Using a Development Platform with an STM32 Processor to Prototype an Inexpensive 4-DoF Delta Parallel Robot

Abstract

This article presents a construction prototype of a delta 4-DoF (Degree of Freedom) parallel robot. The structure of kinematic chain was described and the problem of inverse kinematic was formulated and solved. The author also proposed a concept of a control system. The dynamics of the control object were specified, a decision upon the controller and its settings was made, as well as simulation control studies of manipulator drive were conducted. The article contains a description of prepared applications and procedures as well as the research results of the manipulator.
