Prelab The open-loop system dynamics model for the NASA eight-axis Advanced Research Manipulator II (ARM II) electromechanical shoulder joint/link, actuated by an armature-controlled dc servomotor is shown in Figure P8.22. The ARM II shoulder joint constant parameters are Ka?=12,L=0.006H,R=1.4?, Kb?=0.00867,n=200,Km?=4.375,J=Jm?+JL?/n2,D=Dm?+DL?/n2,JL?=1,DL?=0.5,Jm?= 0.00844 , and Dm?=0.00013 (Craig, 2005), (Nyzen, 1999), and (Williams, 1994). a. Obtain the equivalent open-loop transfer function, G(s)=Vref?(s)?L?(s)?. b. The loop is to be closed by cascading a controller, Gc?(s)=KD?s+KP?, with G(s) in the forward path forming an equivalent forward-transfer function, Ge?(s)=Gc?(s)G(s). Parameters of Gc?(s) will be used to design a desired transient performance. The input to the closed-loop system is a voltage, VI?(s), representing the desired angular displacement of the robotic joint with a ratio of 1 volt equals 1 radian. The output of the closed-loop system is the actual angular displacement of the joint, ?L?(s). An encoder in the feedback path, Ke?, converts the actual joint displacement to a voltage with a ratio of 1 radian equals 1 volt. Draw the closed-loop system showing all transfer functions. c. Find the closed-loop transfer function. FIGURE P8.22 Open-loop model for ARM ll
