Abstract

The hardware and software co-design for five axes robot arm, is aimed to perform pick and place operation by controlling the speed and position, using FPGA, H-bridge driver and Sensor circuit. Digital PWM is used to control speed of DC motor. The hardware functional block designed in software module with the help of VHDL coding as FPGA technology has blurred the distinction between hardware and software. Interfacing of different hardware blocks with software module for real time application is very challenging and demanding in every field to achieve better command over control through software without disturbing the hardware circuitry. It increases performance, accuracy and lifetime and reduces the manufacture time of particular system. This designed work is an educational based concept as robotic control is an exciting and high challenge research work in recent year.
