Phases of Building a Robot

The process of building a robot can be divided into several phases as follows:

1. Design Phase: which includes the following tasks:
   • Specify the required robot tasks.
   • Choose the robot parameters.
   • Set the control equation and the trajectory planning strategy.
   • Study the singular points.
2. Simulation Phase: test the behavior and the performance of the chosen manipulator.
3. Prototyping and Testing Phase: test the behavior and performance, and compare it with the simulated results.
4. Manufacturing Phase: order the required parts and manufacture the actual robot.
