A disturbance observer-based hybrid sliding mode impedance control method is proposed in this paper, which is able to achieve robot end constant contact force-tracking control without force/torque sensors. The method requires only the values of joint torque, joint angle, and joint angular velocity, which are converted by robot servo motor signals, to implement the control. The control scheme consists of two parts: one is a disturbance observer and the other is a hybrid sliding mode impedance controller. The disturbance observer, which takes robot internal signals mentioned above as the inputs to estimate the robot end contact force, is designed based on generalized momentum, thus improving the estimation accuracy. The hybrid sliding mode impedance controller, which uses the values estimated by the disturbance observer and the robot internal signals as the inputs to calculate the corresponding position adjustment, integrates both the impedance control and sliding mode control, thus improving the force-tracking performance and robustness. Experimental results show that the proposed disturbance observer-based hybrid sliding mode impedance control method possesses high control precision.

As a simple and effective force tracking control method, impedance control is widely used in robot contact operations. The internal control parameters of traditional impedance control are constant and cannot be corrected in real time, which will lead to instability of control system or large force tracking error. Therefore, it is difficult to be applied to the occasions requiring higher force accuracy, such as robotic medical surgery, robotic space operation and so on. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a model reference adaptive variable impedance control method, which can realize force tracking control by adjusting internal impedance control parameters in real time and generating a reference trajectory at the same time. The simulation experiment proves that compared with the traditional impedance control method, this method has faster force tracking speed and smaller force tracking error. It is a better force tracking control method.

A model following adaptive sliding mode tracking control (MFASMTC) with the adjustable control gain based on a disturbance observer (DOB) for the mechanical system is proposed in this paper. The control gains of the proposed controller are automatically adjusted to compensate the unknown time-varying disturbances by the DOB. First, the unknown variables and uncertainties are lumped as the disturbance terms and the system dynamic model consist of the nominal matrix and disturbances vector. The desired model and sliding mode controller (SMC) are integrated by using the Lyapunov function candidate to obtain the general model following sliding mode tracking control (MFSMTC) with the fixed control gain. To stabilize and compensate the unknown time-varying disturbances for the control system, a DOB is combined with the MFSMTC to obtain the MFASMTC to automatically adjust the control gains. The mass-spring-damper system and two-link manipulator robot system are both used as examples system to demonstrate the proposed control scheme, respectively. The comparisons between MFSMTC with the fixed control gain and MFASMTC with the adjustable control gain based on a DOB are performed in this paper. From the simulation results, the proposed MFASMTC with the adjustable control gain based on a DOB demonstrates the stable and robust control performance for the unknown uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control method also can be applied to the other mechanical systems with the desired model to find the desired model following adaptive sliding mode tracking control.

This paper investigates a precise tracking control method based on an adaptive disturbance observer for the dual-motor driving system. The unknown matched disturbance is fully considered and estimated in this paper, and the estimation error is proven to be finite-time convergent. A sliding mode controller based on the multiple sliding surface technique is proposed in which the disturbance is compensated. The overall system containing both the observer and the controller is proven to be stable. The tracking error is within the neighbourhood of the origin before the observer completes its convergence and converges to zero thereafter. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the disturbance observer and the sliding mode controller.

Space manipulator is considered as one of the most promising technologies for future space activities owing to its important role in various on-orbit serving missions. In this study, a robust finite-time tracking control method is proposed for the rapid and accurate trajectory tracking control of an attitude-controlled free-flying space manipulator in the presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. First, a baseline finite-time tracking controller is designed to track the desired position of the space manipulator based on the homogeneous method. Then, a finite-time disturbance observer is designed to accurately estimate the lumped uncertainties. Finally, a robust finite-time tracking controller is developed by integrating the baseline finite-time tracking controller with the finite-time disturbance observer. Rigorous theoretical analysis for the global finite-time stability of the whole closed-loop system is provided. The proposed robust finite-time tracking controller has a relatively simple structure and can guarantee the position and velocity tracking errors converge to zero in finite time even subject to lumped uncertainties. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are really limited existing controllers can achieve such excellent performance under the same conditions. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control method.

End Effectors

Installing force-controlled end-effectors on the end of industrial robots has become the mainstream method for robot force control. Additionally, during the polishing process, contact force stability has an important impact on polishing quality. However, due to the difference between the robot structure and the force-controlled end-effector, in the polishing operation, direct force control will have impact during the transition from noncontact to contact between the tool and the workpiece. Although impedance control can solve this problem, industrial robots still produce vibrations with high inertia and low stiffness. Therefore, this research proposes an impedance matching control strategy based on traditional direct force control and impedance control methods to improve this problem. This method’s primary purpose is to avoid force vibration in the contact phase and maintain force–tracking performance during the dynamic tracking phase. Simulation and experimental results show that this method can smoothly track the contact force and reduce vibration compared with traditional force control and impedance control.
