Sinusoidal Sweep Control of an Improved Pneumatic Suspension
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the analytical and experimental validation of an improved pneumatic suspension. This improvement is based on the right selection of the suspension elements, that is, the right selection of the air spring and reservoir size. As a result of this kind of selection, the suspension stiffness ratio is increased. This conclusion is taken from a previous work of these authors and allows showing both analytically and experimentally how the suspension presents better performance. The system is evaluated by means of a controlled sinusoidal sweep.

متن کاملControl of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
