Control of this emerging new class of robots has proved difficult due to the inherent complexity of their dynamics. Using a recently established full dynamic model, the authors introduce a new nonlinear model-based control strategy for continuum robots. The approach is applicable to continuum robots which can extend/contract as well as bend throughout their structure. Results are illustrated using the mathematical model of a three-section, six-degree of freedom planar continuum robot.展开更多

A chatter free sliding mode control strategy for a chaotic coal mine power grid was developed. The stability of the control strategy was proven by Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed sliding mode control strategy eliminated the chattering phenomenon by replacing the sign function with a saturation function, and by replacing the constant coefficients in the reaching law with adaptive ones. An immune genetic algorithm was used to optimize the parameters in the improved reaching law. The cut-in time of the controllers was optimized to reduce the peak energy of their output.

文摘An augmented proportional-integral sliding surface was designed for a sliding mode controller. A chatter free sliding mode control strategy for a chaotic coal mine power grid was developed.

An immune genetic algorithm was used to optimize the parameters in the improved reaching law. The cut-in time of the controllers was optimized to reduce the peak energy of their output.
