Abstract: A prototype SCARA robot with synchronous network control interface has been designed and constructed. This hardware structure can be employed and extended to simultaneously control multi-targets with a distributed local controller by the monitoring of a centralised controller through a synchronous network. Here a centralised controller is designed to control a SCARA robot without local controllers for each degree of freedom. Since the robotic manipulator has a complicated mathematical model, it is difficult to design a control system based on the multi-variable nonlinear coupling dynamic model. The model-free fuzzy logic control approach has gained much attention. The traditional fuzzy logic controller does not have a learning capability. It needs a lot of effort to search the optimal control rules and the shapes of membership functions. Due to the system's time-varying behaviour, the required tracking accuracy is difficult to achieve by adjusting the fuzzy rules only. To simplify the implementation problems of fuzzy control, the concept of pre-correction of the system output deviation is added to the fuzzy control structure using a grey predictor. The experimental results show that this fuzzy controller has improved the trajectory tracking accuracy and simplified the searching effort of fuzzy rules and membership functions obviously.
