In this paper, a new position domain synchronization control (PDSC) law is proposed for contour control of multi-DOF nonlinear robotic manipulators with the main goal of improving contour tracking performance. The robotic manipulator is treated as a master-slave motion system, where the position of the master motion is used as an independent reference via equidistant sampling, and the slave motions are described as functions of the master motion. To build this relationship, the dynamics of the original system is transformed from time domain to position domain. The new control introduces synchronization and coupled errors in the control law to further coordinate the master and slave motions. Stability analysis is performed based on the Lyapunov method for the proposed PDSC, and simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the developed control system.

Developed in this thesis is a new control law focusing on the improvement of contour tracking of robotic manipulators. The new control scheme is a hybrid controller based on position domain control (PDC) and position synchronization control (PSC). On PDC, the system’s dynamics are transformed from time domain to position domain via a one-to-one mapping and the position of the master axis motion is used as reference instead of time. The elimination of the reference motion from the control input improves contouring performance relative to time domain controllers. Conversely, PSC seeks to reduce the error of the systems by diminishing the synchronization error between each agent of the system. The new control law utilizes the aforementioned techniques to maximize the contour performance. The Lyapunov method was used to prove the proposed controller’s stability. The new control law was compared to existing control schemes via simulations of linear and nonlinear contours, and was shown to provide good tracking and contouring performances.

For multi-axis motion control applications, contour tracking is one of the most common control problems encountered by industrial manipulators and robots. In this paper, a position domain PD control method is proposed for the purpose of improving the contour tracking performance. To develop the new control method, the multi-axis motion system is viewed as a master-slave motion system where the master motion is sampled equidistantly and used as an independent variable, while the slave motions are described as functions of the master motion according to the contour tracking requirements. The dynamic model of the multi-axis motion system is developed in the position domain based on the master motion by transforming the original system dynamic equations from the time domain to the position domain. In this control methodology, the master motion will yield zero tracking error for the position as it is used as reference, and only the slave motion tracking errors will affect the final contour tracking errors. The proposed position domain PD controller is successfully examined in a Cartesian robotic system for linear motion tracking and circular contour tracking.

This paper presents a methodology of vision-based pose and motion estimation of non-cooperative targets as well as a control scheme for robotic manipulators to perform autonomous capture of non-cooperative targets. A combination of photogrammetry and extended Kalman filter is proposed for real time state estimation of the non-cooperative target. Once the vision-based estimation is obtained, a real state of the target regarding to the global frame is calculated based on the transformation matrices of coordinate frames. So as to make a capture, a desired state of the end effector is defined in accordance with the real state of the target aforementioned, and further a corresponding desired state of the robotic manipulator is derived by inverse kinematics. Then a close-loop control scheme is adopted to drive the robot to the desired state previously obtained. Experiments have been designed and implemented on a custom built six degrees of freedom robotic manipulator with an eye-in-hand configuration. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methodology and control scheme.

AbstractA new robust control procedure for robot manipulators is proposed in this paper. Coefficients diagram method controllers CDM and Backstepping methodology are combined to create the novel control law. Two steps of backstepping on the resulting system are used to design a nonlinear CDM-Backstepping controller. Simulations on a PUMA robot including external disturbances, parametric uncertainties and noises are performed to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Abstract Repetitive motion planning (RMP) is important in operating redundant robotic manipulators. In this paper, a new RMP scheme that is based on the pseudoinverse formulation is proposed for redundant robotic manipulators. Such a scheme is derived from the discretization of an existing RMP scheme by utilizing the difference formula. Then, theoretical analysis and results are presented to show the characteristic of the proposed RMP scheme. That is, this scheme possesses the characteristic of cube pattern in the end-effector planning precision. The proposed RMP scheme is further extended and studied for redundant robotic manipulators under joint constraint. Based on a four-link robotic manipulator, simulation results substantiate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed RMP scheme and its extended one.

The article focuses on the implementation of the globalized dual-heuristic dynamic programming algorithm in the discrete tracking control system of the three degrees of freedom robotic manipulator. The globalized dual-heuristic dynamic programming algorithm is included in the approximate dynamic programming algorithms family, that bases on the Bellman’s dynamic programming idea. These algorithms generally consist of the actor and the critic structures realized in a form of artificial neural networks. Moreover, the control system includes the PD controller, the supervisory term and an additional control signal. The structure of the supervisory term derives from the stability analysis, which was realized using the Lyapunov stability theorem. The control system works on-line and the neural networks’ weight adaptation process is realized in every iteration step. A series of computer simulations was realized in Matlab/Simulink software to confirm performance of the control system.
