A visual-feedback juggler with servo drives

Abstract

The model of the juggler is a mechanical machinery designed and constructed to demonstrate and teach control of fast and highly effective servo drives that are commonly used in various motion control applications in industry. The aim of this project is to create a control system able to juggle with three billiard balls, close a visual feedback to recognise actual position of individual balls and present procedures that can be used to design and control similar systems in industrial applications.
