It is usually made up of a rubber tube and crossweave sheath material. Pneumatic muscles have the advantages of cleanness, cheapness, light-weight,

6、 easy maintenance, and the higher power/weight and power/volume ratios when compared with pneumatic cylinders (Ahn, Thanh, & Yang, 2004). The basic working principle of a pneumatic muscle is as follows: when the rubber tube is inflated, the cross-weave sheath experiences lateral expansion, resulting

7、 in axial contractive force and the movement of the end point position of the pneumatic muscle. Thus, the position or force control of a pneumatic muscle along its axial direction can be realized by regulating the inner pressure of its rubber tube. The parallel manipulator driven by pneumatic muscle

8、s (PMDPM) studied in this paper is a new application of pneumatic muscles.It consists of three pneumatic muscles connecting the moving arm of the parallel manipulator to its base platform as shown in Fig. 1. By controlling the lengths of three pneumatic muscles,three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) rotatio

9、n motion of the parallel manipulator can be realized. Such a parallel manipulator combines the advantages of compact structure of parallel mechanisms with the adjustable stiffness and high power/volume ratio of pneumatic muscles, which will have promising wide applications in robotics,industrial aut

10、omation, and bionic devices.Many researchers have investigated the precise position control of pneumatic muscles during the past several years.Most of them dealt with the control of single or antagonistic pneumatic muscles. Specifically, Bowler, Caldwell, and Medrano-Cerda (1996), employed an adapti

Cai and Yamaura (1996)presented a sliding mode controller for a manipulator driven by artificial muscle actuators. Kimura, Hara, Fujita, and Kagawa(1997), applied the

Kimoto and Ito (2003)added nonlinear robust compensations to a linear controller in order to stabilize the system globally and achieve robustness to u

Carbonell, Jiang, and Repperger (2001),Chan, Lilly, Repperger, and Berlin (2003), Repperger, Johnson, andPhillips (1998) and Repperger, Phillips, and Krier (1999), proposed several methods such as fuzzy backstepping, gain-scheduling,variable structure and fuzzy PD+I for a SI

16、ted robotic arm driven by four pneumatic muscles.As reviewed above, some of the researchers designed robust controllers without considering the pressure dynamics, while the effect of pressure dynamics is essential for the precise control of pneumatic muscles (Carbonell et al., 2001; Chan et al., 200

17、3; Lilly, 2003; Lilly & Quesada, 2004; Lilly & Yang, 2005; Repperger et al., 1998,1999). Some of the researchers developed controllers with the assumption that the system model is accurate, or that model uncertainties satisfy matching condition only, while those assumptions are hard to be satisfied

18、in practice (Hildebrandt et al., 2002, 2005; Kimura et al., 1997). For the PMDPM shown in Fig. 1, it not only has all the control difficulties associated with the pneumatic muscles, but also the added difficulties of the coupled multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) complex dynamics of the parallel manipu

19、lator and the large extent of unmatched model uncertainties of the combined overall system. In other words,there exist rather severe parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities, which are caused not only by the time-varying friction forces and static force modeling errors of pneumatic musc

20、les but also by the inherent complex nonlinearities and unknown disturbances of the parallel manipulator. Therefore, it is very difficult to control precisely the posture of the PMDPM.The recently proposed adaptive robust control (ARC) has been shown to be a very effective control strategy for syste

21、ms with both parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities (Xu & Yao,2001; Yao, 2003; Yao, Bu, Reedy, & Chiu, 2000; Yao & Tomizuka,2001). This approach effectively integrates adaptive control with robust control through utilizing on-line parameter adaptation to reduce the extent of parametri

22、c uncertainties and employing certain robust control laws to attenuate the effects of various uncertainties. In ARC, a projection-type parameter estimation algorithm is used to solve the design conflict between adaptive control and robust control. Thus, high final tracking accuracy is achieved while

23、 guaranteeing excellent transient performance.In this paper, the posture control of a PMDPM shown in Fig. 1 is considered in which each pneumatic muscle is controlled by two fast switching valves. The adaptive robust control strategy is applied to reduce the lumped uncertain nonlinearities and param

24、etric uncertainties while using certain robust feedback to attenuate the effects of uncompensated model uncertainties.In addition, pressure dynamics are explicitly considered in the proposed controller. Consequently, good tracking performance is achieved in practice as demonstrated by simulation and

25、 experimental results.The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 gives the dynamic models of the PMDPM controlled by fast switching valves. Section3 presents the proposed adaptive robust controller, along with proofs of the stability and asymptotic output tracking of the resulting closed-loop syst

26、em. Section 4 shows the advantages of the proposed adaptive robust controller over the traditional deterministic robust controller via simulation results. Section 5 details the obtained experimental results to verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive robust posture controller and Section 6

27、draws the conclusions.2. Dynamic modelsThe PMDPM shown in Fig. 1 consists of a moving platform,a base platform, a central pole, and three pneumatic muscles.Pneumatic muscles are linked with the moving platform and the base platform by spherical joints Bi and Ai (i = 1, 2, 3) respectively.The joints

28、are evenly distributed along a circle on the moving platform and the base platform respectively. The central pole is rigidly fixed with the base platform and is connected with the moving platform by a ball joint. Consider two frames, the first one,reference frame Oxyz fixed to the base platform, and

29、 the second one, moving frame O1x1y1z1 attached to the moving platform at the center (Tao, Zhu,&Cao, 2005). The posture of thePMDPMis defined through the standard RollPitchYaw (RPY) angles: first rotate the moving frame around the fixed x-axis by the yaw angle _x, then rotate the moving frame around

30、 the fixed y-axis by the pitch angle_y, and finally rotate the moving frame around the fixed z-axis by the roll angle _z. Two fast switching valves are used to regulate the pressure inside each pneumatic muscle, and this combination is subsequently referred to as a driving unit.Some realistic assump

31、tions are made as follows to simplify the analysis: (a) The working medium of the pneumatic muscles satisfies the ideal gas equation, (b) Resistance and dynamics of various pipes of the pneumatic muscles are neglected, (c) The gas leakage from the pipe is neglected, and (d) The opening and closing t
