Design and Analysis of the Mechanical Structure of a Robot System for Cabin Docking

Abstract

Aiming at the disadvantages of traditional manual docking, such as low assembly efficiency and large positioning error, a six-DOF dual-arm robot system for module docking is designed. Firstly, according to the operation tasks of the cabin docking robot, its functional requirements and key indicators are determined, the overall scheme of the robot is designed, and the composition and working principle of the robot joints are introduced in detail. Secondly, a strength analysis of the core components of the docking robot is carried out by finite element analysis software to ensure its load capacity. Based on the kinematics model of the robot, the working space of the robot mechanism is simulated and analyzed. Finally, the experimental platform of the docking robot is built, and the working space, repeated positioning accuracy, and motion control accuracy of the docking robot mechanism are verified through experiments, which meet the design requirements.
