This paper deals with a new system design method for motion and vibration control of a three-dimensional flexible shaking table. An integrated modeling and controller design procedure for flexible shaking table system is presented. An experimental three-dimensional shaking table is built. “Reduced-Order Physical Model” procedure is adopted. A state equation system model is composed and a feedback controller is designed by applying LQI control law to achieve simultaneous motion and vibration control. Adding a feedforward, two-degree-of-freedom control system is designed. Computer simulations and control experiments are carried out and the effectiveness of the presented procedure is investigated. The robustness of the system is also investigated.

In this paper, five controllers including linear and nonlinear ones for an underactuated overhead crane are derived based on the passivity of the system. The total energy of the system and its square are used in Lyapunov candidate function to design controllers. The equilibrium point of the closed loop is proven to be asymptotically stable by the Lyapunov technique and LaSalle invariance theorem. In addition, the optimal linear controller is also combined to force the swing angle to converge fast to zero by reaching destination of the trolley. Numerical simulations are carried out to evaluate the controllers.

Abstract Uncontrollable shaking in the human wrist, caused by pathological tremor, can significantly undermine the power and accuracy in object manipulation. In this paper, the design of a tremor alleviating wrist exoskeleton (TAWE) is introduced. Unlike the works in the literature that only consider the flexion/extension (FE) motion, in this paper, we model the wrist joint as a constrained three-dimensional (3D) rotational joint accounting for the coupled FE and radial/ulnar deviation (RUD) motions. Hence TAWE, which features a six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) rigid linkage structure, aims to accurately monitor, suppress tremors, and provide light-power augmentation in both FE and RUD wrist motions. The presented study focuses on providing a fundamental understanding of the feasibility of TAWE through theoretical analyses. The analytical multibody modeling of the forearm–TAWE assembly provides insight into the necessary conditions for control, which indicates that reliable control conditions in the desired workspace can be acquired by tuning the design parameters. Nonlinear regressions are then implemented to identify the information that is crucial to the controller design from the unknown wrist kinematics. The proposed analytical model is validated numerically with V-REP and the result shows good agreement. Simulations also demonstrate the reliable performance of TAWE under controllers designed for tremor suppression and movement assistance.
