Abstract
This paper proposes a novel motion-tracking control methodology for an underwater cable-driven parallel mechanism (CDPM) that achieves calculation of dynamic tension constraint values, tension planning, parameter linearization, and motion tracking. The control objective is divided into three sub-objectives: motion tracking, horizontal displacement suppression, and cable-tension restriction. A linear model predictive control (LMPC) method is designed to plan cable tensions for motion-tracking and displacement suppression. The robust adaptive backstepping controller converts cable tension into winch speed based on the joint-space method and command filtering. Moreover, the X−swapping method is used to linearize and identify the time−varying nonlinear parameters. An essential prerequisite for restricting cable tension is to obtain cable-tension constraint values. A novel dynamic minimum tension control (DMTC) method, based on the equivalent control concept, is proposed for this aim. The DMTC can adaptively obtain the lower cable-tension threshold through the platform posture and motion status, anchor distribution position, and cable integrity status. Compared to traditional fixed tension constraint values, DMTC can more effectively cope with sudden changes in cable tension than fixed tension constraints. Finally, several simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach.Funding Information
