This paper proposes a position control method for low cost EGR valve system in automotive application. Generally, position control system using in automotive application has many restrictions such as cost and space, the mechanical structure of actuator implies high friction and large difference between static friction and coulomb friction. This large friction difference occurs the vibrated position control result when the controller uses conventional linear controller such as P, PI. In this paper, low cost position control method which can apply under the condition of high difference friction mechanical system. Proposed method is verified by comparing conventional control result of experiments.

This paper proposes a position control method for a low-cost exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve system for automotive applications. Generally, position control systems used in automotive applications have many restrictions, such as cost and space. The mechanical structure of the actuator causes high friction and large differences between static friction and coulomb friction. When this large friction difference occurs, the position control vibrates when the controller uses a conventional linear controller such as the P or PI controller. In this paper, we introduce an inexpensive position control method that can be applied under the high-difference-friction mechanical systems. The proposed method is verified through the use of experiments by comparing it with the results obtained when using a conventional control system.

Robotic pick-and-place operation is planned for handling hard objects with on-off control gripper. It does not have force monitoring capability for safe grasping soft objects. Current force/torque sensor is too expensive and difficult to implement. Here, a low cost embedded control structure is designed with distributed FPGA robotic position control and gripper Arduino force control kernels. A model-free intelligent fuzzy sliding mode control strategy is employed to design the position controller of each robotic joint and gripper force controller. Experimental results show that the position and force tracking control errors of this robotic system are less than 1 mm and 0.1 N, respectively for pick-and-place different soft foods.

A novel control method is proposed to achieve high trajectory tracking precision, for flexible-joint manipulators. The method consists of three major parts: joint torque generator, joint torque tracker and motor position controller. The expected torque is generated by a PID controller based on the manipulator’s rigid dynamics model. In the torque tracker, motor position is corrected in both feedback and feedforward ways. Finally, the motor position controller is responsible to track the corrected motor trajectory to achieve the torque and position control. To suppress nonlinear friction, a disturbance observer is also implemented. The method is verified with a seven-DOFs manipulator. Simulation and experimental results show that, the proposed method is efficient and practical to suppress vibration caused by flexible transmission and disturbance due to friction. As result, high positioning accuracy is achieved in a certain wide working speed range. The no-load motion accuracy is better than 0.6 mm with a manipulator whose length is 1.8 meter, and the motion error is less than 3 mm with loading of four kilograms.

A PID controller based on Back-propagation neural networks is presented and used to the pneumatic proportional positioning system in this paper. A proportional valve-cylinder without rod system for buffering and positioning, which is controlled by microcomputer, is designed and completed in this paper. The experimental results show that the system gains self-adaptability because of the application of this control method. And the buffering and positioning of the cylinder can be implemented under different working conditions.

As an important driver element, the pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is widely used in industrial applications for many automation purposes thanks to their variety of advantages. The design of a stable robust position controller for PAM is difficult since it is a very nonlinear time-variant controlled plant because of the compressibility of air, air mass flow rate through the valve, etc. The main contribution of this paper is a robust position control method based on sliding mode for pneumatic muscle actuator. Finally, it presents experimental results.

Force and position sensors have been widely used in robots to realize compliance and precise control. Traditional force/position control methods were studied and developed by the inverse dynamics for decades. Generally speaking, the controller contains two parts: One is the error-driven part that guarantees system stability; another is the identification model of inverse dynamics that can compensate for system influence. In practical control engineering, a system inverse dynamics or its identification model is not easy to obtain, even when using nonlinear estimation methods. Moreover, the complicated control algorithm cannot be implemented in on-board microprocessors because of the limited speed and memory. Thus, a simplified control method using a forward system model is introduced in this paper. Since the direct dynamics of the system can be more easily obtained than the inverse dynamics, this, in turn, simplifies the control structure and increases control speed. Therefore, the proposed control policy has a wider practical application.
