This article aims at designing and implementing the "Hardware in the Loop" (HIL) technique, to evaluate the collaborative control algorithm of two mobile manipulator robots to carry out tasks of movement and manipulation of objects in an industrial environment. The developed control structure is made up of a centralized control algorithm, developed in Matlab mathematical software, which is linked to the HIL system, which contains both the kinematic model and the dynamic model of each robotic system programmed on the Raspberry Pi. To analyze the optimal functioning of the proposed control algorithm, an immersive virtual reality scenario is designed and implemented using the UNITY3D graphic engine, which facilitates interaction with the user.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
