홍익 직접 구동팔의 동적 제어기 개발

A scara type Direct Drive Arm(DDA) with two degrees-of-freedom is designed and implemented. The direct drive motor is used to furnish large torque to reduce the modeling error by the gear and chains. To control the DDA, a multiprocessor control structure with multirate dynamic control algorithm is designed. In the control algorithm, the dynamics of system is used to calculate the nominal control torque and the feedback controls are calculated with a parallel processing algorithm for each joint. The laboratory experiments on Hong-Ik DDA by dynamic control algorithm are presented and compared to that of PID control algorithm. This result shows that the proposed controller guarantees small trajectory error and stability. With this research, Hong-Ik DDA is expected to be utilized as A basic tool for robotics and control engineering.
