An Improved PID Controller for the Compliant Constant-Force Actuator Based on BP Neural Network and Smith Predictor

A compliant constant-force actuator based on the cylinder is an important tool for the contact operation of robots. Due to the nonlinearity and time delay of the pneumatic system, the traditional proportional–integral–derivative (PID) method for constant force control does not work so well. In this...
