Abstract

A d.c. servomotor with pulse encoder is used to improve the movement of a hospital mobile robot along the desired line. We can achieve an improved movement of the robot by applying a PLL control. It is then shown that we can also reduce 42% of the power dissipation by the use of a PWM control. Furthermore, some simulation studies are presented to illustrate the design of PI control and optimal regulator for the control of the d.c. servomotor.
