Abstract—Animation in Robotics is one of the most
important problem to be solved because with animation will be
possible to obtain the best results to control the working space
of robots in a space application, to control the Forward and
Inverse Kinematics (FK, IK) algorithms, to control the
singularity points in applications with one or multiple robots, in
different cases: parallel, serial or complex robotic disposure. In
the paper are shown the state of art in this field, the general
algorithm used for animation and some usual cases for some
type of robots like: Gun, Scara, Portal, Arm, Leg, serial,
parallel or complex multi robots applications. The paper shown
also the constraints for parallel robot structures and how could
be animate this types of robots or the human robots like multi
robot application. For all these cases were designed some
LabVIEW virtual instruments (VI) what work on-line and by
using the remote control or the external files or the front panel
buttons, we can do some moving in the space of all robot's
bodies to validate de FK and IK, to construct the parallel robot
structure. The used algorithms, the cases that were studied, the
applied methods and cases of animation open the way to
optimal solve the complex problems in robotics.
