Abstract
It is difficult to achieve a high-precision motion control in hydraulic manipulators due to their structural redundancy, strong coupling of closed-chain structures, and flow–pressure coupling. In this paper, a high-precision motion control method for hydraulic manipulators is proposed based on the traditional virtual decomposition control (VDC). The method proposed avoids an excessive virtual decomposition of the hydraulic manipulator and requires fewer model parameters than the traditional VDC. Further, the control precision improved by combining an adaptive real-time update of the inertial parameters. Compared with MBC, the proposed control method improved the motion accuracy of the hydraulic manipulator by more than 40% and 20% under elliptical and triangular trajectories. The simulation results showed that the proposed control method reduced the maximum position errors in Cartesian space by 90.4%, 86.8%, 23.6%, and 44.3% compared with PID and model-based control (MBC) in the absence of disturbances. The maximum position error in Cartesian space was reduced by 76.5% compared with that of MBC in a simulation with external disturbances. It can be seen from all the simulation results that with the proposed control method, the position error of the manipulator was less than 50 mm. The proposed control method effectively improved the motion precision of the examined hydraulic manipulator.
