This technology is an algorithm that calculates sliding variables based on a system's position error and rate of change over time, applying them to a nonlinear adaptive load model to adjust PID controller gains in real time.
Conventional PID controllers use fixed gain constants, which can lead to degraded control performance or difficulty in maintaining robustness when system loads change, often requiring repetitive trial and error by the user to determine optimal gains.
This technology uses sliding variables as inputs for a nonlinear adaptive load model to adaptively calculate PID gains. It includes control logic that reduces gains to a lower limit to maintain stability when sliding variables increase due to load changes, and resets gains upon detecting load variations via sensors. Applicable to industrial robots and automation systems, this method improves the robustness of the system controller against significant load fluctuations by adaptively modifying the PID gains.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Science and ICT for brain mapping-based robot rehabilitation.
