Design of robot platform based on CAN bus

Abstract

The modular designed by robotic platform for pluggable. The circuit module connected via CAN bus can reduce the complexity of the robot control system design and increase the reliability and flexibility. Robot platform uses a distributed circuit control structure based on the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 development of STM32 series chips, which could meet the actual needs by adding modules, such as wireless communication module, sensor module, the joint motion control module. Meanwhile, a variety of forms of bionic robot could been established with the multi-purpose robot frame and PC software, for the aims of making all parts coordinated and realizing intelligent control of the complex actions.
