Safe Robot Manipulator Control Using Simulink

This video shows how you can program robot manipulator control algorithms such as trajectory tracking control with safety constraints using Simulink. A collaborative robot (cobot) is a robot that allows humans to work alongside the robot through direct interaction without conventional safeguarding fences. Safe robot manipulator control algorithms enable cobots for safe interaction with the objects in its workspace.

Algorithms for safe cobots operations can be designed, simulated, and implemented with Model-Based Design using Simulink^® blocks in Robotics System Toolbox™. You can implement algorithms such as Computed Torque Control, which can further be used to perform safe trajectory tracking control for human-robot collaboration. In this video, you will learn about a library of Simulink blocks to simplify implementing these control techniques for your robot manipulator control.
