Robust controllers have been developed by both control techniques QFT and H∞ applied in the waist, shoulder and elbow of a manipulator of 6 degrees of freedom. The design is based on the identification of a linear model of the robot dynamics which represents the non-linearity of the system using parametric uncertainty. QFT control methodology is used to tune the robust PID-controller and pre-filters of the system, and H∞ controllers are obtained by designing the weighting functions and using the MATLAB hinfopt tool. Finally the performance of robust controllers is compared designed based on the calculation and analysis of some behavioral indices.

The design and implementation of a robot manipulator with 6 Degrees Of Freedom (DOF), which constitutes a physical platform on which a variety of control techniques can be tested and studied, are presented. The robot has mechanical, electronic and control systems, and the intuitive graphic interface designed and implemented for it allows the user to easily command this robot and to generate trajectories for it . Materializing this work required the integration of knowledge in electronics, microcontroller programming, MatLab/Simulink programming, control systems, communication between PCs and microcontrollers, mechanics, assembly, etc.

SUMMARYIn this paper we show that a robot manipulator with 6 degrees of freedom can be separated into two parts: arm with the first three joints for major positioning and wrist with the last three joints for major orienting. We propose 5 arms and 2 wrists as basic construction for commercially robot manipulators. This kind of simplification can lead to a general algorithm of inverse kinematics for the corresponding configuration of different combinations of arm and wrist. The approaches for numerical solution and closed form solution presented in this paper are very efficient and easy for calculating the inverse kinematics of robot manipulator.

Abstract A Nonlinear Proportional-Derivative (NPD) controller with gravity compensation is proposed and applied to robot manipulators in this paper. The proportional and derivative gains are changed by the nonlinear function of errors in the NPD controller. The closed-loop system, composed of nonlinear robot dynamics and NPD controllers, is globally asymptotically stable in position control of robot manipulators. The comparison of the simulation experiments in the position control (the step response) of a robot manipulator with two degrees of freedom is also presented to illustrate that the NPD controller is superior to the conventional PD controller in a position control system. The experimental results show that the NPD controller can obtain a faster response velocity and higher position accuracy than the conventional PD controller in the position control of robot manipulators because the proportional and derivative gains of the NPD controller can be changed by the nonlinear function of errors. The NPD controller provides a novel approach for robot control systems.

In this paper neural network (NN) control techniques for non-model based PD controlled robot manipulators are proposed. The main difference between the proposed technique and the existing feedback error learning (FEL) technique is that compensation of robot dynamics uncertainties is done outside the control loop by modifying the desired input trajectory. By using different NN training signals, two NN control schemes are developed. One is comparable to that in the FEL technique and another has to deal with the Jacobian of the PD controlled robot dynamic system. Performances of both controllers for various trajectories with different PD controller gains are examined and compared with that of the FEL controller. It is shown that the new control technique performed better and robust to PD controller gain variations.

Abstract This paper describes a modular 2-DOF serial robotic system and accompanying experiments that have been developed to instruct robotics students in the fundamentals of dynamic force control. In prior work, we used this same robot to showcase and compare the performance of a variety of textbook techniques for dynamic motion control (i.e. fast/accurate trajectory tracking using dynamic model-based and robust control techniques). In this paper we now add a low-cost 3D-printed 2-DOF force sensor to this modular robot and demonstrate a variety of force control techniques for use when the robot is in physical contact with the environment. These include stiffness control, impedance control, admittance control, and hybrid position/force control. Each of these various force control schemes can be first simulated and then experimentally implemented using a MATLAB/Simulink real-time interface. The two-degrees of freedom are just enough to demonstrate how the manipulator Jacobian can be used to implement directional impedances in operational space, and to demonstrate how hybrid control can implement position and force control in different axes. This paper will describe the 2-DOF robot system including the custom force sensor, illustrate the various force control methods that can be implemented, and demonstrate sample results from these experiments.

In the present work, we develop an adaptive dynamic controller based on monocular vision for the tracking of objects with a three-degrees of freedom (DOF) Scara robot manipulator. The main characteristic of the proposed control scheme is that it considers the robot dynamics, the depth of the moving object, and the mounting of the fixed camera to be unknown. The design of the control algorithm is based on an adaptive kinematic visual servo controller whose objective is the tracking of moving objects even with uncertainties in the parameters of the camera and its mounting. The design also includes a dynamic controller in cascade with the former one whose objective is to compensate the dynamics of the manipulator by generating the final control actions to the robot even with uncertainties in the parameters of its dynamic model. Using Lyapunov’s theory, we analyze the two proposed adaptive controllers for stability properties, and, through simulations, the performance of the complete control scheme is shown.

As the offshore industry is developing into deeper and deeper waters Dynamic Positioning (DP) techniques are becoming more important to the industry. MARIN’s new multibody time domain simulation program aNySIM is recently extended with a module to simulate DP applications. The model is 6 degrees of freedom and includes a Kalman filter, PID controller and a Lagrange optimized allocation algorithm. Thruster interaction effects are taken into account in the model. The present paper focuses on the methods used in the numerical DP model. A typical case for a DP operated monohull drillship is presented and will be discussed in comparison with model test results.

This paper proposes an online direct closed-loop identification method based on a new dynamic sliding mode technique for robotic applications. The estimated parameters are obtained by minimizing the prediction error with respect to the vector of unknown parameters. The estimation step requires knowledge of the actual input and output of the system, as well as the successive estimate of the output derivatives. Therefore, a special robust differentiator based on higher-order sliding modes with a dynamic gain is defined. A proof of convergence is given for the robust differentiator. The dynamic parameters are estimated using the recursive least squares algorithm by the solution of a system model that is obtained from sampled positions along the closed-loop trajectory. An experimental validation is given for a 2 Degrees Of Freedom (2-DOF) robot manipulator, where direct and cross-validations are carried out. A comparative analysis is detailed to evaluate the algorithm’s effectiveness and reliability. Its performance is demonstrated by a better-quality torque prediction compared to other differentiators recently proposed in the literature. The experimental results highlight that the differentiator design strongly influences the online parametric identification and, thus, the prediction of system input variables.
