Robotic Arm Control Using dSPACE and MATLAB

Back in 2008, as part of my engineering research at NSIT (now Netaji Subhas University of Technology), I worked on building a prototype robotic arm powered by dSPACE DS1104 and MATLAB/Simulink . The goal was simple but ambitious: move an end effector precisely, under computer control, and repeat tasks reliably — the very essence of industrial robotics. Why dSPACE? dSPACE is widely used in…
