Research On Robot Control System

The study on the architecture of robot control system is an important part of robotics. A PC-based design and an Internet-based design for robot control system are reported in this paper. The key technique in these system designs is also introduced.The PC-based robot control system in this paper, a system with functions of off-line programming, 3D graphic simulation and path planning, is an open, extendable system for researchers.The Internet-based robot control system using advanced Internet techniques can be applied to the education of robotics and visitor can use the robot in the lab from distance. Compared with the PC-based control system, this distributed architecture system has the additional function of collaborative control. And as a net control system, there are some other differences in the form of robot control.Both of these robot control system can be easily replanted and their calculate ability and software/hardware extendability are powerful. The example about Puma560 is given in this paper.
