High-accuracy robust adaptive motion control of a torque-controlled motor servo system with friction compensation based on neural network

Abstract

In this paper, a high-accuracy motion control of a torque-controlled motor servo system with nonlinear friction compensation is presented. Friction always exists in the servo system and reduces its tracking accuracy. Thus, it is necessary to compensate for the friction effect. In this paper, a novel controller that combines robust adaptive control with friction compensation based on neural network observer is proposed. An improved LuGre friction model is applied into the friction compensation as it is known as a good model to express the nonlinear friction. A single hidden-layer network is utilized to observe the immeasurable friction state. Then, the robust adaptive controller is used to handle the parametric uncertainty, the parametric estimation error, friction compensation error, and other uncertainties. Lyapunov theory is utilized to analyze the stability of the closed-loop system. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
