A force control of network of actuators

Abstract

The paper describes a control strategy of network of actuators. First, some examples of the network systems are shown. Secondly, to control such systems, the force transmission mechanism is realized. In the proposed network motion system, the total system consists of many force transmission lines and the superposition of the force signal propagated by each line acts on the end point. In this sense, the proposed motion control method is called the delay superposition method.<>
