Ten Key Motion Control Techniques Used For Mobile Robotics

Controlling the motors and actuators in mobile robots is a critical design challenge for engineers, yet most text book motion control techniques are better suited to stationary equipment such as machine tools and laboratory automation. In this webinar, we do a deep dive on modifications to standard motion control techniques as well as entirely new techniques for achieving state of the art control of mobile and remote robotic devices.

The following techniques are covered:

1. High Torque to Weight Actuators
2. Precision Force Control
3. Non-Cartesian Coordinate Math / Profiles
4. Regenerative Braking
5. Miniaturized Components - Modules
6. Miniaturized Components - ICs
7. Miniaturized Components - Motors
8. Optimizing Efficiency
9. Smart Feedforward
10. Ruggedized Encoders

This webinar was introduced by Mike Oitzman, Editor of The Mobile Robot Guide & The Robot Report, and presented by Prabhakar Gowrisankaran, VP of Engineering and Strategy at Performance Motion Devices.
