Our light-weight robots are controlled by a cascaded structure of current, joint and Cartesian level controllers. The modular joints are equipped with motor-side position sensors (based on ...

Motion stages with moving motors can provide greater performance ... creating a need for long-travel motion axes and transfer robots. Some of these gantry and Cartesian robots can reliably ...

Let's build a TBot cartesian motion platform I ... and two Anaheim Automation DC brushless servo motors. I'll be wiring this up with some encoders and an ODrive for motion control.

It turns out the “retired equipment” was three Cartesian robots from ... Each axis of the robot has a 400 Watt Yaskawa servo with a 65k encoder and brake. The original Adept servo amps and ...

An absolute encoder option is also available ... The hexapod multiaxis-vector controller is commanded directly in Cartesian coordinates. The user can specify a random pivot point in space with a ...

EPC is specifically aiming at designers of humanoid robots with ... and shaft-encoder operation is possible, and in the default configuration the board implements sensor-less field-orientated control ...

Rotary encoding is a common mechanism for the delivery of accurate speed, acceleration, and position of the motor rotor. Rotary encoders are commonly deployed in the closed-loop rotor systems used in ...

but [madcowswe] believes that by adding an encoder and the right fixtures, these motors could form the basis of an excellent robot arm. The ODrive project was a contender for the 2016 Hackaday ...
