Michelotti, Mark B. 2011-05-25T15:00:19Z 2011-05-25T15:00:19Z 2011-05-25T15:00:19Z 2011-05 "The two goals of this thesis are A) to develop an embedded system whose purpose is to control the Novint Falcon as a robot, and B) to develop a control experiment that demonstrates the use the Novint Falcon as a robotic actuator. The contents of this report are therefore divided into two parts. Part A deals specifically with the Novint Falcon, which is a PC input device which is ""haptic"" in the sense that it has a force feedback component. It is similar in configuration to the common delta robot, whose speed and accuracy has made it useful in pick-and-place operations. Along with its relatively low cost compared with other platforms, this makes it a good candidate for academic application in robot modeling and control. An embedded system is developed to interface with the multiple motors and sensors present in the Novint Falcon. Part B deals with demonstrating the use of the Novint Falcon as an actuator for a ball-on-plate control experiment. The results show that the device is a viable solution for high-speed actuation of small-scale mechanical systems."
