The adoption of SolidWorks software in the design of a robot's internal structure facilitates significant advancements in precision, efficiency, and innovation. This study explores the application of SolidWorks to model, simulate, and optimize the internal components of robotic systems. Employing a combination of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) tools within SolidWorks, the research aims to streamline the design process and enhance the structural integrity of robots. Through detailed analysis and comparison with traditional design methods, the study concludes that SolidWorks offers superior capabilities in handling complex geometries and improving design accuracy. The findings have major implications for robotic engineering, promoting more cost-effective and reliable robot development.
