Modular System for Testing the Performance of Poly-Articulate Robotic Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a modular system for testing the performance of a poly-articulate robotic arm (snake like) with the push-pull actuation redundancy. Mechanical structure contains modules that allow testing of robots with different structures of the robotic arm (discrete hyper-redundant, continuous). Sensory system can be configured depending on the product and testing program adapting the sensors of position, velocity, time and vibrations. The monitoring system developed allows the automatic calibration of actuators and sensors, data and signal acquisition.
