Adaptive Control Strategy of Climbing Robot for Inspection Applications in Construction Industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the implementation of an adaptive control strategy of the climbing robot ROMA2. Its main area of application is an autonomous inspection of complex 3D infrastructure in construction industry, like bridges, skeletons of the buildings, offshore platforms, etc. Due to the fact that gravity factors have a high influence on the quality and security of the motion, the adaptive control strategy has been selected. This strategy is based on the gain scheduling architecture for the most important axis, changing on-the-fly the parameters of the controllers. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Adaptive Voltage-based Control of Direct-drive Robots Driven by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...
