Summary

This chapter was mainly aimed at robot mechanical designing. It also included the robot parameter calculation and robot chassis design. In robot designing, we first need to have the prerequisites ready. Once it's ready, we can calculate the requirements of the components to be used in the robot. After the component requirements are met, we design the robot chassis according to the given requirements. The robot chassis design involves 2D design of all the parts required to build the robot. After 2D designing, we saw how to build the 3D robot model using Blender and Python script. The 3D model was built using the dimensions that we used in 2D drawing. We also covered the Blender Python script to build the entire 3D model. In this chapter, we got the design of the robot that can be used to manufacture it, and also developed a 3D model for simulation. In the next chapter, we will discuss the simulation of this robot model and some popular simulation tools.
