and, sometimes, a hard disk to
store the programmed data.
digital to analog converter
(DAC):a DAC converts the digital
signal of the robot controller into
an analog signal for driving the
actuators; for example, an electric
motor CD.
Amplifier: since the control
commands digital controller
converted into analog signals by
the ADC they are very weak,
require amplification to really
drive the electric motors of the
robot manipulator.
That the movement of the motors
and actuators to the links of the
manipulator is transmitted.
