EASY-ROB is a Robot Simulation Tool with 3D graphic and animation. You can design your robot kinematic with 6 DOF (degrees of freedom). Currently available types are the kinematics RRR:RRR and TTT:RRR. The robot can move in joint and cartesian space (inverse kinematics with all configurations). Furthermore you can describe the robot kinematic in universal coordinates and with the DH (Denavit Hartenberg) notation. The maximum number of DOF is 12. With passiv and activ joint inside the kinematic chain it is possible to design nearly every robot. You can use two user defined inverse kinematic routines in C-Code for you specific robot kinematic. A makefile to build the new er_kin.dll (EASY-ROB kinematic dynamic link library) is available. The robots tool can be designed with TCP data. You can write a motion program for the robot and check reachability,
travel ranges and cycle time for the movement. You can grab s.th. and release it. The robots motion can be saved in a recording file and replayed.
Our Review: Creation of robot simulations has never been so easy. With 3D support users can see the object from different perspectives, choose the robot and working object models, specify motion and actions, and finally see the results. Excellent graphics is supported by OpenGL drivers. 3D-CAD built-in system allows creating custom robot models and objects. By specifying motions in the time sequence animation can be created. Easy-Rob is obviously developed by professionals in industry robotics and CAD. It will prove quite useful in scientific research or industry since it has the power of replacing some stages of the real model development with much faster and lower cost simulations. The program is meant to be used by experts but even beginners can enjoy its excellent 3D animations. Trial version has a disabled save option.
