This paper presents the design and analysis of a high performance robust controller for the Stewart platform manipulator. The controller is a variable structure controller that uses a linear sliding surface which is designed to drive both tracking and synchronization errors to zero. In the controller the model based equivalent control part of the sliding mode controller is computed in task space and the discontinuous switching controller part is computed in joint space and hence it is a hybrid of the two approaches. The hybrid implementation helps to reduce computation time and to achieve high performance in task space without the need to measure or estimate 6DOF task space positions. Effect of actuator friction, backlash and parameter variation due to loading have been studied and simulation results confirmed that the controller is robust and achieves better tracking accuracy than other types of sliding mode controllers and simple PID controller.

A novel variable structure compensation PID control, VSCPID in short, is proposed for trajectory tracking of asymmetrical hydraulic cylinder systems. This new control method improves the system robustness by adding a variable structure compensation term to the conventional PID control. The variable structure term is designed according to sliding mode control method and therefore could compensate the disturbance and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the proposed control method avoids the requirements for exact knowledge of the systems associated with equivalent control value in SMC that means the controller is simple and easy to design. The stability analysis of this approach is conducted with Lyapunov function, and the global stability condition applied to choose control parameters is provided. Simulation results show the VSCPID control can achieve good tracking performances and high robustness compared with the other control methods under the uncertainties and varying load conditions.

The sensorless control system of permanent magnet synchronous motor is a system with an uncertainty and external disturbance. This paper uses the control law of equivalent control matched with switching control according to the theory of variable structure with sliding mode control, and achieves a robust control of the uncertainty and external disturbance. In order to eliminate the adverse effect caused by the chattering of the sliding mode, a saturation function of the quasi-sliding mode is used instead of the traditional sign function. Simulations and experiments prove that this control technology has a nicer dynamic and static performance.

In order to solve the high-frequency chattering and low anti-disturbance in conventional variable structure control (VSC) method with sliding mode, a compensator scheme of introducing integral structure before control object is proposed. Firstly, the position loop VSC state equations and equivalent control model are established based on the analyses of the mathematical model of permanent magnet linear synchronous machine (PMLSM). Then it presents a more accurate and comprehensive method to determine the control parameters and the equivalent model parameters. Computer simulation with the motor parameters of a flat type PMLSM verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the compensator structure. Compared with the conventional VSC, the proposed structure can solve the vibration caused by external disturbance and load variations, and attenuate the chattering effectively. It is concluded through further analyses that the proposed structure can overcome the system oscillations generated by mover mass and permanent magnet flux linkage, and improve the robustness and control precision of the system.

The rapidity and tracking accuracy of the stabilized tracking system are mainly influenced by nonlinearity Currently, various methods has concentrated on nonlinear compensation such as optimal control and sliding mode variable structure. However, the optimal control method needs precise mathematical model, and sliding mode variable structure method leads to fluctuations of the output. Thus, this paper firstly builds a physical model of the tracking system, and then designs a differential ahead and disturbance observer (DOB) controller for stabilization loop, and a disturbance observer is used to compensate nonlinearity. A case study of a single-axis motion simulator is presented to validate the proposed method. The experiment result shows that the proposed method can obviously improve the stabilized tracking platforms performance in terms of accuracy and fast tracking ability.

Modelling and control for a large-scale manipulator, the structure of which is a three-link manipulator with hydraulic actuators is studied in the presented paper. Firstly, a numerically efficient simulation model is set up for the purpose of real time and control application. Secondly, a control using sliding mode is developed to exploit the full potential of the hydraulic manipulator. In order to design sliding mode control to track a trajectory of the end effector in task space directly, it is necessary to build a mapping between the joint space coordinate to the task space. To demonstrate the control performance, Proportional control is used for simulation to compare with SMC, and the experimental results are also given.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy PI-sliding mode control (AFPISMC) is proposed for induction motor (IM) speed control. First, an adaptive sliding-mode controller (APISMC) with a proportional plus integral equivalent control action is investigated, in which a simple adaptive algorithm is utilized for generalised soft-switching parameters. The proposed control design uses the fuzzy logic techniques to dynamically control parameter settings of the SMC equivalent control action. The theoretical analyses for the proposed fuzzy PI-sliding-mode controller are described in detail. Simulated results show that the proposed controller provides high-performance dynamic characteristics and is robust with regard to plant parameter variations and external load disturbance.
