Integrated Fixed Time Sliding Mode Control for Motion and Vibration of Space Robot with Fully Flexible Base–Link–Joint

Abstract

The dynamic modeling, motion control and flexible vibration active suppression of space robot under the influence of flexible base, flexible link and flexible joint are explored, and motion and vibration integrated fixed-time sliding mode control of fully flexible system is designed. The flexibility of the base and joints are equivalent to the vibration effect of linear springs and torsion springs. The flexible links are regarded as Euler–Bernoulli simply supported beams, which are analyzed by the hypothetical mode method, and the dynamic model of the fully flexible space robot is established by using the Lagrange equation. Then, the singular perturbation theory is used to decompose the model into slow subsystem including rigid motion and the link flexible vibrations, and fast subsystems including the base and the joint flexible vibrations. A fixed time sliding mode control based on hybrid trajectory is designed for the slow subsystem to ensure that the base and joints track the desired trajectory in a limited time while achieving vibration suppression on the flexible links. For the fast subsystem, linear quadratic optimal control is used to suppress the flexible vibration of the base and joints. The simulation results show that the controller proposed in the paper can make the system state converge within a fixed time, is robust to model uncertainty and external interference, and can effectively suppress the flexible vibration of the base, links, and joints.

Command smoothing-proxy sliding mode control of hydraulic servo system considering structural flexibility

“…The modified trajectory of the hydraulic cylinder is given as follows based on equations ( 7) and (10).…”

“…For the fast dynamics, adaptive dynamic programing is used to deal with the uncertainty. In addition, on the basis of the modeling methods listed above, there are some other methods for the control of flexible structures, such as linear quadratic optimal control, 10 PID control, 11 active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). 12 The above methods basically include two parts: modeling and control.…”

A Fuzzy Logic Reinforcement Learning Control with Spring-Damper Device for Space Robot Capturing Satellite

“…At present, it is feasible to use a space robot to complete the capture task. This has therefore become one of the research hot spots of space exploration [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Generally, the process of capture operation can be divided into four stages: (1) the space robot observes the target satellite; (2) a pre-operation stage before capture operation, such as deceleration and detumbling control of the target satellite;…”
