RT Conference Proceedings T1 A mixed GPC-H∞ robust cascade position-pressure control strategy for electropneumatic cylinders A1 Chikh, Lotfi A1 Poignet, Philippe A1 Pierrot, François A1 Baradat, Cédric AB A robust cascade strategy combining an outer position predictive control loop and an inner H∞ pressure control loop is proposed and tested on an electropneumatic testbed for parallel robotic applications. Two types of cylinders are tested, the standard double acting cylinder and the rodless one. A position/pressure difference (or force) strategy is developed and implemented. As the behavior of the nonlinear cylinders is nonlinear, a feedback linearization strategy is adopted. A Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) is synthesized for the position outer loop and a constrained LMI based H∞ controller is synthesized for the pressure inner loop. Experimental results show the feasibility of the control strategies and good performances in terms of robustness and dynamic tracking.
