Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Control of Long-Stroke Pneumatic Actuators

Pneumatic cylinders provide an environmentfriendly actuation means by minimizing the leakage of any harmful industrial fluids, as occurs for hydraulic actuators. However, pneumatic actuation has not been utilized widely for industrial servo applications due to its highly nonlinear nature. Incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (INDI) is a form...
