Abstract

This paper explores the advantages of sensing rich approaches to the design and operation of the power transmission mechanism or drive train under servo control. The drive train is a fundamental element of any motion control system. Three specific cases are presented: 1) vision-based online trajectory generation for contour following for a two link manipulator, 2) the use of vision image and other sensors such as accelerometers and gyros for end-effector sensing, and 3) sensor-based controller tuning of indirect drive train using accelerometers on the load side. For each of the three cases, the advantages are demonstrated by experiments.
