Low-Cost Robot by means of Integrated Servo Control

Objective

The objective of the LOCRIS project is to develop and optimise a new generation of highly integrated electronic control modules in order to achieve integrated servo control for low-cost robots.

The approach will be to:

- integrate servo control electronics with the robot controller
- develop and optimise the individual electronic control modules with the help of low-cost ASICs (application specific integrated circuits)
- select, adapt and integrate suitable control algorithms into the optimised electronics in order to enhance performance
- implement software tools to reduce the effort required to integrate, tune and maintain servo controls.

The results will be incorporated in a low-cost industrial robot, which will be demonstrated working in a welding cell. Components and robotic control systems based on the results will be marketed by industrial members of the consortium.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
