On Nonlinear Control of Euler-Lagrange Systems: Disturbance Attenuation Properties
نویسنده
چکیده
In this brief note we analyse the disturbance attenuation properties of some asymptotically stabilizing nonlinear controllers for Euler-Lagrange systems reported in the literature. Our objective with this study is twofold: rst, to compare the performance of these schemes from a perspective diierent from stabilizability; second, to quantify the basic tradeoo between robust stability and robust performance for these designs. We consider passivity-based and feedback linearization schemes developed for the control of DC-to-DC converters and rigid robots. For the DC-to-DC problem we show that for both controllers there exists a lower bound to the achievable attenuation level, i.e. a lower bound to the L 2-gain of the closed loop operator from disturbance to regulated output, which is independent of the design parameters. Also, for the passivity based scheme we obtain an upper bound for the disturbance attenuation, which is insured provided we sacriice the convergence rate. For rigid robots we show that both approaches yield arbitrarily good disturbance attenuation without compromising the convergence rate.

متن کاملAnalytic Nonlinear Inverse-Optimal Control for Euler–Lagrange System
Recent success in nonlinear control design is applied to the control of Euler–Lagrange systems. It is known that the existence of optimal control depends on solvability of the so-called Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaccs (HJI) partial differential equation. In this article, the associated HJI equation for nonlinear inverse-optimal control problem for Euler–Lagrangian system is solved analytically. The resu...
متن کاملDistributed robust control for synchronised tracking of networked Euler-Lagrange systems
In this paper, we propose a distributed robust controlmethod for synchronised tracking of networked Euler–Lagrange systems, where the time-varying reference trajectory is sent to only a subset of the agents. It is assumed that the agents can exchange information with their local neighbours on a bidirectionally connected communication graph. In the local controller equipped in each generalised c...
متن کاملSwitching fuzzy modelling and control scheme using T-S fuzzy systems with nonlinear consequent parts
This paper extends the idea of switching T-S fuzzy systems with linear consequent parts to nonlinear ones. Each nonlinear subsystem is exactly represented by a T-S fuzzy system with Lure’ type consequent parts, which allows to model and control wider classes of switching systems and also reduce the computation burden of control synthesis. With the use of a switching fuzzy Lyapunov function, the...
متن کاملRobust containment control in a leader–follower network of uncertain Euler–Lagrange systems
A distributed controller is developed that yields cooperative containment control of a network of autonomous dynamical systems. The networked agents are modeled with uncertain nonlinear Euler–Lagrange dynamics affected by an unknown time-varying exogenous disturbance. The developed continuous controller is robust to input disturbances and uncertain dynamics such that asymptotic convergence of t...
