Motion control
Motion control includes robotics, dynamic positioning of vessels and control of underwater vehicles. Motion control can be used in diagnostics or in control of mechanical systems.
Measurement of motion can be measurement of acceleration, velocity, force or position.
In motion control, forces or torques are used to move a mechanical system according to a desired trajectory. Motion control requires knowledge on modelling, simulation, system identification and trajectory generation. In addition, knowledge on servo systems and system dynamics is necessary. In the case of human diagnostics, knowledge on bio systems is required.
Main fields of competence:
- Advanced robotics (including model-based control and dynamic analysis)
