Module 9 : Robot Dynamics & controls
Lecture 32 : General procedure for dynamics equation forming and introduction to control
Controller Design Techniques :
 

For linear systems:

Root locus .

Bode plot.
Nyquist plot.
 

(All the three above mentioned are graphical techniques)

State space design tools.

 

For Non-linear systems:

Lyapunov method.

Singular perturbation.

Feedback linearization
  Controller Implementation:
  Analog domain :
Use of Electronic circuits (main element is op-amp. )
  Digital domain:
In this computer or micro-controller is used as a controller..
In case of Computer as a controller, sensors & actuators handle analog signals while Computer handles digital signals. Conversion from Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog is necessary.It is done by using Analog to digital & digital to analog converter.
