Hardware and software solution for diagnostics and safety operation for robotic manipulator

This thesis deals with design and use of manipuilator with three degrees of freedom. The main objective is to develop appropriate educational platform. Firstly, it deals with definition of the goals and design method based on kinematic and dynamic models. Another section is dedicated to the design and implementation of the electronics needed for the safe and reliable operation of the manipulator as a educational platform. The last part deals with the use of manipulator together with additional sensors as well as vision system. The result is a demonstration of tasks use of manipulator. Example of use of this educational platform is implemented in a few demonstration tasks
