- Abstract
Robotic drilling technology for aircraft flexible assembly has challenges and is under active investigation. In this work, a robotic drilling end-effector is designed and its normal adjustment system is dynamically modeled for comparison of advanced control strategies in terms of position tracking precision and dynamic quality. Three control algorithms with different computational complexity are proposed and compared: Based on computation torque control method first, a proportional and differential controller (PDC) and a sliding mode controller (SMC) are proposed respectively, and then is a model reference adaptive controller (MRAC). Simulation results show that the SMC has higher precision and a more excellent tracking property than the PDC of which the proportional and derivative gains have been optimally tuned using a modified Ziegler-Nichols' (Z-N) tuning methods. An experiment platform is established in MatLab xPC environment to validate the effect of the SMC and MRAC. The experiment results show that the MRAC delivers a better robust performance that allows adaptiveness to the nonlinear factors such as disturbance and parameter variations than the SMC.
