Resumo:This dissertation delineates the prototyping, development, and integration of an educational robotic manipulator, specifically aimed at mitigating the financial and practical barriers that hinder hands-on robotics education. Robotics encompasses a multidisciplinary field requiring mechatronics, programming, control systems, and physics proficiency. Therefore, direct access to robotic hardware is critical for effective learning. Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of industrial-grade robots restricts many educational institutions from offering students comprehensive, real-world training experiences. To address this challenge, the work is focused on creating a cost-effective robotic manipulator platform for the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, School of Technology and Management. This platform enables students to engage with the practical aspects of robotics without relying on high-cost industrial robots. The project’s objectives included the design of a custom robotic gripper, the implementation of kinematics and path-planning algorithms for the manipulator, the modeling and control of servomotors, and the integration of the robot within a physics simulation environment. Each component was developed, focusing on accessibility and adaptability, providing a realistic yet affordable alternative to industrial systems. This integrated robotic platform offers students valuable hands-on learning experiences in kinematic chains, motion control, and time restrain problem-solving, thereby effectively bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in robotics.
