More Information
Summary:The laboratory of Systems Technology and Automatic Control at TECNUN has developed an electronic controller based on the Arduino platform to allow students to implement haptic algorithms in multiple mechatronic devices. This work describes the design and the development process of the controller. A PHANToM Premium 1.0 haptic device has been used to validate the interface. Control algorithms that properly control the platform and several experiments carried out to test the interface are also presented. The proposed system is an excellent testbed for students to put into practice their skills and learn multiple concepts in the domains of electronics, control and programming.
