Course Project: Forces on a Robot and Kinematic Analysis and Animation of Planar Mechanism

Max Marks: 30
1. Forces on a Robot
a) Create a scenario of at least 5 forces acting in 3-dimenionsal space on a [04] [CO1]
body (assumed as a robot). The marks awarded to this question is [BTL2]
directly proportional to the complexity of the problem you choose.
b) Represent these forces and determine the resultant force and moment
(about any point) on the body (it should not be zero!).
c) Propose a way to achieve static equilibrium on the body.
d) After formulating on paper(s) in a neat manner, scan the same and insert
into the presentation file as slides.
2. Forces on a Robot
e) Write a program in GeoGebra and include screenshots in the [04] [CO2]
presentation file. [BTL3]
3. Kinematic Analysis and Animation of Planar Mechanism
a) Each team has a unique question. The image in the enclosed project list [04] [CO3]
has URL to the webpage with details and animation of the mechanism. [BTL2]
b) Understand the architecture of the mechanism (of your team) and draw
the mechanism, label the parts/links and joints.
c) Determine the DOF (degree(s)-of-freedom) of the mechanism.
d) Draw a flow-chart to achieve kinematic analysis of the mechanism.
[which joint/node is given as input motion(s) and how the position
and/or orientation of other links/nodes are determined?]
e) After formulating on paper(s) in a neat manner, scan the same and insert
into the presentation file as slides.
4. Kinematic Analysis and Animation of Planar Mechanism
f) If the dimensions of the links are not mentioned in the URL, take a [08] [CO4]
screenshot of the animation in the URL and paste the image in GeoGebra [BTL3]
or any image processing software, which allows measurement of
distance between any two points on the image. Ensure that when you
insert the screenshot, the aspect ratio (width: height ratio) is not
distorted. The dimensions can be in mm or m.
g) Formulate and write a GeoGebra program to draw the mechanism
(position analysis).
h) Animate the mechanism for full rotation of crank link (all mechanisms
chosen have a possibility of complete rotation of crank/input link).
 i) If the URL video/animation has a trace, obtain the trace of
corresponding point in GeoGebra animation. Compare the traces
visually.
j) Create a video with the URL animation on the left side and your
GeoGebra animation on the right side. This comparison video is a good
souvenir for both students and teachers!
5. Presentation and Viva (each member) [10] [CO4]
[BTL3]

Note:
1. Presentation template shall be shared. All should use the same. Combined video to be placed in the
presentation.
2. Presentation schedule and team-wise projects are below.
3. Demonstration and Presentation by the team members (~10 minutes)
4. Viva/Questions to team members (~20 minutes)
