This invention discloses an effective
sliding mode control method for suppressing overshoot in the
position response of a series elastic
actuator. The method includes: designing a sliding mode controller and a lumped disturbance decoupling
observer based on a dynamic model of the series elastic
actuator system considering lumped disturbances. The sliding mode controller includes a
Gaussian dynamic
gain sliding surface and an anti-integral saturation superspiral reaching law; inputting the state feedback vector of the series elastic
actuator system into the lumped disturbance decoupling observer,
processing it, and outputting the lumped disturbance torque of the motor side and load side of the series elastic actuator
system, then inputting it together with the preset position command of the load side into the sliding mode controller,
processing it, and outputting the q-axis current reference value, thereby performing closed-
loop control of the load side position of the series elastic actuator system. This invention, in point-to-point
position control of the load side position of a series elastic actuator, can effectively reduce the overshoot of the load side
position response while maintaining the system's high dynamic response capability.
