Considering the difficulty of students in calculating the direct and inverse kinematics of a robotic manipulator using only conventional tools of a classroom, this article proposes the application of Project Based Learning (ABP) through the design, development, mathematical modeling of a robotic manipulator as an integrative project of the disciplines of Industrial Robotics, Microcontrollers and Computer Assisted Design with students of the Control and Automation Engineering of the University of Fortaleza. Once designed and machined, the manipulator arm was assembled using servo motors connected to a microcontroled prototyping board, to then have its kinematics calculated. At the end are presented the results that the project has brought to the learning of the disciplines on the optics of the tutor and students.
