Precision Position Tracking of Mr-compatible Pneumatic Piston-cylinder Using Sliding Mode Control

چکیده
This paper presents the nonlinear dynamics and sliding mode control design for a 1-DOF needle insertion robot. The robot actuator is an MR-compatible pneumatic piston-cylinder. A brief review of the dynamics for this type of actuator is provided. The reaction force of tissue on the needle remains an unknown for which our controller compensates. A sliding mode control law is formulated that relies solely on position and pressure measurements (no force sensor). Experimental implementation of the actuator and controller is described. The mean and maximum steady-state position errors for step reference positions were 0.018 mm and 0.028 mm, respectively.

Sliding Mode Control of an MRI-Compatible Pneumatically Actuated Robot
Magnetically sensitive environments such as MRI scanners preclude the use of traditional electromagnetic actuators. Pneumatic piston-cylinders are well-suited actuators for MRIguided robots, but the nonlinear dynamics of the working fluid creates a challenging controls problem. Precision control of the actuators is needed for the robot to achieve high targeting accuracy. This paper reports a fi...
متن کاملA Multi-objective Sliding Mode Approach for the Energy Saving Control of Pneumatic Servo Systems
This paper proposes a variation on a sliding mode control approach that provides significant energy savings for the control of pneumatic servo systems. The control methodology is formulated by first decoupling the standard four-way spool valve used for pneumatic servo control into two three-way valves, then using the resulting two control degrees of freedom to simultaneously satisfy both the sl...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of a PWM-Sliding Mode Position Controller Used in Pneumatic Actuation
This paper considers the theoretical and experimental approaches to performance improvement of pneumatic linear actuators. Two On/Off, 3/2 pneumatic valves were used to control the position of a pneumatic piston rod through the closed-loop application of a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)-sliding mode algorithm. System parameters have been experimentally selected in order to reduce the tracking err...

متن کاملRobust Sliding Mode Controller for Trajectory Tracking and Attitude Control of a Nonholonomic Spherical Mobile Robot
Based on dynamic modeling, robust trajectory tracking control of attitude and position of a spherical mobile robot is proposed. In this paper, the spherical robot is composed of a spherical shell and three independent rotors which act as the inner driver mechanism. Owing to rolling without slipping assumption, the robot is subjected to two nonholonomic constraints. The state space representatio...
