Integrated Modeling and Co-simulating of the Mechanical and Electro-hydraulic System for the Virtual Excavator-robot Prototyping Technology

Abstract

A method of modeling and simulating within different environment has been developed in this pa- per,with the virtual excavator-robot prototyping technology based on this method as an example.The virtual environment is built within ADAMS and the parameterized and modularized excavator hydraulic and control systems are built in MATLAB with the help of the toolbox Simulink.The interface method between the two types of software is studied and with the integration of the mechanical,hydraulic and control systems,the co- simulation with this technology is studied in the end.
