The focus of this work is stabilization of hydraulic actuators during the transition from free motion to constraint motion and regulating the intermediate impacts that could drive the system unstable. In our past research, we introduced Lyapunov-based nonlinear control schemes capable of fulfilling the above goal by resting the implement on the surface of the environment before starting the sustained-contact motion. The hydraulic actuator’s stick-slip friction effect was, however, either not included in the analysis or not compensated by the control action. In this paper, the application of our previously introduced friction compensating position control scheme is extended to impact regulation of a hydraulic actuator. Theoretical solution and stability analyses as well as actual experiments prove that such control scheme is also effective for asymptotic impact control (with no position steady-state error) of hydraulic actuators in the presence of actuator’s dry friction.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a novel hybrid pre-tension mechanism for continuum manipulators to prevent wire slack and improve continuum robot payload capacity, as well as to present a new method to control continuum manipulators’ shape. Design/methodology/approach This research explains the hardware design of a hybrid pre-tension mechanism device and proposes a mathematic formulation wire-tension based on robot design. Also, the wire-tension control method and payload estimation model would be discussed. Findings Wire-tension is directly related to the continuum manipulators’ rigidity and accuracy. However, in the case of robot motion, wires lose their tension and such an issue leads to the inaccuracy and twist deformation. Therefore, the proposed design assists in preventing any wire slack and derailing the problem of the wires. Originality/value The novelty of this research is proposed pre-tension mechanism device design and control schematics. Proposed pre-tension mechanism designed to maintain up to eight wires simultaneously.

[abstFig src='/00280004/14.jpg' width='300' text='Robot arm with micro-hand system' ] This work focuses on a robust nonlinear control design of a robot arm with micro-hand (RAMH) by using operator-based robust right coprime factorization (RRCF) approach. In the proposed control system, we can control the endpoint position of robot arm and obtain the desired force of micro-hand to perform a task, and a miniature pneumatic curling soft (MPCS) actuator which can generate bidirectional curling motions in different positive and negative pressures is used to develop the fingers of micro-hand. In detail, to control successively the precise position of robot arm and the desired force of three fingers according to the external environment or task involved, this paper proposes a double-loop feedback control architecture using operator-based RRCF approach. First, the inner-loop feedback control scheme is designed to control the angular position of the robot arm, the operator controllers and the tracking controller are designed, and the robust stability and tracking conditions are derived. Second, the complex stable inner-loop and micro-hand with three fingers are viewed as two right factorizations separately, a robust control scheme using operator-based RRCF approach is presented to control the fingers forces, and the robust tracking conditions are also discussed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control system is verified by experimental and simulation results.
