Learn about robotics principles, standards and the science involved, from simple kinematic transformations to reverse kinematics or advanced motion planning and control.
Since ancient times man has imagined automated mechanisms or intelligent devices to take over various activities or parts of his work, in the timeless quest to make life easier, more comfortable and achieve goals not possible otherwise. Automatic control systems … Read more →
In our article about stepper motors we have presented this type of electric motors, how they operate and what makes them highly compatible with digital control systems. Now we will talk about how to control such a motor together with … Read more →
A complex robot is backed up by busy intersections with commands and information that require processing. Simultaneous control of several actions require several processes that work in parallel and are sustained by high computing power. The difference between a robot … Read more →
In order to build a mechatronic system that can achieve numerous functions and certain performance levels, designers must think outside the box when searching for solutions to be implemented, in almost every aspect, when building an intelligent machine. This also … Read more →
A stepper motor is a type of DC motor which has a full rotation divided in an equal number of steps. It is a type of actuator highly compatible with numerical control means, as it is essentially an electromechanical converter … Read more →
The concept of modular robots is an answer that came to meet the rigidity of robots with static forms. The wide variety of robots is the result of a number as high as combinations of shapes and forms. A robot … Read more →
The robot is a machine with motion or manipulation abilities, so one of the most important problems to deal with is motion planning, which implies modelling the environment taking into account obstacles within, and the robot, as an entity with … Read more →
