Parameter influence on passive dynamic walking of a robot with flat feet

Xiangze Lin, Haibo Du, Shihua Li (2013)

Kybernetika

The biped robot with flat feet and fixed ankles walking down a slope is a typical impulsive dynamic system. Steady passive gaits for such mechanism can be induced on certain shallow slopes without actuation. The steady gaits can be described by using stable non-smooth limit cycles in phase plane. In this paper, it is shown that the robot gaits are affected by three parameters, namely the ground slope, the length of the foot, and the mass ratio of the robot. As the ground slope is gradually increased,...

Parametrization and geometric analysis of coordination controllers for multi-agent systems

Xiaoli Wang, Yiguang Hong (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we address distributed control structures for multi-agent systems with linear controlled agent dynamics. We consider the parametrization and related geometric structures of the coordination controllers for multi-agent systems with fixed topologies. Necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize stabilizing consensus controllers are obtained. Then we consider the consensus for the multi-agent systems with switching interaction topologies based on control parametrization.

Predictive control for trajectory tracking and decentralized navigation of multi-agent formations

Ionela Prodan, Sorin Olaru, Cristina Stoica, Silviu-Iulian Niculescu (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper addresses a predictive control strategy for a particular class of multi-agent formations with a time-varying topology. The goal is to guarantee tracking capabilities with respect to a reference trajectory which is pre-specified for an agent designed as the leader. Then, the remaining agents, designed as followers, track the position and orientation of the leader. In real-time, a predictive control strategy enhanced with the potential field methodology is used in order to derive a feedback...
