Adaptive internal model control for mid-ranging of closed-loop systems with internal saturation

This paper considers the problem of performing mid-ranging control of two closed-loop controlled systems that have internal saturations. The problem originates from previous work in machining with industrial robots, where an external compensation mechanism is used to compensate for position errors. Because of the limited workspace and the considerably higher bandwidth of the compensator, a mid-ranging control approach is proposed. An adaptive, modelbased solution is presented, which is verified through simulations and experiments, where a close correspondence of the obtained results is achieved. Comparing the IAE of experiments using the proposed controller to previously established methods, a performance increase of up to 56 % is obtained.
