Abstract

This paper presents a Tornambe controller (TC) for a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel mechanism of pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) based on tracking differentiators (TDs). A dynamic nonlinear system is established for the 2-DOF parallel mechanism of PMAs. TC is designed for improving control performance of the dynamic nonlinear system. The TDs are utilized to obtain high order derivatives of tracking errors, which are required by TC. Moreover, stability analysis of the dynamic nonlinear system is shown by a Lyapunov approach. Finally, experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method in this paper.
