A Walking Trajectory Tracking Control Based on Uncertainties Estimation for a Drilling Robot for Rockburst Prevention

Abstract

A walking trajectory tracking control approach for a walking electrohydraulic control system is developed to reduce the walking trajectory tracking deviation and enhance robustness. The model uncertainties are estimated by a designed state observer. A saturation function is used to attenuate sliding mode chattering in the designed sliding mode controller. Additionally, a walking trajectory tracking control strategy is proposed to improve the walking trajectory tracking performance in terms of response time, tracking precision, and robustness, including walking longitudinal and lateral trajectory tracking controllers. Finally, simulation and experimental results are employed to verify the trajectory tracking performance and observability of the model uncertainties. The results testify that the proposed approach is better than other comparative methods, and the longitudinal and lateral trajectory tracking average absolute errors are controlled in 10.23 mm and 22.34 mm, respectively, thereby improving the walking trajectory tracking performance of the walking electrohydraulic control system for the coal mine drilling robot for rockburst prevention.
