The paper presents the dynamic analysis of a crane-like manipulator system equipped with complementary cables and ducted fan actuators. The investigated under-actuated mechanical system is described by a system of differential-algebraic equations. The position/orientation control problem is investigated with respect to the trajectory generation and the fine positioning of the payload. The closed form results include the desired actuator forces as well as the nominal load angle corresponding to the desired motion of the payload. Considering a PD controller, numerical simulation results and also experiments demonstrate the applicability of the concept of using complementary actuators for controlling the swinging motion of the payload.

SUMMARY In this paper, an online self-gain tuning method of a PD computed torque control (CTC) is used for a 3UPS-PS parallel robot. The CTC is applied to the 3UPS-PS parallel robot based on the robot dynamic model which is established via a virtual work principle. The control system of the robot comprises a nonlinear feed-forward loop and a PD control feedback loop. To implement real-time online self-gain tuning, an adjustment method based on the genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. Compared with the traditional CTC, the simulation results indicate that the control algorithm proposed in this study can not only enhance the anti-interference ability of the system but also improve the trajectory tracking speed and the accuracy of the 3UPS-PS parallel robot.

Computed Torque

This paper presents a motion control technique for flexible robots and manipulators. It takes into account both joint and link flexibility and can be applied in adaptive form if robot parameters are unknown. It solves the main problems that are related to the fact that the number of degrees of freedom exceeds both the number of actuators and the number of output variables. The proposed method results in trajectory tracking while all state variables remain bounded. Global, asymptotic stability is ensured for all values of the stiffnesses of joints and links. To show the characteristics of the proposed control law, some simulation results are presented.

Computed Torque

This paper aims to generalize the computed torque control method for underactuated systems which are modeled by a non-minimum set of generalized coordinates subjected to geometric constraints. The control task of the underactuated robot is defined in the form of servo constraint equations that have the same number as the number of independent control inputs. A PD controller is synthesized based on projecting the equations of motion into the nullspace of the distribution matrix of the actuator forces/torques. The results are demonstrated by numerical simulation and experiments conducted on a two degrees-of-freedom device.

This paper presents a robust control method for the trajectory control of the robotic manipulator. The standard Computed Torque Control (CTC) is an important method in the robotic control systems but its not robust to system uncertainty and external disturbance. The proposed method overcome the system uncertainty and external disturbance problems. In this paper, a robustification term has been added to the standard CTC. The stability of the proposed control method is approved by the Lyapunov stability theorem.  The performance of the presented controller is tested by MATLAB-Simulink environment and is compared with different control methods to illustrate its robustness and performance.

A development of a robot control system is a highly complex task due to nonlinear dynamic coupling between the robot links. Advanced robot control strategies often entail difficulties in implementation, and prospective benefits of their application need to be analyzed using simulation techniques. Computed torque control (CTC) is a feedforward control method used for tracking of robot’s time-varying trajectories in the presence of varying loads. For the implementation of CTC, the inverse dynamics model of the robot manipulator has to be developed. In this paper, the addition of CTC compensator to the feedback controller is considered for a Spatial disorientation trainer (SDT). This pilot training system is modeled as a 4DoF robot manipulator with revolute joints. For the designed mechanical structure, chosen actuators and considered motion of the SDT, CTC-based control system performance is compared with the traditional speed PI controller using the realistic simulation model. The simulation results, which showed significant improvement in the trajectory tracking for the designed SDT, can be used for the control system design purpose as well as within mechanical design verification.

This study aimed to eliminate dynamic uncertainty, one of the main problems of haptic teleoperation robotic systems. The optimal adaptive computed torque control method was used to overcome this problem. As is known, excellent stability and transparency are required in teleoperation systems. However, dynamic uncertainty that causes stability problems in the control of these systems also causes poor performance. In conventional adaptive computed torque control methods, updating the parameters of the system is generally discussed, but updating the control coefficients of vital importance in the control of the system is not considered. In the proposed method, an adaptation rule has been created to update uncertain parameters. In addition, the gray wolf optimization algorithm, one of the current optimization algorithms, has been proposed and applied to obtain the control coefficients of the system. The position tracking stability of the system was examined by using Lyapunov stability analysis method. As a result, both simulation and real-time optimal adaptive computational torque control method were used and bilateral position and force control was performed and the performance results of the system are obtained graphically and examined. Optimal adaptive computed torque control method obtained using the gray wolf optimization algorithm was used first in the literature search and success results have been obtained. In this regard, the authors have the idea that this work is an innovative aspect of both simulation and real time with the optimal adaptive computed torque control method.

For the trajectory following problem of an airship, the standard computed torque control law is shown to be robust with respect to unknown dynamics by judiciously choosing the feedback gains and the estimates of the nonlinear dynamics. In the first part of this paper, kinematics and dynamics modeling of the airships is presented. Euler angles and parameters are used in the formulation of this model and the technique of Computed Torque control is introduced. In the second part of the paper, we develop a methodology of control that allows the airship to accomplish a prospecting mission of an environment, as the follow-up of a trajectory by the simulation who results show that Computed Torque control method is suitable for airships.
