Abstract Advanced manufacturing is characterised by machines that move an end effector through a given trajectory to perform operations such as cutting, grinding and printing. In many industrial machines, properties such as structural flexibility, external disturbances as well as spatially separate actuator and end effector make the tracking problem challenging. In this paper, a literature survey on trajectory tracking control algorithms is conducted to examine representative features of existing methods. Then the major classes of algorithms are compared on a commercial single-axis test bench to provide practitioners with a direct insight into the trade-off between performance and implementation.

工业跟踪控制算法综述

摘要 先进制造的特点是机器通过给定的轨迹移动末端执行器以执行切割、研磨和打印等操作。在许多工业机器中，结构灵活性、外部干扰以及空间分离的执行器和末端执行器等特性使跟踪问题具有挑战性。在本文中，对轨迹跟踪控制算法进行了文献调查，以检查现有方法的代表性特征。然后在商业单轴测试台上比较主要算法类别，让从业者直接了解性能和实现之间的权衡。
