This paper presents some recently developed compensator structures that are useful for loop shaping. The complex Proportional- Integral-Lead compensator is a variation of the cascade of of PI compensator and a lead compensator in which complex conjugate zeros provide additional design flexibility compared with the standard structure. Similarly the phase adjustable resonant compensator employs complex conjugate zeros to adjust the phase of at the resonant frequency making design with resonant compensators easier.

Our proposed controller does not use a torque sensor but an electromyogram(EMG) sensor. Our designed controller is composed of EMG filter block, disturbance observer, direction discrimination function and fuzzy controller. We estimate whether the driver wants to propel forward or backward by the EMG signal placed at the triceps brachii muscle and the biceps brachii muscle. Then we provide power assist by combining the filtered myoelectric signal of the adductor pollicis muscle and the estimated human torque signal calculated by the disturbance observer. If the driver wants to stop or decelerate the wheelchair, our designed controller detects the changes of EMG signal and step down assist torque and realize vibration-free speed reduction. Experimental results show that the proposed power-assist method realizes quick and smooth power assist according to the driver's will.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134140886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique is based on a model-based control equipped with a local current compensating loop. The control model as a dynamical compensator is composed of a linear reduced-order model related to the velocity control loop and a delay element related to the backlash. This control model estimates a load speed converted to the motor shaft. The difference between the estimated load speed and the motor speed is dynamically calculated, and it is added to the velocity command to suppress the transient vibration generated at the load. To avoid the interference of the output torque of each motor, a local current compensating loop is integrated into the current loop. In this paper, the performance and the effectiveness of this control method are verified by simulations and experiments. They show satisfactory control results. The settling time of the residual vibration can be shortened down to about 1/2 of the uncompensated vibration level.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134172696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, both nonlinear frictions and modeling errors between the mathematical model and the actual plant system are handled as disturbances in mechanism. It is well-known that the disturbance variation deteriorates positioning performances. A viscous friction and a motor torque constant are taken up a problem as primary factors in disturbance variation, because those parameters are frequently varied for temperature change due to drive conditions, such as before/after warm up motion. In the proposed parameter tuning, the disturbance variation is handled as an additive perturbation for the nominal disturbance, and a least square method for the additive perturbation estimates disturbance model parameter errors. The proposed positioning control approach with an adaptive disturbance model-based feedforward compensation has been verified by experiments using a table drive system on machine stand.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131478918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The robot obtains the information of reaction force from the ground by sensors at each corner of the soles. From the sensor information, environment modes are extracted. By utilizing environment mode information, the robot can detect unevenness of the environment. In some cases, the robot cannot achieve stable walking motion because of the unstable contact between the sole and the ground. In order to walk stably on the uneven ground, the robot should contact with three corners of the sole since 3-point contact is stable. Therefore, in this research, we propose a method that is applicable to the robot on the uneven ground. 3-point contact is achieved by determining the environment modes.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134010393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In that context more elaborate models of the transmission behavior of robotic joints open an avenue for advanced control system design with the objective to improve the dynamic accuracy of conventional robots without altering their mechanical structure. This paper introduces a novel advanced transmission model to capture the nonlinear behavior of elastic robot joints at low velocities. The stiffness of the robot joints is identified based upon experimental observations of the dynamic torque-torsion relationship. The prediction of the effective stiffness torque relies on the quasi-static torque equilibrium and the joint torsion observed through internal and external joint encoders. The distributed hysteresis behavior of the torsion as a function of stiffness torque is described by means of the Preisach operator which parameters are identified in a model based dynamic simulation. Finally, the accuracy of the model is verified experimentally by a comparison of the dynamic response between the actual system and the identified model. The proposed model enables the design of an advanced predictive control of robot joints, and thereby contributes to an improvement in the accuracy of standard industrial robotic systems.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116551867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
