Introduction

RoboSim is a program which simulates a six-link robot. You can control the robot in several ways and manipulate it, for example giving the links new lengths or changing the weights belonging to the indicated angles. It's also possible to make the robot save pre-allocated positions and to teach the robot a sequence of movements. Also, this software can be used to control a real robot. This robot is a Lynxmotion manipulator, available from Joker Robotics. In the following passage the possible commands are explained in more detail.

Useful Advice

This Java applet needs a reserved place of 920x670 pixels. Otherwise parts of the drawing are hidden by the panel on the right side. If you can't see a robot between the control panels, it's useful to click several times between the panels. If the robot seems to stop while doing a move and the scrollbar labels disappear, it might be helpful to move the mouse across the robot.
