MPC motion control of boom descending of unmanned excavator based on regenerative valve.

The control precision of the working device has always been a challenging aspect in unmanned excavator research due to the adoption of a triangular drive mode and a complex hydraulic system in the working mechanism. The article focuses on the research of autonomous control for the downward motion of a robotic arm in an unmanned excavator equipped with a regeneration valve. The study aims to achieve precise tracking of fast movement trajectories during operator manipulation, utilizing Model Predictive Control (MPC).

A Hybrid Control with PID⁻Improved Sliding Mode for Flat-Top of Missile Electromechanical Actuator Systems.

Electromechanical actuator (EMA) systems are widely employed in missiles. Due to the influence of the nonlinearities, there is a flat-top of about 64 ms when tracking the small-angle sinusoidal signals, which significantly reduces the performance of the EMA system and even causes the missile trajectory to oscillate. Aiming to solve these problems, this paper presents a hybrid control for flat-top situations.
