Modeling of Inverse Kinematic Analysis of Open-Source Medical Assist Robot Arm by Python
Today, the epidemic diseases such as COVID-19 spreads very fast in the globalizing world and lethal effects on human health have had a noticeable effect on the health sector. For this situations, various disciplines have had different studies to minimize the effects of the epidemic. In such cases, it is a separate requirement that the use of the opportunities brought by technology. In this study, the kinematic analysis of the open-source robot arm was especially examined in terms of reducing the workload of individuals working in the healthcare sector. The open-source robot arm is articulated and has 5 degrees of freedom. The kinematic analysis is very important for determination of the working space of the robotic systems. The inverse kinematic analysis was done with Python programming language and the control module was developed to check the analysis. The control module shows the angle values depending on the joints of the robot arm. It is also shown the Px, Py, and Pz positions obtained depending on the position of the end effector in 3D space. On the other hand, Euler angle values are also specified, which are based on the position of the last position taken by the joints of the robot arm in the 3D space. In the study, the geometric approach method was used that is still popular in the inverse kinematic analysis. It is hoped that this study will inspire the development and use of professional and industrial kinds of the open-source robot arm

Modular robotics overview of the `state of the art`
The design of a robotic arm processing modular components and reconfigurable links is the general goal of a modular robotics development program. The impetus behind the pursuit of modular design is the remote engineering paradigm of improved reliability and availability provided by the ability to remotely maintain and repair a manipulator operating in a hazardous environment by removing and replacing worn or failed modules. Failed components can service off- line and away from hazardous conditions. The desire to reconfigure an arm to perform different tasks is also an important driver for the development of a modular robotic manipulator. In order to bring to fruition a truly modular manipulator, an array of technical challenges must be overcome. These range from basic mechanical and electrical design considerations such as desired kinematics, actuator types, and signal and transmission types and routings, through controls issues such as the need for control algorithms capable of stable free space and contact control, to computer and sensor design issues like consideration of the use of embedded processors and redundant sensors. This report presents a brief overview of the state of the art of technical issues relevant of modular robotic arm design. The focus is on breadth of coverage, rather than depth, in order to provide a reference frame for future development

Reconfigurable Validation Model for Identifying Kinematic Singularities and Reach Conditions for Articulated Robots and Machine Tools
Automation has led to industrial robots facilitating a wide array of high speed, endurance, and precision operations undertaken in the manufacturing industry today. An acceptable level of functioning and control is therefore vital to the efficacy and successful implementation of such manipulators. This research presents a comprehensive analytical tool for downstream optimization of manipulator design, functionality, and performance. The proposed model is reconfigurable and allows for modelling and validation of different industrial robots. Unique 3D visual models for a manipulator workspace and kinematic singularities are developed to gain an understanding into the task space and reach conditions of the manipulator\u27s end-effector. The developed algorithm also presents a non-conventional and computationally inexpensive solution to the inverse kinematics problem through the use Artificial Neural Networks. Application of the proposed technique is further extended to aid in development of path planning models for a uniform, continuous, and singularity free motion
