Stiffness-fault-tolerant control strategy for elastic actuators with interaction impedance adaptation
Elastic actuators have the potential to enable safe interaction and energy efficient mobility, making them suitable for physical human–robot interaction. However, their increased complexity makes technical faults and their prevention a relevant research topic, particularly considering faults in elastic and kinematic elements. In this article we investigate a stiffness-fault-tolerant control strategy for elastic actuators, based on impedance control, which compensates for internal faults and adapts to a desired interaction impedance behavior. We analyze the control strategy regarding its stability, and adapt it to the dynamic characteristics of two systems: a mechanically adjustable compliance actuator (MACCEPA) and a series–parallel elastic actuator (+SPEA), highlighting the strategy’s general applicability to multiple actuator designs, considering nonlinear and redundant characteristics. Experimental validation with these systems shows that the control strategy is capable of accurately tracking reference output trajectories and adapting interaction characteristics, under fault and disturbance conditions, showcasing the versatile applicability of the strategy while achieving fault-tolerance.
期刊介绍:
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.
