Abstract

This paper presents a frequency-response test performed on an antagonistic actuation system consisting of two Mckibben pneumatic artificial muscles and a pneumatic circuit with pressure valves. Varying switching frequency to pressure valves from 0.1 Hz to 5 Hz, parameters of a linear model were estimated optimally to predict dynamic characteristics of the antagonistic actuation. A model-base control scheme with estimated parameters was built for the precise trajectory tracking of the antagonistic structure and realized on a reconfigurable embedded control system, CompactRIO. Experimental results showed that the proposed model-based control scheme gave good performance in trajectory tracking comparing with a PD control scheme when square wave and sinusoidal wave were given as references to follow.

본 연구에서는 공압형 인공근육으로 이루어진 회전관절의 동적 특성을 파악하기 위해서 두 개의 공압형 인공근육으로 이루어진 상극구동 시스템의 주파수 응답특성실험을 수행하였다. 인공근육의 작동범위에서 수행한 주파수 응답결과에 최적으로 근사할 수 있는 선형모델을 추정하고 이를 이용하여 회전관절의 움직임을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 모델에 기초한 제어법칙을 제시하였다. 사각파, 정현파 기준궤적에 대한 회전관절의 추종실험을 수행한 결과 선형 추정모델에 의한 보상효과와 피드벡 이득에 의한 추종오차 제거효과를 통해서 우수한 궤적 추정성능을 보였다.
