Adaptive variable impedance hybrid force-position control method for hub-spoke grinding robots
摘要
This paper presents an adaptive hybrid force-position control method for wheel-spoke grinding robots, addressing two critical industry challenges: (1) path-surface mismatch causing localized over/under-grinding, and (2) unstable contact pressure leading to poor surface finish. The proposed method integrates a disturbance observer (DOB) with nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (NFTSMC), featuring dual-loop innovation: In the force-control loop, a recurrent neural network (RNN) dynamically adjusts impedance parameters to maintain constant grinding force; in the position-control loop, the DOB-enhanced NFTSMC achieves precise trajectory tracking while rejecting disturbances. Experimental validation on automotive wheel spokes demonstrates superior performance: position tracking error reduced to
