System-Level Efficient Performance of EMLA-Driven Heavy-Duty Manipulators via Bilevel Optimization Framework with a Leader--Follower Scenario
The global push for sustainability and energy efficiency is driving significant advancements across various industries, including the development of electrified solutions for heavy-duty mobile manipulators (HDMMs). Electromechanical linear actuators (EMLAs), powered by permanent magnet synchronous motors, present an all-electric alternative to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered hydraulic actuators, offering a promising path toward an eco-friendly future for HDMMs. However, the limited operational range of electrified HDMMs, closely tied to battery capacity, highlights the need to fully exploit the potential of EMLAs that driving the manipulators. This goal is contingent upon a deep understanding of the harmonious interplay between EMLA mechanisms and the dynamic behavior of heavy-duty manipulators. To this end, this paper introduces a bilevel multi-objective optimization framework, conceptualizing the EMLA-actuated manipulator of an electrified HDMM as a leader--follower scenario. At the leader level, the optimization algorithm maximizes EMLA efficiency by considering electrical and mechanical constraints, while the follower level optimizes manipulator motion through a trajectory reference generator that adheres to manipulator limits. This optimization approach ensures that the system operates with a synergistic trade-off between the most efficient operating region of the actuation system, achieving a total efficiency of 70.3\%, and high manipulator performance. Furthermore, to complement this framework and ensure precise tracking of the generated optimal trajectories, a robust, adaptive, subsystem-based control strategy is developed with accurate control and exponential stability. The proposed methodologies are validated on a three-degrees-of-freedom manipulator, demonstrating significant efficiency improvements while maintaining high-performance operation.
