Control of the underactuated mechanical systems using natural motion

Zdeněk Neusser, Michael Valášek (2012)

Similarity:

The paper deals with the control of underactuated mechanical systems between equilibrium positions across the singular positions. The considered mechanical systems are in the gravity field. The goal is to find feasible trajectory connecting the equilibrium positions that can be the basis of the system control. Such trajectory can be stabilized around both equilibrium positions and due to the gravity forces the mechanical system overcomes the singular positions. This altogether constitutes...

Finite-time output feedback stabilization and control for a quadrotor mini-aircraft

Chuanlin Zhang, Shihua Li, Shihong Ding (2012)

Similarity:

This paper focuses on the finite-time output feedback control problem for a quad-rotor mini-aircraft system. First, a finite-time state feedback controller is designed by utilizing the finite-time control theory. Then, considering the case that the velocity states are not measurable, a finite-time stable observer is developed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Thus a finite-time output feedback controller is obtained and the stability analysis is provided to ensure the finite-time...

A Lyapunov-based design tool of impedance controllers for robot manipulators

Marco Mendoza, Isela Bonilla, Fernando Reyes, Emilio González-Galván (2012)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper presents a design tool of impedance controllers for robot manipulators, based on the formulation of Lyapunov functions. The proposed control approach addresses two challenges: the regulation of the interaction forces, ensured by the impedance error converging to zero, while preserving a suitable path tracking despite constraints imposed by the environment. The asymptotic stability of an equilibrium point of the system, composed by full nonlinear robot dynamics and the impedance...

Finite-time cooperative tracking control for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems

Haibo Du, Yigang He, Yingying Cheng (2013)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The problem of finite-time cooperative tracking control for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems is studied in this paper. The agent dynamic is described by a second-order nonlinear system with uncertain time-varying control coefficients and unknown nonlinear perturbations. Based on the finite-time control technique and graph theory, a class of distributed finite-time control laws are proposed which are only based on the neighbors' information. Under the proposed controller,...
