Sliding Mode Control of Motion and Vibration Without Sensors
Abstract In this paper, a method to realize the motion and vibration control without sensors is proposed. Sensorless control is generally realized by estimating the state of the system from the measured current in the actuator by means of an observer. It is possible to estimate all state variables because of dynamic interaction in the controlled object. Then we realize nonlinear robust control system based on the observer. In this paper, first we formulate sensorless control system. As controlled objects we deal with a multi-degree-of-freedom structure as a vibration control problem and a single link robot arm as a motion control problem, respectively, and we carry out numerical simulations. Moreover, we also verify the possibility of realization of sensorless control by experiments.
