Abstract
A brake piloting system including a robotic device having at least one movable element, at least one brake which, when activated from an open configuration to an activated configuration, enables a deceleration or immobilization of the at least one movable element, at least one position sensor aimed at measuring a real time position of the at least one movable element and at least one the microcontroller being configured to activate in real time the at least one brake into a determined configuration.
Claims15
A brake piloting system, said system comprising:
- a robotic device comprising at least one movable element,
- at least one brake which, when activated from an open configuration to an activated configuration, enables a deceleration or immobilization of the at least one movable element,
- at least one position sensor configured to measuring a real time position of the at least one movable element within an internal referential,
- at least one control unit comprising at least one microcontroller storing instructions comprising at least one given target position of the movable element, said at least one microcontroller being connected to the at least one position sensor and to the at least one brake;
- the microcontroller being configured to:
- receive the real time position of the movable element from the position sensor;
- determine in real time, for each real time position of the movable element, a corresponding configuration of the at least one brake using said real time position of the movable element, a predetermined activation position and the target position;
- activate in real time the at least one brake into said determined configuration,
- wherein, whenever the movable element overcomes the predetermined activation position, the determined configuration of the at least one brake is an activated configuration, and wherein, whenever the movable element is in the target position, the determined configuration of the at least one brake is a specific activated configuration wherein the movable element is immobilized.
