Title: Robotics. Lesson 3; Robotic Actuators and Motion Control


  1. Servo motors provide precise angular positioning for robotic joints and limbs.

  2. DC motors are widely used for continuous, high-speed robotic movement.

  3. Stepper motors offer incremental motion control for precision in robotics.

  4. Pneumatic actuators generate force through compressed air in robotic arms.

  5. Hydraulic actuators deliver high power, suitable for heavy-duty robotic tasks.

  6. Brushless motors require electronic controllers for efficient speed and torque adjustments.

  7. Linear actuators convert rotational motion to linear displacement in robots.

  8. Solenoid actuators produce linear motion using electromagnetic fields in robotics.

  9. Piezoelectric actuators generate precise movement using voltage-induced material deformation.

  10. Torque control algorithms adjust motor force based on external resistance.

  11. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) regulates motor speed in robotic systems.

  12. Feedback control loops ensure accurate positioning and stability in actuators.

  13. Robotic end-effectors require actuators for handling, grasping, and manipulation.

  14. Closed-loop systems adjust actuator input based on sensor feedback.

  15. Open-loop control systems operate without real-time feedback from sensors.

  16. Electric actuators are efficient for light-weight, high-speed robotic applications.

  17. Haptic actuators create force feedback, simulating touch sensations in robotics.

  18. Compliance control allows robots to adapt force during physical interaction.

  19. Back-EMF sensing helps monitor motor speed without additional sensors.

  20. Harmonic drives enable high torque and precision in robotic joints.


Technical Examples

  1. Servo Motor Application: Controlling robotic arm joints for precise angle positioning.
