In this paper, we have considered the new extendable modular multi-DOFs link to have a larger reachable workspace and more dexterous manipulability, as compared to a typical link. As a part of the extendable modular robot (EMR), our link is implemented to allow free motion when performing required tasks. In addition, this paper deals with a function of adjusting the link’s length (within 25% of the nominal length). Our investigation also focuses on the dynamics of a multi-DOFs link and the nonlinear controller for a given trajectory. The simulation results show the effectiveness of this control approach.

In this paper we present a new control architecture based on the robust sliding mode control applied to control a nonlinear system (parallel cable robot). This approach is widely used to address the uncertainties and disturbances of nonlinear systems and to improve the performance of the robot in terms of tracking a desired path. A dynamic model is presented followed by the description of the control approach used. To do this, numerical simulations were carried out by developing a specific code including a graphical user interface for a user-friendly real time. The simulation results for a dynamic model with sliding mode control are discussed for different trajectories applied to this robot, to confirm the validity of accurate tracking of a desired path before future work description.

The trajectory-tracking performance of the automobile electro-coating conveying mechanism is severely interrupted by highly nonlinear crossing couplings, unmodeled dynamics, parameter variation, friction, and unknown external disturbance. In this article, a sliding mode control with a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed for high-accuracy motion control of the conveying mechanism. The nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to estimate not only the internal/external disturbance but also the model uncertainties. Based on the output of the nonlinear disturbance observer, a sliding mode control approach is designed for the hybrid series–parallel mechanism. Then, the stability of the closed-loop system is proved by means of a Lyapunov analysis. Finally, simulations with typical desired trajectory are presented to demonstrate the high performance of the proposed composite control scheme.
