ABSTRACT

This paper explores the teaching reform of the "Robot Statics Calculation and Simulation" course under the new engineering education framework, proposing an integrated teaching model centered around elasticity mechanics theory and Abaqus finite element simulation platform with AI-assisted modeling tools. Through case studies involving three types of typical robotic systems (rigid industrial robots, continuum surgical robots, and micro/nano operation robots), it systematically builds a complete knowledge chain from theoretical modeling to numerical analysis and AI optimization. The course adopts a closed-loop teaching strategy of "modeling-simulation-validation-AI integration," enhancing students' understanding and application abilities in complex robot structure statics performance. Feedback from a completed class of 32 students shows significant improvement in their engineering modeling skills, software proficiency, and interdisciplinary problem-solving capabilities, providing an effective pathway for nurturing high-quality engineering talents suitable for intelligent manufacturing and advanced robotics fields.
