DOI 10.1109/nir50484.2020.9290227
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents a new methodology for modeling and simulation of spherical parallel manipulators (SPM) in CoppeliaSim (V-REP) robot simulator software. Using a SPM with coaxial input shafts as the case study, the steps for the robot SolidWorks CAD model importing, modeling in CoppeliaSim and interfacing with MATLAB for external control of the robot model are described in detail. The SPM motion simulation results are then presented and verified on an experimental 3D-printed system prototype.
