PID controlled 2D precision robot

Abstract

Proportional integral differential (PID) feedback systems are known for their robustness, accuracy and stability. These systems are used in a wide variety of applications. In this paper, we explore the possibility of using a PID architecture in robotic 2D navigation systems. The prototype system developed can be implemented for robotic applications that require high precision movement to follow the control provided for an unmanned, autonomous driving system. A prototype 2D precision robot is developed, in which the PID algorithm is implemented. Experiments are conducted to ascertain the feasibility and effectiveness of PID controller in enabling high precision of robotic movements in two dimensions.
