  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.
