The invention discloses a mechanical arm
control system based on a variable-stiffness elastic driver. The mechanical arm
control system comprises a real-time
computer control system, a
data acquisition system, a driving end, a stiffness adjusting mechanism and an output
flange. The invention further discloses a mechanical arm control method based on the variable-stiffness elastic driver. According to the mechanical arm
control system disclosed by the invention, the structure is compact, the universality is high, the stiffness is continuous and adjustable, and the external
impact fore can be effectively reduced; by utilization of the own smooth feature of the mechanical arm control
system, a joint connection rod is protected, and then all parts of a whole
robot are well protected; in a control process, the nonlinear problem caused by an elastic element in the elastic driver, namely the influence, caused by the
variable stiffness, on the performance, as well as the
robot dynamics and the driver dynamics are considered; through the construction of a novel high-dimensional integral Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional on a closed-loop system, the
controller design procedure is simplified, and the overall stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed; and the mechanical arm control system has the characteristics of being high in stability and strong in interference-resistant capability.
