In this study, universal motion command generator systems utilizing a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and an interface board for Robotics and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) applications have been developed. These command generation systems can be classified into two main groups as polynomial approximation and data compression based methods. In the former type of command generation methods, the command trajectory is firstly divided into segments according to the inflection points. Then, the segments are approximated using various polynomial techniques. The sequence originating from modeling error can be further included to the generated series. In the second type, higher-order differences of a given trajectory (i.e. position) are computed and the resulting data are compressed via lossless data compression techniques. Besides conventional approaches, a novel compression algorithm is also introduced in the study. This group of methods is capable of generating trajectory data at variable rates in forward and reverse directions. The generation of the commands is carried out according to the feed-rate (i.e. the speed along the trajectory) set by the external logic dynamically. These command generation techniques are implemented in MATLAB and then the best ones from each group are realized using FPGAs and their performances are assessed according to the resources used in the FPGA chip, the speed of command generation, and the memory size in Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) chip located on the development board.

Universal command generator for robotics and cnc machinery Akıncı, Arda; Dölen, Melik; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) In this study a universal command generator has been designed for robotics and CNC machinery. Encoding techniques has been utilized in order to represent the commands and their efficiencies have been discussed. The developed algorithm generates the trajectory of the end-effector with linear and circular interpolation in an offline fashion, the corresponding joint states and their error envelopes are computed with the utilization of a numerical inverse kinematic solver with a predefined precision. Finally, t...
Design, fabrication and implementation of a vibration based mems energy scavenger for wireless microsystems Sarı, İbrahim; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) This thesis study presents the design, simulation, micro fabrication, and testing steps of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based electromagnetic micro power generators. These generators are capable of generating power using already available environmental vibrations, by implementing the electromagnetic induction technique. There are mainly two objectives of the study: (i) to increase the bandwidth of the traditional micro generators and (ii) to improve their efficiency at low frequency environmental v...
An asynchronous system design and implementation of an FPGA Ayyıldız, Nizam; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are widely used in prototyping digital circuits. However commercial FPGAs are not very suitable for asynchronous design. Both the architecture of the FPGAs and the synthesis tools are mostly tailored to synchronous design. Therefore potential advantages of the asynchronous circuits could not be observed when they are implemented on commercial FPGAs. This is shown by designing an asynchronous arithmetic logic unit (ALU), implemented in the style of micropipelines, on th...
An FPA based BLDC motor control system Uygur, Serdar; Güran, Hasan Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In this thesis, position and current control systems for a brushless DC (Direct Current) motor are designed and integrated into one FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip. Experimental results are obtained by driving the brushless DC motors of Control Actuation System of a guided missile. Because of their high performance, brushless DC motors are widely used in Control Actuation Systems of guided missiles. In order to control the motor torque, current controller is designed and implemented in the FPGA. P...
Evaluation of compression algorithms for motion command generation Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2011-04-15) This paper focuses on a direct command generation technique for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine systems. In this paradigm, higher-order differences of a given trajectory (i.e, position) are computed and the resulting data are compacted via data compression techniques. As a part of the command generation scheme, the paper also introduces a new data compression technique titled ΔY10. Apart from this new method, the performances of the proposed generator employing different compression algorithms (suc...
