CAN-Based Communication Interface for Industrial Servomotor Control in a Biomimetic Transhumeral Prosthesis
摘要
This research presents the development of a communication interface based on Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol for industrial servomotors control in a biomimetic transhumeral prosthesis. The system employs an ESP32 microcontroller running FreeRTOS to coordinate two RMD X6 motors responsible for elbow and forearm movements. Architecture incorporates Wi-Fi connectivity, a multitasking software design, and an efficient power system using buck converters. Experimental results demonstrated high precision ( \(\pm 0.004^\circ \) ), data integrity (1:1 ratio), and thermal stability over 20 h of continuous operation. Findings validate CAN protocol use for real-time control in biomedical applications.
