Abstract

Impedance controllers can be implemented on different computing platforms and with different software solutions. In order to guide designers in choosing the most suitable option for their application, this project will seek to quantify the real-time capacity of different combinations of hardware and software for real-time control using reference instrumentation devices (ie atomic clocks) available in the EESC Reference Systems Lab, ultimately generating a benchmark of real-time systems.
