Procurement Information
UK AEA requires this manipulator and controller to have a robotic control system which would allow a user-defined servo control, in which current demands to the motor drivers of the robot are calculated by bespoke control algorithms. In this way any proprietary control law implemented by the manufacturer should be overridable by the user-defined one. The controller should also implement a ROS 2 interface to allow real-time exchange of data with third party devices/software through the Data Distribution Service (DDS) protocol." UK AEA has identified the Comau G5G controller as the only "open" controller on the market in the sense described above. Furthermore, the C5G controller is now ROS-2 compatible, which makes it the best system architecture for DEMO RMTF in the current landscape of industrial controller technology..
