Motor Imagery and Error Related Potential Induced Position Control of a Robotic Arm

The paper introduces an electroencephalography(EEG) driven online position control scheme for a robot arm by utilizing motor imagery to activate and error related potential(ErrP) to stop the movement of the individual links, following a fixed(pre-defined) order of link selection. The right(left)hand motor imagery is used to turn a link clockwise(counterclockwise) and foot imagery is used to move a link forward. The occurrence of ErrP here indicates that the link under motion crosses the visually fixed target position, which usually is a plane/line/point depending on the desired transition of the link across 3D planes/around 2D lines/along 2D lines respectively. The imagined task about individual link's movement is decoded by a classifier into three possible class labels: clockwise, counterclockwise and no movement in case of rotational movements and forward, backward and no movement in case of translational movements. One additional classifier is required to detect the occurrence of the ErrP signal, elicited due to visually inspired positional link error with reference to a geometrically selected target position. Wavelet coefficients and adaptive autoregressive parameters are extracted as features for motor imagery and ErrP signals respectively. Support vector machine classifiers are used to decode motor imagination and ErrP with high classification accuracy above 80%. The average time taken by the proposed scheme to decode and execute control intentions for the complete movement of three links of a robot is approximately33 seconds. The steady-state error and peak overshoot of the proposed controller are experimentally obtained as 1.1% and4.6% respectively.

Position Sensorless Control for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using Sliding Mode Observer

An approach of position sensorless control for permanent magnet synchronous motor ( PMSM) is put forward based on a sliding mode observer. The mathematical model of PMSM in a stationary αβ reference frame is adopted. and the system is controlled by the digital signal proces- sor ( DSP) TMS320LF2407 according to the control theory of sliding mode observer. In order to achieve closed loop operation of the motor, the stator magnetic field should be vertical with the rotor magnetic field and be synchronous with rotor rotating, so the position and speed of PMSM is esti- mated in real time and the estimated position is modified continuously. The simulation results indi- cate that the proposed observer has high precision in estimation of PMSM position and speed, and is more robust to the parametric variation and load torque disturbance.

VERTICAL NONCONTACT POSITIONING H_∞ ROBUST CONTROL FOR MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED SURFACE MOTOR

To fulfill the stringent requirement, super-precision positioning and ultra cleanness, a surface motor with the integrated chip fabrication equipment is constructed by using permanent magnets and electromagnet coils as primary actuating components. It consists of stator and mover, and the mover is isolated from the stator by the magnetic beating. The magnetic bearing in the stator is composed of eight air core electromagnet coils, the propulsion in the stator is composed of iron core and electromagnetic coils, and the mover is composed of NdFeB permanent magnets and levitated stage. Based on Lorentz law, some parameters, including permanent magnets dimensions, currents and levitation height, which may affect the stability, are analyzed and optimized. To improve the positioning accuracy in the vertical direction of the magnetic levitation surface motor, a robust controller is proposed using H∞ mixed sensitivity control theory. The simulation results show that by choosing appropriate weight functions, the controller can ensure the robustness of the closed loop system under the presence of uncertainties, and the H∞ robust controller is excellent for reducing steady error and increasing response speed.

Design and implementation of a position sensorless control method for brushless DC motors

Because brushless direct current(BLDC) motors have the advantages of a compact size, high power density, high efficiency, and long operating life time, they are widely used in many industrial products and electric traction systems. It is known that the BLDC motors have no brushes for commutation. They are commutated with electronically commutation. So, the rotor position information of the BLDC motors must be known to understand which winding will be energized according to the energizing sequence. In most of the existing BLDC motor drivers, rotor position information is detected by Hall effect sensors. This kind of mechanical position sensors will bring additional connections and costs, reliability decrease and noise increase. In order to improve the control performance and extend the range of speed regulation for BLDC motors, a position sensorless control method is proposed in this paper. In the proposed control method, rotor position information of the BLDC motors is detected from the back electromagnetic forces(back-EMFs) which are estimated by an unknown-input observer with line to line currents and line to line voltages. For the purpose of verifying the effectiveness of the proposed control method, a model is built and simulated on the Matlab/Simulink platform. The simulation results show that the speed regulation performance of BLDC motors is improved compared with using Hall effect sensors. At the same time, the reliability of the BLDC motors is improved and the costs of them are reduced because the position sensor is eliminated.
