This book continues by examining the different mechanisms commonly used in walking robots. Also included is coverage of gears, gear trains and spur gear creation using Autodesk Inventor. You will also become familiar with many of Inventor's powerful tools and commands that enable you to easily construct complex features in your models. Along the way you will learn the fundamentals of parametric modeling through the use of geometric constraints and relationships. You will start by learning to model simple robot parts and before long you will graduate to creating more complex parts and multi-view drawings. The author begins by getting you familiar with the Inventor interface and its basic tools. No previous experience with Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) is needed since this book starts at an introductory level.

An unassembled version of the same robot used throughout the book can be bundled with the book.

You will learn to model parts, create assemblies, run simulations and even create animations of your robot design. This book features a simple robot design used as a project throughout the book. This book will teach you everything you need to know to start using Autodesk Inventor 2015 with easy to understand, step-by-step tutorials.
