Par4 Parallel Robot Trajectory Tracking Control Based on DMR-GWO2 and Fuzzy Predictive

Abstract

A dynamic Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is proposed, noted as DGWO2, and a novel dynamic improved GWO algorithm is obtained after transferring the mutation operator and the eliminating–reconstructing mechanism to the DGWO2, noted as DMR-GWO2. A Type-2 fuzzy predictive compensation PID trajectory tracking controller based on the DMR-GWO2 is proposed to attain the tracking targets for the trajectory control of Par4 parallel robot. In the trajectory tracking controller, the DMR-GWO2 is designed for optimizing the Type-2 fuzzy logic controller which is in parallel with the PID controller to speed up the response of the parallel robot and to get the high adaptive capacity of the whole system. One input of the Type-2 fuzzy logic controller is the tracking error, while the other input is the sum of the derivative of the tracking error and the change rate of the expected angle. Finally, the experiments verify the effectiveness of the designed trajectory tracking controller and the tracking errors are small.
