Modeling, identification and control of an antagonistically actuated joint for telerobotic systems
(2015)
Within this paper a modeling, identification and control technique for an antagonistically actuated joint consisting of two pneumatically actuated muscles is presented. The antagonistically actuated joint acts as a test bench for control architectures which are going to be used to control an exoskeleton within a telerobotic system. A static and dynamic model of the muscle and the joint is derived and the parameters of the models are identified using a least-squares algorithm. The control architecture, consisting of a inner pressure and an outer position controller is presented. The pressure controller is evaluated using switching valves compared against proportional valves.
This paper discusses modeling and nonlinear control of a joint antagonistically actuated by two pneumatic, artificial muscles. A single model of the whole system is obtained by a combined physical and phenomenological modeling approach. The combined model for the joint, the muscles and the proportional valves results in a nonlinear, affine-in-control system description. The model is used to derive control laws for an input/output linearization approach to linearize the plant. Modeling and parametrization errors are covered via an outer control loop consisting of a state-feedback which is extended by an additional feedback of error integral. Extensive experimental results show the quality of the model and the performance of the respective control laws.
