Analyzing a 2-joint planar robot arm
lesson
We consider a robot, which has two rotary joints and an arm.
lesson
We consider a robot, which has two rotary joints and an arm.
lesson
We repeat the process of the last section but this time consider it as an algebraic problem.
lesson
We resume our analysis of the 6-link robot Jacobian and focus on the rotational velocity part.
lesson
We consider the simplest possible robot, which has one rotary joint and an arm.
lesson
We revisit the simple 2-link planar robot and determine the inverse kinematic function using simple geometry and trigonometry.
lesson
A number of strategies exist to reduce the effect of these coupling torques between the joints, from introducing a gearbox between the motor and the joint, to advanced feedforward strategies.
lesson
We will learn about how we make the the robot joints move to the angles or positions that are required in order to achieve the desired end-effector motion. This is the job of the robot’s joint controller and in this lecture we will learn how this works. This journey will take us in to the […]
lesson
A robot joint controller is a type of feedback control system which is an old and well understood technique. We will learn how to assemble the various mechatronic components such as motors, gearboxes, sensors, electronics and embedded computing in a feedback configuration to implement a robot joint controller.
lesson
We will use Simulink to create a dynamic model of a single robot joint and simulate its operation.
lesson
A robot joint is a mechatronic system comprising motors, sensors, electronics and embedded computing that implements a feedback control system.
