and optimize a stationary 6-axis pick and place robotic arm. Motive here is to reduce the risk factor involved physically in pick and place operations. An available 4 axis robotic arm is taken as reference and is modified to six axis robotic arm with an intention to increase the flexibility and to reduce cost by shape optimization. The model of robot is established using the solid works software and finite element analysis is done. Payloads and gravity are applied for analysis and the strains, stresses and deformations are calculated.
