Abstract
The three-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) parallel mechanism (PM) is widely used due to its simple structure and ability to avoid coupling problems commonly found in high-DoF PMs. The conventional control approach is usually independent control for each branch of the mechanism using a PID controller, without considering the consistency among branches. This paper proposes a novel cooperative control strategy for the 3-DoF PM to achieve both synchronized and differential motion. A pneumatic actuated test rig was constructed to validate the effectiveness of the cooperative controller. The results demonstrate our control approach outperforms the PID controller. Our self-designed platform is functional and intuitive, which can be regarded as a control scheme test bench for a 3-DoF PM.
