General Description
ROBED03 is a design solution for educational robots in Robotics Laboratory, Mihailo Pupin Institute. This solution is realized using previous experience in design and development of educational robots ROBED01 and ROBED01M and other 10 designs of industrial robots in Robotics Laboratory. ROBED03 is a small industrial robot for research laboratories and industrial applications. The appropriate small dimensions of this robot, contemporary software for education and its professional production enable efficient application in the various educational institutions. ROBED03 consists of the following modules: manipulator ROBED03, power unit, PC-based controller and educational software.
EDUC03 Robot Controller
Robot Controller EDUC03 for ROBED03 is a PC-based robot controller. Its user interface is realized as an interactive system with a multi-layer menu. Beside standard robot language commands, some additional instructions for modifying system parameters and the control structure are included in robot programming language. The control module includes kinematic, dynamic and digital regulator modules. The compensation of dynamic effects is based on the complete dynamic robot model. Control structure includes the following blocks:
- feedforward block,
- block for the compensation of Coriolis, centrifugal and gravitational effects,
- block for acceleration compensation and
- block of PID regulators.
It is possible to generate various forms of control laws including and excluding of particular blocks. Moreover, the control structure can be modified.
