Servo Motor Control for Robot Limbs

Overview

Description

The ability to control robotic movements is crucial across various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. Precision movement is essential for meeting industry standards, enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring safety.

This servo motor control for robot limbs offers fine motor control for angular motion with adequate torque and speed, ensuring that the limbs move as intended. It also monitors the status of multiple motors via 1-wire through UART from the host MCU, allowing users to reduce the harness in a system and control robot limbs for applications such as service robots, manipulators, and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs).

System Benefits​:

  • Precision control for motor angles with adequate torque and speed by command, providing highly responsive and flexible functionality.
  • The HVPAK™ programmable mixed-signal matrix features high-voltage H-bridge functionality in a tiny 2mm x 3mm QFN package which contributes to minimizing the size of the servo motor.
  • Monitor status via 1-wire UART with echo cancel simplifies communication lines while ensuring signal integrity.
  • Cascading multiple servos allows for harness reduction in a system, reducing BOM and system costs.
  • Compact size for easy embedding into a robot.
