Event-Triggered Torque Ripple Attenuation for Robotic Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors with Immunity to Load Transients
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The torque ripples of robotic permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) degrade motion smoothness and positioning accuracy of the system, while inevitable load transients in robotic tasks further complicate torque ripple attenuation. To address this issue, this paper develops an event-triggered torque ripple attenuation method that explicitly distinguishes torque ripple from dynamic load transients. First, a sliding-mode torque observer is constructed to obtain real-time torque information, whose stability is rigorously analyzed using a Lyapunov function. Second, frequency-selective torque ripple extraction schemes are proposed to accurately isolate steady-state high-frequency torque ripple from the estimated torque signal. In particular, two specially designed filtering structures are developed and compared, one of which is selected to preserve ripple-related frequency content during test, ensuring robust and accurate ripple identification under varying operating conditions in robotics. Third, a torque-ripple-regulation-based compensation strategy is used within a vector-controlled PMSM drive, in which the extracted torque ripple is processed by a dedicated ripple regulator to generate voltage compensation signals. This strategy achieves effective steady-state torque ripple attenuation with low implementation complexity, while avoiding performance degradation during dynamic load transients. Finally, experimental results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
