An adaptive robust observer for velocity estimation in an electro-hydraulic system. (English) Zbl 1263.93048

Summary: We propose the design of an observer to estimate the velocity of an electro-hydraulic system by using pressure measurements only. The difficulties involved in the design of an observer for such a system include the highly nonlinear system dynamics, severe parametric uncertainties such as large variation of inertial load and unmatched model uncertainties. In order to address these issues, a nonlinear model-based adaptive robust observer is designed to estimate the velocity. The contributions of the proposed work is twofold. First, it introduces a novel coordinate transformation to reconstruct the velocity estimate. And second, from a structural viewpoint, the design has two important features: (i) an underlying robust filter structure, which can attenuate the effect of uncertain nonlinearities such as friction and disturbances on the velocity estimation, and (ii) an adaptation mechanism to reduce the extent of parametric uncertainties. Experimental results on the swing motion control of an electro-hydraulic robot arm demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed observer.
