Motor controller for biped robot
Author: Rakovec Martin
Main goal of this bachelor thesis was propose new version of power and measuring
electronics for servomotor of the robot Spejbl. Within the work there was tested library
which implements programming interface VCA on microcomputer. For this purpose arose
software for testing which discovered failings of this library and software which shows
correct use of this library. Library was documented as well. New version of power and mea-
suring electronics was proposed. That using sensing resistors and instrumentation amplifier
for substraction of voltage drop. Current measurement is bipolar owing to pseudoground
on the apmlifier output. This electronics has some flaws due to incorrect choice of instru-
mentation amplifier. Current controller tuning was unsuccessful and reason of bad current
control wasn't discovered.
