Description
Summary:As an important driver element, the pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is widely used in industrial applications for many automation purposes thanks to their variety of advantages. Th e design of a stable robust position controller for PAM is difficult since it is a very nonlinear timevariant controlled plant because of the compressibility of air, air mass flow rate through the valve, etc. The main contribution o f this paper is a robust position control method based on sliding mod e for a robot arm, driven by pneumati c muscle actuator. Finally, it presents experimental results.
