Abstract: Engineering mechanics involves the development of mathematical models of the physical world. Robotic Mechanisms addresses the motion of kinematic chains or mechanical systems. MATLAB is a modern tool that has transformed mathematical methods because MATLAB not only provides numerical calculations but also facilitates analytical or symbolic calculations using the computer. The intent is to show using an R(rotation)-R(rotation)T(translation)R(rotation) chain the convenience of MATLAB for theory and applications in robotics. The main distinction of the study from other projects is the use of MATLAB for symbolic and numerical applications. This project is intended primarily for use in dynamics and robots courses. ...
