Abstract

Nowadays, a highly integrated valve-controlled cylinder (HIVC) is applied to drive the joints of legged robots. Although the adoption of HIVC has resulted in high-performance robot control, the hydraulic force system still has problems, such as strong nonlinearity, and time-varying parameters. This makes HIVC force control very difficult and complex. How to improve the control performance of the HIVC force control system and find the influence rule of the system parameters on the control performance is very significant. Firstly, the mathematical model of HIVC force control system is established. Then the mathematical expression for parameter sensitivity matrix is obtained by applying matrix sensitivity analysis (PSM). Then, aimed at the sinusoidal response under (three factors and three levels) working conditions, the simulation and the experiment are conducted. While the error between the simulation and experiment can’t be avoided. Therefore, combined with the range analysis, the error in the two performance indexes of sinusoidal response under the whole working condition is analyzed. Besides, the sensitivity variation pattern for each system parameter under the whole working condition is figured out. Then the two sensitivity indexes for the three system parameters, which are supply pressure, proportional gain and initial displacement of piston, are proved experimentally. The proposed method significantly reveals the sensitivity characteristics of HIVC force control system, which can make the contribution to improve the control performance.
