Adaptive input shaping for maneuvering flexible structures

In the control of flexible structures many methods are used to reduce residual vibration due to the excitation of flexible modes. Input shaping, a feed-forward method, typically convolves the input with a sequence of impulses that are independent of the system maneuver. While reducing the residual vibration, input shaping extends the duration of the maneuver command by the length of the input shaper. This paper explores the idea of adaptive input shaping which allows a fast input shaper to be used while providing robustness to parameter uncertainty by tuning the shaper to the flexible mode frequency. The adaptive input shaping method presented can adapt between maneuvers or during maneuvers. Analysis yields a large range of convergence that is verified by simulation and shows this method to be less complex than other adaptive approaches.     

Modified PID Control of a Single-Link Flexible Robot

The use of flexible links in robots has become very common in different engineering fields. The issue of position control for flexible link manipulators has gained a lot of attention. Using the vibration signal originating from the motion of the flexible-link robot is one of the important methods used in controlling the tip position of the single-link arms. Compared with the common methods for controlling the base of the flexible arm, vibration feedback can improve the use of the flexible-link robot systems. In this paper a modified PID control (MPID) is proposed which depends only on vibration feedback to improve the response of the flexible arm without the massive need for measurements. The arm moves horizontally by a DC motor on its base while a tip payload is attached to the other end. A simulation for the system with both PD controller and the proposed MPID controller is performed. An experimental validation for the control of the single-link flexible arm is shown. The robustness of the proposed controller is examined by changing the loading condition at the tip of the flexible arm. The response results for the single-link flexible arm are presented with both the PI and MPID controller used. A study of the stability of the proposed MPID is carried out.     

Simultaneous optimization of a two‐link flexible robot arm

Integrated structure–control design of a two‐link flexible robot arm is investigated in this article. The whole arm consists of two flexible links, a fixed joint, a moving joint, and a tip load. The arm is driven by the torque motors at the two joints to reach predefined tip positions and to suppress residual flexural vibrations. The links of the arm are modeled using the finite element method and the cross‐sectional dimensions of the beam elements are used as structural design variables. A sliding mode controller and a linear stabilizer are used to regulate the arm position. The structural and the control parameters of the whole arm system are optimized simultaneously using a genetic algorithm and the performance is compared with that of an arm with uniform links and an optimized control system. The simulation result shows that faster regulation and less weight of the arm system can be achieved by simultaneous optimization. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Preshaping input trajectories of industrial robots for vibration suppression

This paper presents several novel methods that improve the current input shaping techniques for vibration suppression for multi-degree of freedom industrial robots. Three different techniques, namely, the optimal S-curve trajectory, the robust zero-vibration shaper, and the dynamic zero-vibration shaper, are proposed. These methods can suppress multiple vibration modes of a flexible joint robot under a computed torque control based on a rigid model. The time delays for each method are quantified and compared. The optimal S-curve trajectory finds the maximum jerk to obtain the minimum vibration. The robust zero-vibration shaper can suppress multiple modes without an accurate model. The delay of the dynamic zero-vibration shaper is smaller than the existing input shaping techniques. Our analysis is verified both by simulation and experiment with a six degrees-of-freedom commercial industrial robot.

针对传统煤矸石分拣机械臂控制算法如抓取函数法、基于费拉里法的动态目标抓取算法等依赖于精确的环境模型、且控制过程缺乏自适应性,传统深度确定性策略梯度(DDPG)等智能控制算法存在输出动作过大及稀疏奖励容易被淹没等问题,对传统DDPG算法中的神经网络结构和奖励函数进行了改进,提出了一种适合处理六自由度煤矸石分拣机械臂的基于强化学习的改进DDPG算法。煤矸石进入机械臂工作空间后,改进DDPG算法可根据相应传感器返回的煤矸石位置及机械臂状态进行决策,并向相应运动控制器输出一组关节角状态控制量,根据煤矸石位置及关节角状态控制量控制机械臂运动,使机械臂运动到煤矸石附近,实现煤矸石分拣。仿真实验结果表明:改进DDPG算法相较于传统DDPG算法具有无模型通用性强及在与环境交互中可自适应学习抓取姿态的优势,可率先收敛于探索过程中所遇的最大奖励值,利用改进DDPG算法控制的机械臂所学策略泛化性更好、输出的关节角状态控制量更小、煤矸石分拣效率更高。     

Adaptive input shaping for manoeuvring flexible structures using an algebraic identification technique

Input shaping is an efficient feedforward control technique which has motivated a great number of contributions in recent years. Such a technique generates command signals with which manoeuvre flexible structures without exciting their vibration modes. This paper presents a novel adaptive input shaper based on an algebraic non-asymptotic identification. The main characteristic of the algebraic identification in comparison with other identification methods is the short time needed to obtain the system parameters without defining initial conditions. Thus, the proposed adaptive control can update the input shaper during each manoeuvre when large uncertainties are present. Simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed method.     

Time-optimal and Smooth Trajectory Planning for Robot Manipulators

This paper presents a practical time-optimal and smooth trajectory planning algorithm and then applies it to robot manipulators. The proposed algorithm uses the time-optimal theory based on the dynamics model to plan the robot’s motion trajectory, constructs the trajectory optimization model under the constraints of the geometric path and joint torque, and dynamically selects the optimal trajectory parameters during the solving process to prominently improve the robot’s motion speed. Moreover, the proposed algorithm utilizes the input shaping algorithm instead of the jerk constraint in the trajectory optimization model to achieve a smooth trajectory. The input shaping of trajectory parameters during postprocessing not only suppresses the residual vibration of the robot but also takes the signal delay caused by traditional input shaping into account. The combination of these algorithms makes the proposed time-optimal and smooth trajectory planning algorithm ensure absolute time optimality and achieve a smooth trajectory. The results of an experiment on a six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot indicate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

     

Dynamics and Noncollocated Model‐Free Position Control for a Space Robot with Multi‐Link Flexible Manipulators

In this paper, both the dynamics and noncollocated model‐free position control (NMPC) for a space robot with multi‐link flexible manipulators are developed. Using assumed modes approach to describe the flexible deformation, the dynamic model of the flexible space robotic system is derived with Lagrangian method to represent the system dynamic behaviors. Based on Lyapunov's direct method, the robust model‐free position control with noncollocated feedback is designed for position regulation of the space robot and vibration suppression of the flexible manipulators. The closed‐loop stability of the space robotic system can be guaranteed and the guideline of choosing noncollocated feedback is analyzed. The proposed control is easily implementable for flexible space robot with both uncertain complicated dynamic model and unknown system parameters, and all the control signals can be measured by sensors directly or obtained by a backward difference algorithm. Numerical simulations on a two‐link flexible space robot are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control.     

Continuous robust fault‐tolerant control and vibration suppression for flexible spacecraft without angular velocity

The fault‐tolerant control and vibration suppression for flexible spacecraft without angular velocity measurement are investigated. External disturbances, actuator faults, unknown angular velocity, and flexible vibration are addressed simultaneously. Firstly, a model‐free adaptive supertwisting state observer and an angular velocity calculation algorithm in one step are developed by using attitude information only, which can estimate the angular velocity in finite time. Then, on the basis of angular velocity estimation, a novel continuous multivariable integral sliding mode (CMISM) is proposed for the first time, which is a combination of continuous nominal controller and a modified multivariable twisting controller to reject disturbances and faults. The CMISM can stabilize attitudes in finite time and attenuate chattering effectively. Furthermore, the input shaping technique is developed to achieve effective vibration suppression of the flexible appendages. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by numerical simulations.
