Nonlinear Control Techniques for Electro-Hydraulic Actuators in Robotics Engineering

Nonlinear Control Techniques for Electro-Hydraulic Actuators in Robotics Engineering

meets the needs of those working in advanced electro-hydraulic controls for modern mechatronic and robotic systems. The non-linear EHS control methods covered are proving to be more effective than traditional controllers, such as PIDs. The control strategies given address parametric uncertainty, unknown external load disturbance, single-rod actuator characteristics, and control saturation. Theoretical and experimental validations are explained, and examples provided. Based on the authors'' cutting-edge research, this work is an important resource for engineers, researchers, and students working in EHS.
