Article
In this paper, a LuGre model–based robust adaptive control (RAC) approach is presented for a pump-controlled hydraulic actuator. We first decompose the LuGre friction model into its steady-state model and a lumped dynamic part applying the mean value theorem, which are compensated by a feedforward term and a robust adaptive term, respectively. The...
Article
This paper is focused on asymptotic tracking control of electro-hydraulic actuator (EHA) systems subject to matched and mismatched time-varying disturbances. To counteract the matched disturbance, a novel extended state observer (ESO) is proposed to achieve asymptotic convergence of the estimation error, by incorporating the strictly positive real...

Pump-controlled hydraulic actuators (PHAs) contain slow mechanical and fast hydraulic dynamics, and thus singular perturbation theory can be adopted in the control strategies of PHAs. In this article, we develop a singular perturbation theory-based composite control approach for a PHA with position tracking error constraint. Disturbance observers (...
Article
Characterized by high power-to-weight ratio, modularity and energy efficiency, electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHAs) have been successfully applied to aircrafts and submarines, where high precision and repeatability are in high demand. The position tracking performance, however, can be inevitably affected by parametric uncertainties and uncertain no...
Article
In swing system of excavators, energy recuperation and hybrid actuation is desirable to improve energy efficiency because of its characteristic large inertial load and cyclic operation. Numerous studies have focused on optimisation of hybrid structures and power management strategies, whereas only a little attention has been paid to the control per...

A bilateral teleoperator allows operators to use a master manipulator to interact with the environment via a slave manipulator. It can be used in remote, hazardous or inaccessible situations. Although numerous bilateral teleoperation studies have been conducted on electrical actuators, research on hydraulic actuators, especially research on electro...
