Abstract
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is commonly used to operate mechanical systems. In PID control, however, there are limits to the accuracy of the resulting performance because of the influence of gravity, friction, and interaction of joints caused by modeling errors. Digital acceleration control is robust in relation to modeling errors, and is superior to PID control. However the need for knowledge of the position, velocity, and acceleration is a constraint on the development of digital acceleration control. To overcome this limitation, this report introduces a system that estimates smoothed and differential values by a sliding mode, ESDS (Estimated Smoothed Differential Sliding). Using ESDS enables digital acceleration control without increasing the number of sensors over that used in PID control. This paper focus on the influence of gravity because the digital acceleration control can cancel the influence of them in principle. This characteristic enables mechanical systems to control appropriately under attitude variations. This paper shows the results of the proposed control method using 1-link and 2-link manipulators.
