Reliability analysis of a multi-eso based control strategy for level adjustment control system of quadruped robot under disturbances and failures

摘要

The complexity of control algorithms and their vulnerability to disturbances and failures are the main problems that restrict the operations of multi-legged mobile robots in more complex environments. In this paper, a multiple extended state observer (ESO) based control strategy is proposed to achieve stable tilt angle control for quadruped robots under the influence of disturbances and actuator failures. By treating the multiple legs as parallel control objects, more ESOs were added to improve the disturbance rejection ability of the linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC). Correlation of interactive information about the legs is realized by the synthesis of multiple ESO information. Based on LADRC, this method has the advantages of easy parameter tuning, good robustness, and strong ability to cope with interference and fault conditions. A control system reliability evaluation method was proposed. The reliability and control performance of the multi-ESO based control system under leg stuck failure conditions were systematically analyzed. Simulation and experimental results for the level adjustment control system of a quadruped robot are provided to verify the disturbance rejection ability, feasibility and practicability of the proposed multi-ESO based control method
