Abstract

This paper proposes a nonlinear observer-based controller designed to compensate for friction in harmonic drives with hysteresis. Hysteresis in a harmonic drive is described by a nonlinear differential equation representing the combination of nonlinear stiffness and nonlinear friction. Nonmeasurable friction is derived using a nonlinear observer to provide asymptotic stability and position tracking. The performance of the proposed system is confirmed by computer simulation.
