The application discloses a
rope-driven flexible
robot based on neural network adaptive
backstepping fault-tolerant control method, comprising the following steps: S1, obtaining a dynamic model and giving a desired reference trajectory; S2, introducing a
quaternion to eliminate error and obtaining
tracking error of a
robot working end; S3, designing a
backstepping fault-tolerant control law, according to a
robot model and a control target of trajectory tracking, designing a control law of a
robot trajectory tracking controller and determining
control parameters; S4, introducing an RBF neural
network model to approximate unknown quantities which are difficult to directly obtain in the control law; S5, analyzing stability and convergence of the
backstepping fault-tolerant
system, adjusting
control parameters of the controller and outputting trajectory tracking results. The application designs an RBF neural network adaptive backstepping fault-tolerant controller for a
rope-driven flexible continuous robot, on the basis of guaranteeing stable tracking of the
system by using the backstepping control scheme, a fault-tolerant control scheme is added, so that safety of the robot is ensured when a fault occurs in an
actuator.
