Fractional-Order Active Disturbance Rejection Controller for Motion Control of a Novel 6-DOF Parallel Robot

Abstract EN

A novel 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) parallel robot driven by six novel linear motors is designed and controlled in this paper.

Detailed structures of linear motors are illustrated.

A control strategy based on kinematics of the 6-DOF parallel robot is used, and six linear motors are controlled to track their own desired trajectories under a designed fractional-order active disturbance rejection controller (FOADRC).

Compared with the normal ADRC, two desired trajectories and three different working situations of a linear motor are simulated to show good performances of the FOADRC.

Experimental results show that six linear motors can track their own desired trajectories accurately under payloads and disturbances, and the novel 6-DOF parallel robot can be controlled well.
