Based on geometric constraints and dynamics, a system model is developed through which some influences on dynamic response and open-loop gain are analyzed including the supply pressure, the initial pressure and the volume of pneumatic muscle. A sliding-mode controller with a nonlinear switching function is applied to control posture, which adopts the combination of a main method that separates control of each muscle and an auxiliary method that postures error evaluation of multiple muscles, especially adopting the segmented and intelligent adjustments of sliding-mode parameters to fit different expected postures and initial states. Experimental results show that this control strategy not only amounts to the steady-state error of 0. 1° without overshoot, but also achieves good trajectory tracking.展开更多

Due to the special physical properties of the parallel manipulator studied, the regression model for parametric identification is characterized by multieollinearity, which will result in unreliable and inaccurate parameter estimations with large eovarianee if the conventional parameter estimation algorithm based on single error minimizing criterion is used. To improve the quality of parameter estimation and achieve high precise posture trajectory tracking control of the parallel manipulator, a new parameter estimation algorithm based on composite error minimizing criterion is developed in need of theoretical contractive forces of pneumatic muscles. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm integrated with adaptive robust control could provide reliable parametric identification and greatly enhance the control accuracy in the trajectory tracking control of the parallel manipulator, and that the variation of known theoretical contractive forces of pneumatic muscles has slight influence on the control performance.展开更多
