Singular-Perturbation-Based Nonlinear Hybrid Control of Redundant Parallel Robot

摘要

High-speed robots are being applied more and more widely in the scenarios of aviation manufacturing, electronic packaging, and three-dimensional printing, etc. To achieve high speed, the robots are typically designed to be lightweight, hence suffer from undesired vibration, so that the dynamic performance would deteriorate. In light of this, this paper considers the dynamic modeling and active control of an emerging redundant parallel robot. First, the recursively dynamic model is modularly established by means of Lagrangian multipliers method. For completeness, the model of permanent magnet synchronous motor is further integrated with the model of mechanical system to formulate the electromechanically coupled dynamic model (ECDM). To facilitate dynamic control, the ECDM is cleverly projected into the null space of constraint Jacobian matrix eliminating the need to compute Lagrangian multipliers explicitly. Based on singular perturbation approach and Tikhonov theorem, the ECDM is decomposed into two subsystems in different timescales. On this basis, a nonlinear hybrid control scheme is proposed for both trajectory tracking and vibration suppression. Numerical simulations suggest that the nonlinear hybrid control exhibits overwhelming performance than the conventional joint-based proportional and differential feedback control.
