In this paper, the needle insertion motion control of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible robot, which is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder with long transmission lines, is considered and a pressure observer based adaptive dynamic surface controller is proposed. The long transmission line is assumed to be an intermediate chamber connected between the control valve and the actuator in series, and a nonlinear first order system model is constructed to characterize the pressure losses and time delay brought by it. Due to the fact that MRI-compatible pressure sensors are not commercially available, a globally stable pressure observer is employed to estimate the chamber pressure. Based on the model of the long transmission line and the pressure observer, an adaptive dynamic surface controller is further designed by using the dynamic surface control technique. Compared to the traditional backstepping design method, the proposed controller can avoid the problem of “explosion of complexity” since the repeated differentiation of virtual controls is no longer required. The stability of the closed-loop system is analytically proven by employing the Lyapunov theory. Extensive experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and the performance robustness of the proposed controller.
