Summary

For the Autumn semester, this module gives detail analysis of the robot manipulator and control application of a continuation from Year 2 Electronic Processing Robotics module. For the spring semester, this module enables students to design both analogue and digital controllers for linear single-input single-output systems. Students have access to Matlab Simulink tool for evaluating control design. 

a. Design of analogue controllers using Root Locus Method
b. Dlosed loop performance and frequency response practical problems in digital control
c. Design of digital controllers using z-plane techniques practice with Matlab Simulink tool.

Educational Aims

For the autumn semester, the aim is: a. Forward Kinematics analysis of robot manipulator b. Inverse Kinematics analysis of robot manipulator c. Dynamics motion energy method namely Lagrange Theory and Introduction to robot force control. For spring semester, the aim is: a. To provide students with good knowledge of traditional linear control design theories and their application to a variety of practical industrial systems.b. To provide students with the skills and techniques necessary to analyse and synthesise controllers ranging from a simple proportional structure to a PI, PID and other second order structures using root locus and frequency response strategies both in continuous and in discrete domain.

Learning Outcomes

LO1     Ability to model the kinematic chains of robotic manipulators.
LO2     Ability to analyse the kinematic chains to solve for the inverse kinematics.
