Upgrading the hardware and software of RC servos for use in educational robotics

Abstract

RC servos do not satisfy the requirements applicable to servos in robotic systems due to the lack of feedback from the onboard computer and the inability to change the control mechanism parameters. In this article we analyze the existing solutions and consider the creation of a controller that will allow upgrading the standard RC servo for use in educational robotics. Educational modular and humanoid robots based on the developed servos will be used for planned and additional training of bachelors, masters and PhD students, as well as for full-scale simulation of a socio-cyber-physical environment and the study of the problems of interactive user interaction with the surrounding mobile robotic and embedded devices.
