The invention discloses a
sliding mode control method for effectively restraining
position response overshoot of a series elastic
actuator. The method comprises the steps that a sliding mode controller and a lumped disturbance decoupling observer are designed on the basis of a
kinetic model, considering lumped disturbance, of a series elastic
actuator system, and the sliding mode controller comprises a
Gaussian dynamic
gain sliding mode surface and an anti-integral saturation
superhelix reaching law; a state feedback vector of the series elastic
actuator system is input into the lumped disturbance decoupling observer, lumped disturbance torques of a motor side and a load side of the series elastic actuator
system are output after
processing, then the lumped disturbance torques and a preset position instruction of the load side are jointly input into the sliding mode controller, a q-axis current reference value is output after
processing, and the current reference value is output. And closed-
loop control is carried out on the load side position of the series elastic actuator system. According to the method, in point-to-point
position control over the load side position of the series elastic actuator, the high dynamic
response capacity of the system can be kept, and meanwhile overshoot of load side
position response can be effectively reduced.
