Project Summary 2-DOF robot arm control __workstation Designed in Simulink __environment Mimics Quansar workstation Controller design
Vaccari and Osterholt’s Project Achievements • Modeling the robot arm in SimMechanics Toolbox • Designing closed-loop controllers • Real time visualization using the Virtual Reality __Toolbox • Implementing force feedback joystick control • Note: Non-inverting configuration was used with no load. Previous Work
Primary Project Goals • Add rotary flexible joint to the existing system model • Validate new model through experimental results • System ID for designing controllers • Design closed-loop controllers for 2-DOF robot arm • Single-loop position controller • Double-loop position/velocity controller • Feed-forward controller • Make additions to previous virtual reality workstation
Secondary Project Goals • Design advanced controller for the 2-DOF robot arm • Investigate different robot arm configurations • Level • Inverted • Non-inverted
Functional Description Mass-Damper-Spring System • Mass • Arm • Gripper • Load • Damper • Friction will act as the damper • Spring • Springs attach the robot arm to the base
