Integrating SolidWorks, LabVIEW, and Arduino in Robotics Education
| Resumo: | This paper explores the integration of SolidWorks, LabVIEW, and Arduino as a comprehensive and cost-effective approach to teaching robotics to undergraduate students. In scenarios where real hardware is unavailable or prohibitively expensive, this methodology offers significant advantages. SolidWorks enables students to design and simulate robotic components in a virtual environment, fostering a deep understanding of mechanical design and engineering principles. LabVIEW provides an intuitive graphical interface for programming and control, allowing students to develop and test their algorithms. Finally, Arduino, as an open-source hardware platform, bridges the gap between virtual simulations and physical implementation, offering a hands-on experience with minimal financial investment. Together, these tools create a robust educational framework that enhances theoretical knowledge through practical application, encourages innovation, and prepares students for real-world engineering challenges. The paper concludes that this integrated approach not only mitigates the limitations of resource constraints but also enriches the learning experience by providing a versatile and accessible platform for robotics education. |
