Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Control of nonlinear mechanisms working in an uncertain environment is a challenging issue to the mechanical research, development and manufacturing communities. There are three difficulties in controller design of these systems: complexity, nonlinearity and uncertainty. This project aims to explore the last two of these problems and with the first one in mind.A mathematical model of the seven-bar mechanism system will be developed, which will form the basis for combined adaptive and robust control of trajectory tracking. The advantage of combined adaptive and robust control applied to this nonlinear system is to increase the robustness of system uncertainty, previously known to be a challenging task. An experimental study will implement the control methods in the laboratory and demonstrate this advantage.
