eBook Description:
Industrial Robotics Control: Mathematical Models, Software Architecture, and Electronics Design
Build a complete control system for industrial robots, learning all the theory and practical tips from the perspective of an automation engineer. Explore the details of kinematics, trajectories, and motion control, and then create your own circuit board to drive the electric motors and move the robot.
After covering the theory, readers can put what they’ve learned in practice by programming a control firmware for the robot. Each software component is described in detail, from the HMI and the interpreter of motion commands, to the servo loop controller at the core of each servo drive. In particular, the author presents the commutation algorithm and the servo loop controller for brushless synchronous motors, which are typically employed in robotics applications. Readers will also learn how to calibrate the robot, commission it to the end-user, and design a digital twin to test and monitor the entire workcell in a safe simulated environment.
Finally, the book delves into hardware, covering how to select and use electric motors and encoders, how to build servo drives and motion controllers, and how to design your own PCBs. Different electronic components and their application circuits are analyzed, showing the advantages and drawbacks of each.
- Solve kinematics models of robots
- Generate safe paths and optimal motion trajectories
- Create a digital twin of your robot to test and monitor its movements
- Master the electronic commutation and closed-loop control of brushless motors
- Design electronics circuit boards for motion applications
By the end of the Industrial Robotics Control book you should be able to design and build electronic boards and write their core firmware to control any kind of industrial robot for all sorts of different practical applications.
