Build a small robotic arm and its Virtual Twin yourself in this free EduSpace learning module.

By the end of the learning module, you will be able to:

  • Apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Digital Engineering principles throughout the development lifecycle of a robotic arm project.
  • Conduct stakeholder needs analysis and translate those needs into a structured system architecture.
  • Manage system requirements effectively, ensuring traceability through digital thread integration.
  • Design mechanical and electrical components and utilize simulation and co-simulation tools to optimize performance.
  • Integrate software development within the system architecture and ensure smooth system deployment.

The following software prerequisites are needed to run the EduSpace learning module:

  • 3DEXPERIENCE Platform - Cloud version (2026x)
  • CATIA Magic (2024x or newer)
  • Claude AI
  • Python
  • Arduino IDE
