Variable Stiffness Actuators

This study aims to develop a novel decoupling method for the independent control of the position and stiffness of a variable stiffness joint actuator (VSJA), which has been proven to be able to vary its stiffness in a larger range than other variable stiffness actuators. Using static analysis and the Jacobian matrix, we obtained the model of the stiffness of the robot joint actuator and dynamics. Based on the hybrid dynamic model of position and stiffness, it is possible to compensate for the torque of the variable stiffness joint actuator (VSJA) to enhance position control. Finally, after describing the actuator prototype, the established compliance control method is verified using simulation and experimental analysis.

This paper focuses on the design, modeling and basic control of a variable stiffness actuator to be used in combination with a regenerative electromechanical drive system. Due to the use of a flexible beam, the actuator has the ability to store and return elastic potential energy. Also, an ultracapacitor is used in the electromechanical drive, which allows electrical energy storage and return. Moreover, elastic and electrostatic energies can be exchanged, resulting in a highly efficient and lightweight design which will be beneficial for robotic prostheses, exoskeletons and other orthotic devices. The paper presents a model and calculation method for large beam deflections and the integrated electromechanical actuator model. A semiactive virtual control strategy is used to decouple the mechanical dynamics from the charge dynamics and achieve position control of the actuator. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the control system and the energy exchange features.

 A quadrotor is a four-rotor aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, hovering, forward flight, and having great maneuverability. Its platform can be made in a small size make it convenient for indoor applications as well as for outdoor uses. In model there are four input forces that are essentially the thrust provided by each propeller attached to each motor with a fixed angle. The quadrotor is basically considered an unstable system because of the aerodynamic effects; consequently, a close-loop control system is required to achieve stability and autonomy. Such system must enable the quadrotor to reach the desired attitude as fast as possible without any steady state error. In this paper, an optimal controller is designed based on a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control method to obtain stability in flying the quadrotor. The dynamic model of this vehicle will be also explained by using Euler-Newton method. The mechanical design was performed along with the design of the controlling algorithm. Matlab Simulink was used to test and analyze the performance of the proposed control strategy. The experimental results on the quadrotor demonstrated the effectiveness of the methodology used.

Efficient, precise dynamic modeling and control of complex underwater towed systems has become a research focus in the field of multibody dynamics. In this paper, based on finite segment model of cable, by defining the new state vectors and deducing the new transfer equations of underwater towed systems, a new highly efficient method for dynamic modeling and simulation of underwater towed systems is presented and the pay-out/reel-in process of towed cable is studied. The computational efficiency and numerical stability of the proposed method are discussed. When using the method to study the dynamics of underwater towed systems, it avoids the global dynamic equations of system, and simplifies solving procedure. Irrespective of the degree of freedom of underwater towed system, the matrices involved in the proposed method are always very small, which greatly improve the computational efficiency and avoids the computing difficulties caused by too high matrix orders for complex underwater towed systems. Formulations of the method as well as numerical simulations are given to validate the proposed method.
