Adaptive position and force control of hydraulic robots, theory, simulation and experiments

The thesis investigates the adaptive control of hydraulically-actuated manipulators using a Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) algorithm. The feasibility of applying GPC to a two-link hydraulic manipulator is first studied through computer simulation, and its control performance is compared with t...
