In this paper, an adaptive robust control (ARC) scheme based friction compensation strategy is presented for a class of mechanical systems in the presence of dynamic friction effects. In contrast to existing deterministic robust control (DRC) and adaptive control (AC) schemes, the proposed ARC scheme utilizes both the structural information of the dynamic friction model and the available prior ...

In this paper, a new approach employing both adaptive and robust methodologies is proposed for stick—slip friction compensation for tracking control of a one degree-of-freedom DC-motor system. It is well known that the major components of friction are Coulomb force, viscous force, exponential force (used to model the downward bend of friction at low velocity) and position-dependent force. Visco...

In this Faults or process failures may drastically change system behaviour leading to performance degradation and instability. The reliability and fault-tolerance of a control system can be achieved through the design of either an active or passive Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) scheme. This paper proposes a new approach to fault compensation for FTC using fault estimation by which the faults act...

Analysis and estimation of friction and compensation for its effects in the control of an electrohydraulic manipulator is addressed in this paper. The specific hydraulic manipulator is an integral part of an automated fish processing machine which has been developed in our laboratory. The analysis reveals that considerable static and dynamic friction exists in the system. An available nonlinear...

This work concerns the modelling and experimental verification of the highly nonlinear friction behavior in positioning on the nanometer scale. The main goal of this work is to adjust and identify a simple dynamic friction model which allows a model-based estimation of the friction force in combination with the system inertia against displacement. Experiments in the pre-sliding and sliding fric...

This article describes the detailed friction modeling of the Genera1 Electric GP132 industrial robot. Friction is an area whose importance is often discounted in the development of control systems because it is thought to be insignificant or unmodelable. This work demonstrates that friction does have a predictable structure, and that significant performance improvement can be realized through i...

Friction in mechanical systems can show a very complex behaviour. In addition to its non-linear dependence on the velocity, friction is also function of the position. In the vicinity of motion reversal points, i.e. in the prerolling/pre-sliding regime, the position dependence dominates and appears in the form of a rate-independent hysteresis with nonlocal memory. One of the ways of treating thi...

In this paper, a robust adaptive tracking control scheme is proposed for compensation of the stick-slip friction in a mechanical servo system. The control scheme has a sliding control input to compensate friction forces. The gain of the sliding control input is adjusted adaptively to estimate the linear bound of the stick-slip friction. By introducing the sliding control input, the global stabi...

We present a new compensation technique for a friction model, which captures problematic friction effects such as Stribeck effects, hysteresis, stick-slip limit cycling, pre-sliding displacement and rising static friction. The proposed control utilizes a PD control structure and an adaptive estimate of the friction force. Specifically, a radial basis function (RBF) is used to compensate the eff...

This paper addresses the motion control in joint space of robot manipulators with friction described by the generalized LuGre friction model. The paper extends the nonadaptive version of the Slotine and Li’s control system originally designed for friction-free manipulators to the case where a friction observer is incorporated to deal with friction. This observer corresponds to an adaptation of ...
