Maker Innovations Series: Industrial Robotics Control

Więcej o książce

Build a complete control system for industrial robots, gaining insights from the perspective of an automation engineer. Delve into kinematics, trajectories, and motion control, then create your own circuit board to drive electric motors and maneuver the robot. After covering theory, apply your knowledge by programming control firmware. Each software component is detailed, including the HMI, motion command interpreter, and the servo loop controller essential for servo drives. The author emphasizes the commutation algorithm and servo loop controller for brushless synchronous motors commonly used in robotics. Learn to calibrate the robot, commission it for end-users, and design a digital twin for safe testing and monitoring in a simulated environment. The book also addresses hardware selection and usage of electric motors and encoders, building servo drives and motion controllers, and designing custom PCBs. Various electronic components and their application circuits are analyzed, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. By the end, you will be equipped to design and build electronic boards and write firmware to control any industrial robot for diverse applications. This resource is ideal for robotics engineers and students seeking to understand the control theory of robotic arms, requiring basic calculus, linear algebra, and foundational electronics knowledge.
