Abstract

A digital robot control is provided with cascaded position/velocity and torque control loops with microprocessor servo controllers in each. The servo controller includes two microprocessors that operate as a servo engine in providing motion control for six robot axes. One microprocessor is structured to perform data processing and coordination tasks. The other one performs calculation tasks and operates as a slave processor to the first.
