In order to achieve large tolerance capture and high stiffness connection for space payload operations, a Chinese large-scale space end-effector (EER) was developed. Friction is a kind of strong nonlinear factor that severely degrades performance of EER. To predict the friction amplitude and compensate the dynamic error, the friction model based Generalized Maxwell-Slip model (GMS) is built. In order to improve the parameters identification accuracy of friction model, and overcome the error effects of the low speed velocity measurement, the full-order speed observer is designed as feedback speed information. Experiments platform has been built and some dragging experiments on the EER have been done. Results of the experiments show that the precision of the position tracking can reach ±0.02mm by GMS compensation, increased more than 30% compared with Stribeck friction model.
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.
