Simulation and Experimental on Coordination Control of Dual-Valve Electrohydraulic Servo Systems Based on Integration of Reinforcement Learning and Adaptive Robust Control Algorithm
To enhance the control performance of a dual-valve electro-hydraulic servo system,this study conducts simulation analysis and experimental validation on a proposed coordinated control strategy, SAC-ARC, which integrates reinforcement learning with adaptive robust control.First, a co-simulation model of the hydraulic system was established using the AMESim and Simulink software platforms, and the tracking performance of the dual-valve electro-hydraulic servo system was analyzed under various proportional valve control signal compensation strategies. Subsequently, comparative simulations were performed to evaluate the tracking performance and robustness of the SAC-ARC strategy. The tracking errors of SAC-ARC were compared with those of PID, ARC, and RBF-ARC control strategies under complex working conditions, including various composite signals and the presence of internal and external disturbances. Finally, experimental validation was carried out on an established test platform. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the SAC-ARC control strategy exhibits superior tracking performance under all tested working conditions. Its maximum transient error and cumulative tracking error are both significantly lower than those of the comparative control strategies, thus validating the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed strategy for the dual-valve electro-hydraulic servo system.
