Avnet's innovative solutions drive multifunctional robots to empower industrial automation and a smarter future
At the forefront of science and technology, polyfunctional robots are gradually becoming a key force in industrial and life scenarios.
These robots are not only capable of performing multiple tasks, but are also gradually replacing specialized robots that can only perform a single task, thereby improving efficiency and return on investment (ROI). According to Gartner, by 2030, 80% of humans will interact with intelligent robots every day , compared to less than 10% today.
In robotic construction systems, motors are key components of the robot's execution system, responsible for robot movement and control, even enabling complex medical procedures. The motor and its drive solution largely determine the robot's accuracy, speed, torque, and other important performance attributes.
Multifunctional robots need to perform a variety of complex tasks, requiring excellent energy efficiency to ensure sufficient operating time. At the same time, they must seamlessly switch between tasks, requiring a higher level of intelligence. Furthermore, robots cannot be overly large due to their numerous tasks, requiring greater integration. In line with these requirements, motor drive technology, the core of a robot's execution system, must also excel in energy efficiency, intelligence, and integration.
Therefore, employing superior motor drive solutions is crucial for multifunctional robots to achieve outstanding performance and solve missions. Avnet boasts excellent solutions and a wealth of best practices in the motor drive field, providing customers with component supply, integrated design capabilities, product innovation and R&D, and customized services, helping them rapidly develop and deploy motor drive and control products. Avnet offers numerous outstanding solutions for motor control solutions and overall robotic system performance enhancements. Solutions:
The industrial and IoT markets require safer, more efficient motor control solutions that maintain high accuracy and reliability within the system. Avnet's RT1021 servo motor control solution utilizes NXP's advanced Arm® Cortex® - M7 processor to deliver high CPU performance and real-time responsiveness. The RT1021 servo motor control, combined with the RAMK060 magnetic encoder, can detect the position of the robotic arm and convert the mechanical angle position into a highly accurate electrical signal, making it ideal for high-performance applications.
Servo motor controllers provide precise angular positioning of the motor shaft and play a vital role in intelligent manufacturing. The STM32 servo motor controller solution provided by Avnet features a Field Operational Control (FOC) algorithm, enabling high-efficiency, high-reliability, and low-noise servo position control.
The complete platform released by Avnet includes sensorless field-oriented vector control implemented by encoders and FPGAs, which has high efficiency, high precision, and fast response speed. Motor control can be fully implemented by FPGA logic.
In its autonomous mobile robot (AMR) designs, Avnet uses simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms to create a map of the robot's surroundings using sensor data. The sensor network uses visual, optical, and acoustic sensors to detect and avoid obstacles, ensuring correct direction and safety. Throughout these processes, the motor drive system seamlessly collaborates with the sensor network's recognition, judgment, and decision-making responses to better monitor and control the AMR robot's motion and speed.
Avnet has integrated the Ultra 96-V2 with the TurtleBot3, an official ROS (Robot Operating System) standard platform robot. The TurtleBot3's core technologies, including SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), navigation, and control, make it ideal for autonomous security or home service robot applications. Avnet's Ultra 96-V2 uses AMD SDSoC and the Vivado HLS tool to accelerate the computationally intensive SLAM algorithm in AMD programmable logic, accessing it through the hardware accelerator's ROS abstraction layer. The integration of the Ultra 96-V2 and TurtleBot3 significantly improves robot performance.
Generally speaking, high energy efficiency, intelligence, and integration are the driving forces of innovation in motor drive technology. Avnet is committed to continuously improving its technology and services in this area, promoting the development and application of multifunctional robots and empowering industrial automation and an intelligent future. With the continuous advancement of technology, we believe that multifunctional robots will play an even more important role in future industry and life.
