The purpose of the thesis is the development of a controller for a parallel robotic platform using Simulink Real-Time. We derived and implemented mathematical models for the inverse and direct kinematics of the parallel robot which were than saved as program libraries. Along with the development of a CAN communication subprogram this enabled us to make a position controller for the robot in its external coordinates. With the adequate implementation of controller register mapping we achieved a frequency of 500 Hz for communication over the CAN bus. Using an external measuring system, we confirmed high precision and accuracy for the end effector pose calculations.
