In order to achieve higher energy efficiency for hydraulic systems the Load Sensing (LS) systems, i.e. a Variable Displacement Pump (VDP) with hydro-mechanical control system, can be considered as a state-of-the-art solution. However, as is well known, these traditional hydraulic LS-systems are usually characterized by difficulties in tuning, which can lead to system stability problems. In our previous studies, we have developed a high precision motion control for hydraulic manipulators with separate meter-in meter-out controlled hydraulic actuators. Our control approach was based on the Virtual Decomposition Control (VDC) approach that ensured high motion tracking performance while rigorously guaranteeing the system stability. In this paper, we propose both energy-efficient and high performance nonlinear model based motion control scheme that utilizes the developed servocontrolled Electric Load Sensing (ELS) system for hydraulic robotic manipulators. Experimental results are presented with the proposed ELS-controlled VDP and hydraulic manipulator lifting servoactuator that utilized a separate meter-in meter-out flow control scheme.

Abstract In this paper, an improved adaptive motion-force control approach is introduced to control the cooperative manipulators transporting a shared object under limited communication. The adaptive controller is designed based on the backstepping approach to control the motion of the handled object in the presence of uncertainties and external disturbances. Moreover, the force controller is established to maintain constant internal forces. An event-triggered (ET) mechanism is derived based on the Lyapunov analysis to deal with the bandwidth restrictions and maintain the system stability during the cooperative manipulation. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is investigated by comparing it with the existing variations of adaptive backstepping control (i.e., traditional and state augmented schemes). Moreover, the designed triggering mechanism is compared with different triggering conditions presented in the literature. The proposed control approach is further validated in a more realistic virtual robot experimentation platform (i.e., V-REP) using two SCORBOT-ER VPlus manipulators. From the TrueTime-based simulation runs, the proposed control scheme exhibits superior performance in tandem with efficient utilization of the network resources during the transportation task.

In this paper, a novel nonlinear model and high-precision lifting motion control method of a hydraulic manipulator driven by a proportional valve are presented, with consideration of severe system nonlinearities, various uncertainties as well as valve backlash/deadzone input nonlinearities. To accomplish this mission, based on the independent valve orifice throttling process, a new comprehensive pressure-flow model is proposed to uniformly indicate both the backlash and deadzone effects on the flow characteristics. Furthermore, in the manipulator lifting dynamics, considering mechanism nonlinearity and utilizing a smooth LuGre friction model to describe the friction dynamics, a nonlinear state-space mathematical model of hydraulic manipulation system is then established. To suppress the adverse effects of severe nonlinearities and uncertainties in the system, a high precision adaptive robust control method is proposed via backstepping, in which a projection-type adaptive law in combination with a robust feedback term is conducted to attenuate various uncertainties and disturbances. Lyapunov stability analysis demonstrates that the proposed control scheme can acquire transient and steady-state close-loop stability, and the excellent tracking performance of the designed control law is verified by comparative simulation results.

This paper considers a resolved kinematic motion control approach for controlling a spatial serial manipulator arm that is mounted on a vehicle base. The end-effector’s motion of the manipulator is controlled by a novel kinematic control scheme, and the performance is compared with the well-known operational-space control scheme. The proposed control scheme aims to track the given operational-space (end-effector) motion trajectory with the help of resolved configuration-space motion without using the Jacobian matrix inverse or pseudo inverse. The experimental testing results show that the suggested control scheme is as close to the conventional operational-space kinematic control scheme.

The goal of this work is to propose a latest design of a rotor speed and rotor flux modulus control approach for an induction machine using a Backstepping corrector with an integral action. The advantage of the Backstepping Strategy is the ability to manage a nonlinear system. The Lyapunov theory has been used to ensure the system stability. To improve the controller robustness proprieties the integral action is used, despite the system uncertainties and the existence of external disturbances. The unavailable rotor flux is recovered by estimation of the rotor flux of the machine based on the integration of the stator voltage expressions. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme under load disturbances, rotor resistance variation and low and high speed.

Teleoperated robotic manipulators can be used to remotely operate within hazardous, hard to reach or dangerous environments. In tasks requiring handling of heavy objects with high forces, hydraulic manipulators have remained the most practical solution. Contrary to the previous research on teleoperation of hydraulic manipulators based on linearization and linear control theory, the present study proposes a full-dynamics-based bilateral force-reflected teleoperation, designed between a multiple degrees-of-freedom (n-DOF) electrical master manipulator and an n-DOF hydraulic slave manipulator. The used teleoperation method allows arbitrary motion and force scaling between the n-DOF manipulators, effectively enabling the use of two greatly dissimilar manipulators. The proposed teleoperation system is demonstrated with a full-scale two-DOF hydraulic slave manipulator (having 475 kg payload attached to the tip) in a free-space motion task, and in a constrained motion task including both real and virtual constraints in the environment. Despite the inherent highly nonlinear dynamic behaviour of hydraulic systems and challenges in realizing a bilateral teleoperation, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed controller for full-dynamics-based teleoperation 1) can rigorously address the system nonlinearities, 2) can realize a high-performance bilateral teleoperation with hydraulic slave manipulators, and 3) is capable to operate in constrained motion with the environment having both real and virtual (i.e., artificially rendered) constraints.

Robust Motion Control

This paper deals with the high performance adaptive robust motion control of electrohydraulic servo system driven by dual vane hydraulic rotary actuator. The recently developed adaptive robust control theory is used to handle the nonlinearities and modelling uncertainties in hydraulic systems. Aside from the difficulty of handling parametric variations, the traditional adaptive robust controller (ARC) is also a little complicated in practice. To address these challenging issues, a simplified adaptive robust control with varying boundary discontinuous projection is developed to enhance the robustness of the closed-loop system, based on the features of hydraulic rotary actuator. Compared with previous ARC controller, the resulting controller has a simple algorithm for more suitable implementation and can handle parametric variations via nonlinear robust design. The controller theoretically achieves a guaranteed transient performance and final tracking accuracy in the presence of both parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities. Extensive simulation results are obtained for a hydraulic rotary actuator to verify the high performance nature of proposed control strategy.
