Contouring Control

Reduction of contour error is a very important issue for high precise contour tracking applications, and many control systems were proposed to deal with contour tracking problems for two/three axial translational motion systems. However, there is no research on cross-coupled contour tracking control for serial multi-DOF robot manipulators. In this paper, the contouring control of multi-DOF serial manipulators is developed for the first time and a new cross-coupled PD (CC-PD) control law is proposed, based on contour errors of the end-effector and tracking errors of the joints. It is a combination of PD control for trajectory tracking at joint level and PD control for contour tracking at the end-effector level. The contour error of the end-effector is transformed to the equivalent tracking errors of the joints using the Jacobian regulation, and the CC-PD control law is implemented in the joint level. Stability analysis of the proposed CC-PD control system is conducted using the Lyapunov method, followed by some simulation studies for linear and nonlinear contour tracking to verify the effectiveness of the proposed CC-PD control system.

SUMMARYAn active force control system for robotic deburring based on an active end effector is developed. The system utilizes a PUMA-560 six axis robot. The robot's structural dynamics, positioning errors, and the deburring cutting process are examined in detail. Based on ARMAX plant models identified using the least squares method, a discrete PID controller is designed and tested in real-time. The control system is shown to maintain the force within l N of the reference, and reduce chamfer depth errors to 0.12 mm from the 1 mm possible without closed-loop control.

Power Adjustment

Steam generator (SG) water level system is a highly complex nonlinear time-varying system. It is complicated at low power levels due to shrink and swell phenomena which must be considered for plant safety and availability. To improve the transient performance of the SG level subject to power adjustments, an innovative set-point function method is put forward in this paper. The set-point functions based on the inverse-control theory and the swell and shrink effect which generate a desirable reference input to the widespread cascade Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller of the level control system respectively. The set-point function can apply appropriate control to the feed-water flow rate duly depended on the pivotal time between the power adjustment decision and the real start time of adjustment. Finally, comparative simulation is carried out under the same condition of power adjustment. The simulation results demonstrate that the water level control system added set-point functions can restrain the disturbance and improve the transient performance effectively. The method added the Inverse Control-Based Set-Point (ICSP) function can achieve better control performances than the swell-based set-point (SBSP) function.

SUMMARYThis paper presents an advanced control system for an active compliant device. This device, a manipulator-gripper, was designed to achieve stable grasp of objects with various shapes and to impart compliant fine motions to the grasped object. In the control system of this end-effector, we introduced autonomous reasoning capabilities. Fine motion strategies, needed for mating or grasping, use inductive learning from experiments to achieve uncertainty and error recovery. An overview of the articulated gripper's structure is provided for a better understanding of the programming environment we propose. For solving the problem of synthesis programs for fine motion planning we introduce declarative programming facilities in the controller through a time-sensitive mini-prolog. The paper gives some details on the implementation of this mini-prolog. We develop a heuristic procedure to obtain an implicit local model of contacts in complex assembly tasks. Finally, a specific example of this approach – a peg-in-hole operation– –is outlined.

Due to the high stiffness, high dynamic performance, the parallel manipulator presents great advantages in the industrial manufacture. However in the machining process, the external low frequency disturbance, e.g. the varying cutting force, has a significant effect on the control system of parallel manipulator, which presents a chatter phenomenon on the end-effector of manipulator. In this paper, a feed forward control strategy is proposed to eliminate the effect of the random external disturbance on the control system of parallel manipulator. By applying the external disturbance force on the inverse dynamic model, the compensation torque is calculated and fed forward into the manipulator driving joints to cancel out the effect of the disturbance acting on the manipulator end-effector. The key issue herein is to be able to establish the accurate dynamic model for the parallel manipulator. Furthermore, in order to guarantee the position precision of the manipulator, a feed forward model-based control strategy combined with the feedback loop PV (position and velocity) control has been developed based on the reference trajectory, which could relatively simplify the highly nonlinear control system of the parallel manipulator and obtain a stable tracking error model. The whole research has been carried out on a parallel manipulator named CaPaMan which has been built in the laboratory of robotics and mechatronics in university of Cassino and South Latium. The results show that the chatter phenomenon could be utterly depressed by the force compensation from the feed forward path of the external disturbance; meanwhile the model-based controller can guarantee the trajectory tracking accuracy within a stable error by choosing the suitable PV gains.
