Impulse Controller Design of a Harmonic Drive System with Friction

A friction model was established for impulse control design in a precision control system.First,the physical characteristics of the impulse in momentum,such as motion and energy,were analyzed and formulated.Then,experimental response to a new pulse with two harmonic expansions was studied.The first harmonic is the main pulse to drive the arm,and the second harmonic has two functions:its first half helps the main pulse eliminate the dead zone,and its second half,a negative pulse,stops the arm motion quickly.Finally,an impulse feedback controller was developed.Comparison between simulation and experiments shows the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
