Abstract
This paper presents a control methodology that enables nonlinear model-base control of pulse width modulated (PWM) pneumatic position servo control system of a magnetic resonance (MR) compatible needle insertion robot used for MRI-guided prostate brachytherapy. Sliding mode control with a boundary layer is investigated based on the equivalent continuous-time dynamic model. Considering chattering in sliding mode control applications, especially in motion control of the robot, a fuzzy method is developed to tune the boundary layer of the sliding mode controller. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the controller is effective in both position control and trajectory tracking. With the boundary layer increasing, the steady state error of the response is becoming larger; however the maximum error is less than 0.2 mm. This steady state performance meets the accuracy requirement.
