Different devices in the field of robotics have various special requirements for drivers, which are as follows:
Industrial Robotic Arms
High-precision Position Control: When industrial robotic arms perform operations such as part assembly, welding, and cutting, they need to accurately position themselves at the specified locations to ensure the accuracy of the operations and the quality of the products. For example, in the automotive manufacturing industry, robotic arms need to precisely install components at the designated positions, and the position error needs to be controlled within a very small range.
High Torque Output: In order to be able to carry and operate heavy workpieces, the drivers of industrial robotic arms need to provide sufficient torque. For instance, in robotic arms used for handling large metal components, the drivers need to output a powerful torque to drive the joints of the robotic arms to complete the corresponding movements.
Fast Response and High Acceleration: To improve production efficiency, industrial robotic arms need to complete their movements quickly. This requires the drivers to have fast response capabilities and high acceleration. For example, during the high-speed placement of electronic components, the robotic arm needs to move from one position to another within a short period of time. The driver must respond quickly to the control signals and achieve high-acceleration motion.
High Reliability and Stability: Industrial robotic arms usually need to operate continuously for a long time. The reliability and stability of the drivers directly affect the normal operation of the entire production line. For example, in an automated production line, once a robotic arm malfunctions, it may cause the entire production line to come to a standstill, resulting in huge economic losses.
Mobile Robots
Adaptability to Different Terrains and Load Changes: Mobile robots need to travel on various terrains, such as flat ground, rough roads, stairs, etc., and may also need to carry goods of different weights. Therefore, the drivers need to be able to automatically adjust the output torque and speed according to the changes in terrain and load to ensure the stable driving of the robots.
Good Endurance: Mobile robots usually rely on batteries for power supply, and the energy efficiency conversion efficiency of the drivers directly affects the endurance of the robots. To extend the working time of the robots, the drivers need to have high-efficiency energy conversion capabilities to reduce energy consumption.
Compact Size and Lightweight Design: To facilitate the design and operation of mobile robots, the size and weight of the drivers need to be as small as possible to reduce the overall weight of the robots and improve their mobility and flexibility.
Precise Speed Control: In logistics warehouses, mobile robots need to travel at the specified speed to avoid collisions and improve transportation efficiency. The drivers need to precisely control the rotational speed of the motors to ensure that the robots can travel stably at the set speed.
Collaborative Robots
High Force Control Precision: Collaborative robots need to work closely with human workers. To ensure the safety of the personnel, the drivers need to have high-precision force control capabilities, and be able to accurately sense and control the contact force between the robots and the external environment. For example, in the assembly work of human-robot collaboration, the robot needs to apply an appropriate amount of force to complete the assembly task while avoiding causing harm to the operators.
Good Compliance: To achieve natural interaction with humans, the drivers of collaborative robots need to have good compliance, and be able to respond appropriately when subjected to external forces, without causing excessive impact on the operators.
High Safety Performance: Safety is of crucial importance when collaborative robots work together with humans. The drivers need to have a variety of safety protection functions, such as overload protection, emergency stop, collision detection, etc., to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in various situations.
Good Human-Machine Interaction Ability: The drivers need to closely cooperate with the robot’s control system and sensors to achieve good human-machine interaction functions. For example, when the operator manually operates the robot or issues instructions, the driver needs to respond quickly and accurately, enabling the robot to move according to the operator’s intentions.
