LabView Based Control and Simulation of a Construction Robot

The paper describes a multiprocessor control system for construction robots integrated in a SOA designed as a layered CAD – CAE information structure. The motion control system addresses both the robot’s mobile carrier and the partially closed-loop arm of cylindrical type; their motion control is embedded in a multiprocessor Motion Control system for which programming library was developed. Experimental results concerning the motion control of the 5-d.o.f. robot arm are reported.
