Using Solidworks and Simulink simulation platform, the virtual simulation system of manipulator is built, which improves the design efficiency of manipulator control system. Firstly, the 3D model of the manipulator is established in Solidworks, and the industrial six degree of freedom manipulator is taken as the research object, the Solidworks model is introduced into Simulink, and the joint simulation control system of the manipulator is built by the SimMechanics module in MATLAB/SIMULINK, and the model of the manipulator is added in the motion simulation platform. The kinematic and dynamic analysis of the manipulator is carried out by adding the terminal pose signal and the joint signal (angle function and torque value).
