Adaptive Control for Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite Actuator Based on Continuous-Time Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the model reference adaptive control problem for ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators. Firstly, a mathematical model of the IPMC actuator is constructed as a stable second order dynamical system preceded by a hysteresis representation. Then, an adaptive controller is synthesized for the IPMC actuator. The proposed control law ensures the global stability of the controlled IPMC system, and the position error of IPMC actuator can be controlled by choosing the design parameters. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

متن کاملPrecision force and position control of ionic polymer–metal composite
In this paper, model-based precision force and position control of an ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) is presented. A 23.8 mm×3.4 mm×0.16 mm IPMC strip was used as an actuator in a cantilever configuration. Open-loop force and position responses of an IPMC are not repeatable, and hence closed-loop precision control is of critical importance to ensure proper functioning, repeatability and r...
