Control of a 6DOF Robotic Arm using LabVIEW

Real Time means in time. In other words, a real-time system ensures that responses occur in time, or on time. With general purpose operating systems, you cannot ensure that a response occurs within any given time period, and calculations might finish much later or earlier than expected Nowadays there are many applications that need to be executed in time. In this project, the idea is to make a first approach of a Real Time system, the environments that allowed this kind of control and how a complete project is created; step by step. It has been printed a 3D robotic arm that will be used to strengthen the concepts explained by designing a complete applications to control it. In order to control this prototype it will be used the myRIO, a device oriented to be used by students that are interested in control applications developed in LabVIEW. In this report it is explained from the theoretical concepts to the practical ones developed in LabVIEW, going through the use of different available tools used for transferring data from one part of the controller to the other.Ingeniería Electrónica Industrial y Automátic
