Control system design and implementation for a blocking plate manipulation robot

Abstract

In this paper, a CAN-bus based distributed control system for a blocking plate manipulation robot is developed to meet the requirements of operating environment in nuclear power plants. In terms of the architecture for the control system, hardware and software for this robot is designed and implemented. Safety design is particularly mentioned as a vital ensurance of the robot system. Absolute positioning accuracy experiment is provided to verify the effectiveness of the control system design and implementation.
