When designing a control algorithm for a robot mechanism, there are a number of different approaches to take. These range from very simple approaches, to advanced and complex ones. Each has tradeoffs. Some will work better than others in different situations, some require more mathematical analysis than others. Teams should prioritize picking the easiest strategy which enables success on the field. However, as you do experiments, keep in mind there is almost always a “next-step” to take to improve your field performance. There are two fundamental types of mechanism controller that we will…
