This paper presents a frequency-response test performed on an antagonistic actuation system consisting of two Mckibben pneumatic artificial muscles and a pneumatic circuit. A linear model, capable of estimating the dynamic characteristics of the antagonistic system in the operating range of pneumatic artificial muscles, was optimally calculated based on frequency-response results and applied to a multiple simultaneous specification control scheme. Trajectory tracking results showed that the presented multiple simultaneous specification controller, built experimentally by three PD typed sample controllers, satisfied successfully all required control specifications; rising time, maximum overshoot, steady-state error.

This paper presents a close-loop feedback control scheme, which can simultaneously satisfy multiple conflicting control performances, for a high speed positioning system driven by a brushless D.C. motor. With the dynamic model of the motor and proportional-plus-derivative feedback controllers selected as sample controllers, the convex combined feedback controller is formulated for implementing a direct-drive manipulator. Experimental results show that the developed multiple simultaneous specification(MSS) controller can meet desired control performances; maximum overshoot and rise time.
