Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Due to the energy storage and release capability introduced by stiffness adjustment, a variable stiffness actuator is essential to achieve human-like energy efficiency for robots. However, it is not trivial to control the strongly coupled and nonlinear system, especially with highly dynamic stiffness variation. In this work, decoupled and robust command filtered backstepping tracking controllers for position and stiffness are proposed. Furthermore, a disturbance observer is introduced to estimate the lumped disturbances caused by directly decoupled dynamics and unmodeling errors. Since the input control torques can be easily saturated due to limited deformation of elastic elements, anti-windup compensation is introduced into the tracking control laws to reduce its negative influence. Thus, by combining the command filtered backstepping controller, disturbance observers, and anti-windup compensation, the stability proof of the proposed composite controller is provided. The tracking control performance is validated through simulations of multi-DoF variable stiffness actuated robots.
