This book focuses on pneumatic servo systems analysis, control and
application in robotic systems. The pneumatic servo systems are composed
by pneumatic artificial muscles or cylinders, which are two important
pneumatic actuators in industrial application. The active disturbance
rejection control technique is used effectively to solve strong
nonlinearity and uncertain factors for the pneumatic servo systems.
Nonlinear feedback control, back-stepping control, finite-time control,
sliding mode control and several other control laws are proposed to make
the pneumatic servo systems have better control performances. The book
establishes a fundamental framework for this topic, while emphasizing
the importance of integrated analysis. The book is intended for
undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in this field and
engineers working on the applications of pneumatic servo systems.
Advances in Industrial Control reports and encourages the transfer
of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control
technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The
series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended
exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.
