Robotics Theory Basics
Small lessons from building a collaborative robot. Explore the mechanics behind joint loads and motion, one concept at a time.
Learn how force and its perpendicular distance from a joint create torque. Estimate the gravity load on a robot arm.
Understand how mass distribution changes resistance to angular acceleration. Start with a simple point-mass model.
Connect rotation angle, speed and time. Convert rpm into radians per second before calculating acceleration.
Calculate the torque required to change rotational speed. Combine inertia and gravity using consistent directions.
Compare moves with and without a constant-speed segment. Read velocity and acceleration graphs separately.
