Robustness-Guaranteed Observer-Based Control Strategy with Modularity for Cleantech EMLA-Driven Heavy-Duty Robotic Manipulator (2311.15843v4)
Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative observer-based modular control strategy in a class of n_a-degree-of-freedom (DoF) fully electrified heavy-duty robotic manipulators (HDRMs) to (1) guarantee robustness in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances, (2) address the complexities arising from several interacting mechanisms, (3) ensure uniformly exponential stability, and (4) enhance overall control performance. To begin, the dynamic model of HDRM actuation systems, which exploits the synergy between cleantech electromechanical linear actuators (EMLAs) and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), is investigated. In addition, the reference trajectories of each joint are computed based on direct collocation with B-spline curves to extract the key kinematic and dynamic quantities of HDRMs. To guarantee robust tracking of the computed trajectories by the actual motion states, a novel control methodology, called robust subsystem-based adaptive (RSBA) control, is enhanced through an adaptive state observer. The RSBA control addresses inaccuracies inherent in motion, including modeling errors, non-triangular uncertainties, and both torque and voltage disturbances, to which the EMLA-driven HDRM is susceptible. Furthermore, this approach is presented in a unified generic equation format for all subsystems to mitigate the complexities of the overall control system. By applying the RSBA architecture, the uniformly exponential stability of the EMLA-driven HDRM is proven based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed RSBA control performance is validated through simulations and experiments of the scrutinized PMSM-powered EMLA-actuated mechanisms.
