The paper presents the inverse kinematic analysis, modeling design and fabrication of each part of a four axes SCARA indigenously developed robot with indigenous components and to control it with a personal computer using the visual basic language. The work was carried out as a sponsored consultation project taken up by the authors. The main objective of this work is to design a inverse kinematic mathematical model of an educational stationary robotic model that can do pick and place of objects by avoiding the obstacles in its path of motion from the source to the destination.
