Abstract
Automated manufacturing facilities are governed by resilient control systems that need little or negligible human interaction. Broadly speaking, an industrial controller is responsible for transmitting instructions to machinery in order to carry out a designated operation, while also receiving feedback data that enables it to oversee and ascertain the accurate implementation of those instructions. This article examines the several elements and software systems included in the control of industrial robots. This paper examines the significance of sensors, axis controllers, and actuators in attaining accurate control over industrial robots. The use of industrial Ethernet technology is emphasized as a viable approach to mitigate the issues associated with excessive wiring and interference. The essay also highlights the need of offline programming tools and impedance control in order to enhance programming efficiency and facilitate natural contact with robots. Furthermore, this paper examines the difficulties and progress made in the realm of robot control specifically in relation to tasks such as bin picking, assembly, and machining.
