PT Journal AU Mikova, L Trebuna, F TI The Application of Simulation Methods for Modeling Mechatronic Systems SO Acta Mechanica Slovaca PY 2012 BP 32 EP 36 VL 16 IS 2 DI 10.21496/ams.2012.015 DE Simulation methods; modelling AB Computer-aided modelling of kinematics and dynamics of robots is an important integrated part within the frame of a modern approach to the design of technical subjects (machines, apparatuses, motor-cars, planes, etc.). It is possible to verify a large spectrum of applications, which can be typical for operation of the simulated subject. Application of the simulation methods enables to accelerate a development process and to improve design of the wheel undercarriage structures of mobile robots. ER
