Description
Summary:The paper presents a program for robotics education that runs on standard IMB-PC's under the Microsoft Windows environment. The program WinRob is designed for undergraduate students and emphasises the aspect of robot modelling. The software is self-explanatory and uses menus, dialog boxes with figures and context-dependent on-line help. In this perspective, students are motivated to investigate on the kinematics, dynamics, trajectory planning and control in order to get insight into robotics.
