Research on the multilayered animatronics system with CAN

CAN을 이용한 계층구조를 갖는 분산형 애니매트로닉스 시스템에 관한 연구

The aninmatronics is a technique for representing animals or new kinds of living things like aliens with robots and machines. The motions of cameras and objects can be made complicatedly and finely by using various kinds of actuators. But it needs so many actuators to make complicated motions. To handle difficulty to synchronize actuators and to make a database of motions of actuators, the animatronics system that has layered structure with CAN is proposed. The system is devided by a three layers-PC, microcontrollers and actuators so that the problems which arise from using too many actuators such as management of data and time delay of processing data can be handled.
