Use of Real-Time Programming Modules for Control of Actuator Positioning in Mechatronic System with Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

Abstract:

This paper explains proposed real-time control system algorithm modifications for control of drives containing the artificial muscles. The aim of these modifications is to create control algorithm more effective in spite to provide effective computational time to prepare measurement chain to add further artificial muscles to ensure movement in another directions. Described are devices, hardware and software equipment, as well as design of their involvement in the experimental device.
