Abstract: In this thesis, the design of the motor driver electronic board is presented. The motor driver is designed on a Control Area Network bus based communication network. The motor driver is aimed to be used in a humanoid robot as controlling the joint actuators. The designed motor controllers in this project have the capability to be used in a network by multi clients in order to provide different joints control on a common bus. The performance evaluation test of system is made by commanding different desired positions to the controller. The desired positions are approached by the controller by different velocities. The controller is designed in order to provide controllability for the system even in the case of load unstability of the joint. Since the motor controller is aimed to be used for a humanoid robot, the load reflected unstability causes the variation of the overall pose of the robot. Finally, the results are compared and discussed for the evaluation of the designed motor controller.
