Reduction by group symmetry of second order variational problems on a semidirect product of Lie groups with positive definite riemannian metric

Claudio Altafini (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

For a riemannian structure on a semidirect product of Lie groups, the variational problems can be reduced using the group symmetry. Choosing the Levi-Civita connection of a positive definite metric tensor, instead of any of the canonical connections for the Lie group, simplifies the reduction of the variations but complicates the expression for the Lie algebra valued covariant derivatives. The origin of the discrepancy is in the semidirect product structure, which implies that the riemannian exponential...

Riemannian metrics on 2D-manifolds related to the Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion

Bernard Bonnard, Olivier Cots, Jean-Baptiste Pomet, Nataliya Shcherbakova (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion is a standard mechanical system and it is a model for left-invariant Riemannian metrics on SO(3). In this article using the Serret−Andoyer variables we parameterize the solutions and compute the Jacobi fields in relation with the conjugate locus evaluation. Moreover, the metric can be restricted to a 2D-surface, and the conjugate points of this metric are evaluated using recent works on surfaces of revolution. Another related 2D-metric on S2 associated to the...

Robust decoupling through algebraic output feedback in manipulation systems

Paolo Mercorelli (2010)

Kybernetika

This paper investigates the geometric and structural characteristics involved in the control of general mechanisms and manipulation systems. These systems consist of multiple cooperating linkages that interact with a reference member of the mechanism (the “object”) by means of contacts on any available part of their links. Grasp and manipulation of an object by the human hand is taken as a paradigmatic example for this class of manipulators. Special attention is devoted to the output specification...

Rotary inverted pendulum: trajectory tracking via nonlinear control techniques

Luis E. Ramos-Velasco, Javier Ruiz, Sergej Čelikovský (2002)

Kybernetika

The nonlinear control techniques are applied to the model of rotary inverted pendulum. The model has two degrees of freedom and is not exactly linearizable. The goal is to control output trajectory of the rotary inverted pendulum asymptotically along a desired reference. Moreover, the designed controller should be robust with respect to specified perturbations and parameters uncertainties. A combination of techniques based on nonlinear normal forms, output regulation and sliding mode approach is...
