The problem addressed is the construction of perturbation upper bounds on the uncertain noise covariances so as to guarantee that the deviation of the control performance remains within the precision prescribed in actual problems. Furthermore, this regulator is capable of minimizing the worst performance in an uncertain case. A numerical example is exploited to show the validity of the method.展开更多

In this study, a deformable end-effector is first designed based on the requirements for contacting the nutating target. A dual-arm robotic system installed with the deformable end-effectors is modeled and the movement of the end-tips is analyzed. The complex operation of the contact toward a nutating target places strict requirements on control accuracy and controller robustness. Thus, an improvement of the tracking error transformation is proposed and an adaptive sliding mode controller with prescribed performance is designed to guarantee the fast and precise motion of the effector during the contact detumbling.Finally, by employing the proposed effector and the controller,numerical simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the contact detumbling toward a nutating target.展开更多
