Abstract Serving Stewart plat as wheel-legged construction, the most outstanding superiority of proposed wheel-legged hybrid robot (WLHR) is active vibration isolation during rolling on rugged terrain. This paper presents a force-driven control approach based on model predictive control (MPC) to design optimal control input for Stewart parallel wheel-leg that locomotes using swing foot trajectory. Adding adaptive impedance control in outermost loop, controlling framework prevents robot body horizontal and from vibration over rolling motion. Through dynamic model of Stewart mechanism, controller first creates predictive model by combining Newton-Euler equation, Newton-Raphson iteration of forward kinematic solving for current configuration, inverse kinematic calculation of Stewart obtaining desired joint position, and Gain/Integration module determining reference torque. With minimizing control deviation and input as objective function, a novel control optimization formulation generates optimum input for each control duration. These actuating force naturally enables each strut stretching and retracting used to realize six degree-of-freedom (6DOF) motion for Stewart wheel-leg. We exploit the variable-adapting method to reasonably adjust environmental impedance parameters by current position, velocity, force feedback of wheel-leg. This allow us to adequately acknowledge the desired support force tracking, isolating robot from isolation that is generated from unknown terrain. We demonstrate the validation of our control methodology on physical prototype by tracking a Bezier curve and active vibration isolation while the robot is rolling on decelerate strip. Respectively given PI controller and a sort of traditional impedance controller as comparison, a better performance of proposed algorithm was operated and evaluated through displacement and force sensors internally-installed in each cylinder, as well as IMU mounted on robot body.

Active vibration isolation from an arbitrarily, structurally complex receiver is considered with respect to the impacts of structure flexibility on the open- and closed-loop system characteristics. Specifically, the generally weak influence of flexibility on the open-loop transfer function in the case of total force feedback, in contrast to acceleration feedback, is investigated. The open-loop system characteristics are analyzed based on open-loop transfer function expressions obtained using modal expansion and on modal model order reduction techniques. To closely demonstrate and illustrate the impacts of flexibility on the closed-loop system performance and stability, a problem of automotive engine vibration isolation from a flexible subframe is presented where the neglected dynamics are represented as an output multiplicative model perturbation. A physical explanation as to why the contribution of flexibility to the open-loop transfer function could be neglected in the case of total force feedback in contrast to acceleration feedback is given. Factors for an individual eigenmode to not significantly contribute to the total force output are presented where the deviation of the mode direction relative to the actuator force direction is pointed out as a key one in addition to modal mass and damping coefficient. In this context, the inherent differences between model order reduction by modal and by balanced truncation are being stressed. For the specific automotive vibration isolation application considered, the degradation of robust performance and stability is shown to be insignificant when obtaining a low-order controller by using total force feedback and neglecting flexibility in the design phase.

Tilt vibrations inevitably have negative effects on some precise engineering even after applying horizontal and vertical vibration isolations. It is difficult to adopt a traditional passive vibration isolation (PVI) scheme to realize tilt vibration isolation. In this paper, we present and develop a tilt active vibration isolation (AVI) device using a vertical pendulum (VP) tiltmeter and a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). The potential resolution of the VP is dependent on the mechanical thermal noise in the frequency bandwidth of about 0.0265 nrad, which need not be considered because it is far below the ground tilt of the laboratory. The tilt sensitivity of the device in an open-loop mode, investigated experimentally using a voltage controller, is found to be (1.63±0.11)×105 V/rad. To compensate for the hysteresis nonlinearity of the PZT, we experimentally established the multi-loop mathematical model of hysteresis, and designed a parallel controller consisting of both a hysteresis inverse model predictor and a digital proportional–integral–differential (PID) adjuster. Finally, the response of the device working in close-loop mode to the tilt vibration was tested experimentally, and the tilt AVI device showed a good vibration isolation performance, which can remarkably reduce the tilt vibration, for example, from 6.0131 μrad to below 0.0103 μrad.
