Positional control of pneumatic manipulators for construction tasks

چکیده
This paper describes solutions that can be applied to pneumatic manipulator problems in positioning, both for angle trajectories and for long linear trajectories, used in construction tasks. Optimal positioning of a pneumatic manipulator along angle trajectories with minimum control energy consumption is given. The implementation of the control system is presented. Control algorithms for a long linear trajectory manipulator based on two-phase and three-phase motion modes of the endeffector are investigated. Conventional and fuzzy logic controls of a pneumatic manipulator were applied and experimental testing was carried out. The obtained results allow widening the application range of pneumatic manipulators in construction, particularly in gantry type machines. D 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulators in repetitive tasks
Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...

Development of automation and robotization in manufacturing process stimulates interest in pneumatic servo-systems whose advantages include low manufacturing costs, high dynamics and reliability (Situm et al., 2004). Unsatisfactory positioning accuracy of multiaxis pneumatic servosytems considerably reduces their application in manipulating machines, manipulators and robots. Rapid advance in pa...
متن کاملControl of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...

متن کاملAn Adaptive-Robust Control Approach for Trajectory Tracking of two 5 DOF Cooperating Robot Manipulators Moving a Rigid Payload
In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...
