..., a MATLAB/Simulink tool for physical system modeling has also been added to this course. The use of these two tools in complex system modeling tasks helps students develop an understanding of engineering system behavior by moving beyond the narrow boundaries of individual disciplines. This paper describes...

... differences between the two potential energy when giving different random values of joint variables is set as the objective function. Then the optimization tool of MATLAB is used to obtain the spring attachment points. The results show that for a 1-link manipulator mounted on an R joint, in addition...
