PD control with gravity compensation for hydraulic 6-DOF parallel manipulator☆

Abstract A novel model-based controller for 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) hydraulic driven parallel manipulator considering the nonlinear characteristic of hydraulic systems-proportional plus derivative with dynamic gravity compensation controller is presented, in order to improve control performance and eliminate steady state errors. In this paper, 6-DOF parallel manipulator is described as multi-rigid-body systems, the dynamic models including mechanical system and hydraulic driven system are built using Kane method and hydromechanics methodology, the numerical forward kinematics and inverse kinematics is solved with Newton–Raphson method and close-form solutions. The model-based controller is developed with feedback of actuator length, desired trajectories and system states acquired by forward kinematics solution as the input and servovalve current as its output. The hydraulic system is decoupled by local velocity compensation in inner control loop prerequisite for the controller. The performance revolving stability, accuracy and robustness of the proposed control scheme for 6-DOF parallel manipulator is analyzed in theory and experiment. The theoretical analysis and experimental results indicate the controller can improve the control performance and eliminate the steady state errors of 6-DOF hydraulic driven parallel manipulator.
