AbstractThis paper focuses on the optimal tracking control problem for robot systems with environment interaction and actuator saturation. A control scheme combined with admittance adaptation and adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is developed. The unknown environment is modelled as a linear system and admittance controller is derived to achieve compliant behaviour of the robot. In the ADP framework, the cost function is defined with non-quadratic form and the critic network is designed with radial basis function neural network which introduces to obtain an approximate optimal control of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, which guarantees the optimal trajectory tracking. The system stability is analysed by Lyapunov theorem and simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Abstract This paper presents an optimal motion control scheme for a mechatronic actuator based on a dielectric elastomer membrane transducer. The optimal control problem is formulated such that a desired position set-point is reached with minimum amount of driving energy, characterized via an accurate physical model of the device. Since the considered actuator is strongly nonlinear, an approximated approach is required to practically address the design of the control system. In this work, an Adaptive Dynamic Programming based algorithm is proposed, capable of minimizing a cost function related to the energy consumption of the considered system. Simulation results are presented in order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, for different set-point regulation scenarios.

The problem of optimal tracking control for robot–environment interaction is studied in this article. The environment is regarded as a linear system and an admittance control with iterative linear quadratic regulator method is obtained to guarantee the compliant behaviour. Meanwhile, an adaptive dynamic programming-based controller is proposed. Under adaptive dynamic programming frame, the critic network is performed with radial basis function neural network to approximate the optimal cost, and the neural network weight updating law is incorporated with an additional stabilizing term to eliminate the requirement for the initial admissible control. The stability of the system is proved by Lyapunov theorem. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
