Simulation and Motion Analysis of a Planar Robotic Manipulator Using MATLAB Toolboxes

This study presents the modeling, simulation, and motion control of a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar robotic manipulator using MATLAB’s Simscape and Robotic System Toolbox. The research focuses on designing a simulated robotic arm capable of executing controlled movements using forward kinematics. The proposed approach involves mechanical model, creation, motion analysis, and control kinematics. The proposed approach involves a creation of a model using simscape multibody blocks, motion analysis, and control execution through Simulink. Furthermore, the study explores future advancements and the potential industrial applications of the robotic system.
