| description | The variable stiffness joint (VSJ) has the characteristics of independent and controllable position and stiffness. The variable stiffness characteristics and inherent flexibility make the VSJ suitable to be used as the actuation joint of the physical human-robot interaction application robot, so as to improve the task adaptability of the robot and physical human-robot interaction safety. The VSJ based on equivalent lever mechanism has the advantages of low energy consumption in stiffness adjustment, so there are many researches on this type of VSJ. The tracking control of output link angular position and joint output stiffness are two basic control targets of the VSJ. For the system dynamic model of the VSJ based on equivalent lever mechanism, considering the unknown parametric perturbations, the unknown friction torques acting on the drive units, the unknown external disturbance acting on the output link and the control input saturation constraints, a robust tracking controller based on feedback linearization, disturbance observer with anti-windup measures, sliding mode control and estimation error compensator is designed to improve the tracking control accuracy of the position and stiffness of the VSJ. The simultaneous tracking control of position and stiffness of the VSJ can be achieved by the designed controller, and the simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller. Moreover, the simulation results show that the proposed estimation error compensator for the disturbance observer with fixed preset observation gain can effectively reduce the system output tracking error and improve the anti-disturbance characteristics of the controller. |
