Selective Compliance Assembly Robotic Arm (SCARA) Trainer for Engineering Students

Abstract

Robotics is a sizeable evolving field when we talk about technology. It captures every attention when this knowledge comes into action. This work aims to construct and program a Selective Compliance Assembly Robotic Arm (SCARA) Trainer that can be used as an instructional package to teach robotic programming and its application. The system offers a such feature that can simulate programs in real-time. It can also perform instructions involving peripheral devices such as sensors, switches, and indicators. It will also acquaint users with the blending work of mechanical structure and electronic circuitry, or what is known as mechatronics. In general, this system is how the researcher shows the technological advancement in the field of robotics, mechatronics, and programming. The group wants to contribute to how engineering students can be exposed to programming robotics and its applications.
