A hybrid control strategy for force and precise end effector positioning of a twisted string actuator

Jamie Paik, Andres San Millan Rodriguez

We propose a new control approach for the twisted string actuation (TSA) system; a hybrid control scheme consisting of two nested loops, considering the motor angle and the axial force at the clamping point of the actuator as the system outputs. We show th ...
