Accurate position control of a pneumatic actuator using on/off solenoid valves
Abstract
The development of a fast, accurate and inexpensive position controlled pneumatic actuator that may be applied to a variety of robotic applications is described. A novel PWM valve pulsing algorithm allowed on/off solenoid valves to be used in place of costly servo valves. A linear process model was obtained from experimental data using system identification. A PID controller with added friction compensation and position feedforward was …
