Manipulator Robot

In this paper, we present robust control techniques applied on a manipulator robot system: modified sliding mode control (MSMC) and backstepping control (BSC). The purpose is to evaluate SMC and BSC performances, taking into account the model uncertainties. Then, the obtained results of MSMC technique are compared with those of the adaptive sliding mode. Both methods have comparable simulation results which show a good quality of robustness. However, simulation results prove that the modified SMC is more robust, mostly under the effect of external variations and uncertainties.

Simulation Results

In this paper, we consider the task of tracking a maneuvering target both with a single nonholonomic agent and a swarm of nonholonomic agents. In order to achieve the tracking task, a decentralized continuous-time control scheme, which combines artificial potentials and sliding mode control techniques, is developed via constructive analysis. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is established analytically and demonstrated via a set of simulation results.

Position Signal

The control algorithm normally used in Dynamic Positioning (DP) Systems is based on linear control theory (proportional-derivative or linear quadratic MIMO controller), coupled to an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the environmental forces and wave filtering. Such controllers and estimators have problems of performance and stability related to large variations of loading (for tankers for example) or environmental conditions. The adjustment of controller gains and parameters of EKF is a complex process. Therefore, other techniques are being applied. An investigation into the area of control of mechanical systems was made, carrying out theoretical and experimental studies involving nonlinear robust control techniques applied to dynamic positioning of floating vessels. Two robust control techniques were applied and compared: first order sliding mode control (SMC) and higher order sliding mode control (HOSM). It is known that the main drawback of SMC is the presence of high-frequency oscillations called chattering. This undesirable effect can be eliminated by using HOSM. In order to ascertain the performance of the controller under the DP system, time-domain simulations were done. Furthermore, the technique of sliding mode requires higher order derivatives of the vessel’s position signal. Therefore was developed an exact real-time differentiator, a mathematical technique used to obtain the signal derived from the position signal in real time. To validate the simulated controller, experimental tests were performed considering a small-scale model of a DP tanker. The results confirmed the robustness of the HOSM controller, the good performance of the differentiator and the elimination of the chattering problem.

Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are expected to play an important role in endowing the advanced robot with the compliant manipulation, which is very important for a robot to coexist and cooperate with humans. However, the strong nonlinear characteristics of PAMs hinder its wide application in robots, and therefore, advanced control algorithms are urgently needed for making the best use of the advantages and bypassing the disadvantages of PAMs. In this article, we propose a full-order sliding mode control extended state observer (fSMC-ESO) algorithm that combines the ESO and the fSMC for a robotic joint actuated by a pair of antagonistic PAMs. The fSMC is employed to eliminate the chattering and to guarantee the finite-time convergence, and the ESO is adopted to observe both the total disturbance and the states of the robot system, so that we can inhibit the disturbance and compensate the nonlinearity efficiently. Both simulations and physical experiments are conducted to validate the proposed method. We suggest that the proposed method can be applied to the robotic systems actuated by PAMs and remarkably improve the performance of the robot system.
