Abstract
Recently, many studies on biomimetic experiment system are conducted. In this paper, unique mechatronics experiment systems using three types of motors are proposed for undergraduate students to be able to learn the basic mechatronics techniques based on biomimetics. The first system is developed to learn a stepping motor control using pulse signal. The second system is effective to learn A/D conversion for several sensor information, D/A conversion for DC motor control and a PID control method. Also, the third system is designed by using a robot arm with 4-DOFs to learn PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control of a DC motor and force control of an end-effector. Further, the fourth system is designed using multiple mobile robots and a subsumption control architecture. Furthermore, a four-legged robot is proposed to learn how to control multiple servo motors and how to design a gait diagram. The effectiveness of the proposed systems is now being evaluated through experimental lectures in the department of mechanical engineering, Tokyo University of Science, Yamaguchi.
