Course description and aims

This course focuses on how to control a robot system. The basic of robot control is in motor position/force control, and design of motor reference requires kinematics and dynamics. The topics of this course include motor PD control, forward/inverse kinematics, statics, forward/inverse dynamics and compliance control, which are illustrated mathematically and dynamically.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Design a PD controller that satisfies the stability of the closed loop system
(2) Implement PD control algorism into PC control of a motor system
(3) Design a motor reference for a given trajectory of the end effector
(4) Design a motor torque that yields appropriate force in the end effector
(5) Design a compliance controller.

Keywords

PD control, Forward/Inverse kinematics, Statics, Forward/Inverse dynamics, Conpliance control

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course is mainly organized lectures. Since each lecture requires the knowledge of the previous lecture, the students have to well review the previous lessons.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Classical control theory and motor control PD control, Final-value theorem, Nyquist stability criterion
Class 2 Implementation of motor control into PC system Discrete time system, Pseudo-differential
Class 3 Kinematics Forward/Inverse kinematics
Class 4 Statics Statics, Virtual work principal
Class 5 Compliance control Compliance ellipsoid, Compliance control
Class 6 Generalized coordinates and dynamics Degree of freedom, generalized coordinates

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
