This paper proposed a design and implementation method for industrial robot controller with open architecture. It is based on dual MCUs and FPGA, aiming at solving the problem of closure in general ...

Abstract: In this work an architecture for robotic control is proposed which divides the robot controller system into a manipulator specific and an application specific part. All manipulator specific ...

The new training method doesn't use sensors or onboard control tweaks, but a single camera that watches the robot's movements ...

Engineers and system integrators who are building robot cells will find it easier to integrate larger robots with an innovation from ABB. The industrial robot maker has reengineered its IRC5 ...

For more information, you alsoshould read "Robot Control with Biological Cells" (PDF format, 15 pages, 262 KB). So will we soon see biological cells becoming an integral part of robotic devices ...
