Progress

Week 1

Regarding our planning for the first week we came up with the following conclusions:

-making a literature research, we realized that PID controller is used in most industrial robots, and since it is the type of controller with which we are more familiar with, we will use PID.

-we can control the move of each axis (and so each motor) separately cause they are independent. So it is needed to construct 4 PID controller, since we can handle the problem as a 4 SISO systems problem.

-the design of PID controller is based on the fact that the output of the controller has to follow the setpoint trajectory.

-we will use as inputs for each motor sine wave, and to represent the disturbance we will use white noise.

-regarding the design criteria we need total time to transfer the pizzas at about 15 secs(less than that if it is possible), as high as possible velocity and acceleration (we have to take care that the pizzas should not fall down from the fork during the movement of the robot) and also the fork should not touch the holding brackets of the pizzas.
