This work presents the robust control of a nonlinear plant with uncertain parameters, in this case a 2-DOF parallel mechanism. First, the robot dynamic and kinematic models were computed using a new methodology based on the serial subsystems models that compose the parallel topology, which are later pieced together through mechanical constraints to form the complete parallel robot model. Then, a robust control architecture combining H ∞ design and feedback linearization was designed in order to guarantee robust performance and stability even in the presence of uncertain parameters in the model. To validate both mechanism's modeling and control, simulation results were provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
