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,...
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.
The polynomial matrix equation is solved for those and that give proper transfer functions characterizing a subclass of compensators, contained in the class whose arbitrary element can be cascaded to a plant with the given strictly...
A cascade scheme for passivity-based stabilization of a wide class of nonlinear systems is proposed in this paper. Starting from the definitions and basic concepts of passivity-based stabilization via feedback (which are applicable to minimum phase nonlinear systems expressed in their normal forms) a cascade stabilization scheme is proposed for minimum and non-minimum phase nonlinear systems where the constraint of stable zero dynamics imposed by previous stabilization approaches is abandoned. Simulation...
This paper is concerned with the structure of
asymptotically
stabilizing feedbacks for a nonlinear control system
on .
We first introduce a family of discontinuous, piecewise smooth vector fields
and derive a number of properties enjoyed by
solutions of the corresponding O.D.E's.
We then define a class of “patchy feedbacks”
which are obtained by patching together a locally finite
family of smooth controls.
Our main result shows that,
if a system is asymptotically controllable at the origin,...
A global feedback control of a system that exhibits a subcritical monotonic instability
at a non-zero wavenumber (short-wave, or Turing instability) in the presence of a zero
mode is investigated using a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to an equation for the zero
mode. The method based on a variational principle is applied for the derivation of a
low-dimensional evolution model. In the framework of this model the investigation of the
system’s dynamics...
The problem of finding a gain matrix of the state-feedback of 2D linear system such that the closed-loop system is positive and asymptotically stable is formulated and solved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem are established. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to suitable linear programming problem. The proposed approach can be extended to 2D linear system described by the 2D Roesser model.
A new class of fractional 2D linear discrete-time systems is introduced. The fractional difference definition is applied to each dimension of a 2D Roesser model. Solutions of these systems are derived using a 2D Z-transform. The classical Cayley-Hamilton theorem is extended to 2D fractional systems described by the Roesser model. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity and stabilization by the state-feedback of fractional 2D linear systems are established. A procedure for the computation...
We review the polynomial matrix compensator equation X_lD_r + Y_lN_r = Dk (COMP), e.g. (Callier and Desoer, 1982, Kučera, 1979; 1991), where (a) the right-coprime polynomial matrix pair (N_r, D_r) is given by the strictly proper rational plant right matrix-fraction P = N_rD_r, (b) Dk is a given nonsingular stable closed-loop characteristic polynomial matrix, and (c) (X_l, Y_l) is a polynomial matrix solution pair resulting possibly in a (stabilizing) rational compensator given by the left fraction...
