Optimal control of systems with unilateral
نویسنده
چکیده
Problems in robotics and biomechanics such as tra-jectory planning or resolution of redundancy can be eeectively solved using optimal control. Such systems are often subject to unilateral constraints. Examples include tasks involving contacts (e.g., walking, running , multiingered or multiarm manipulation), and other tasks that may not involve contacts but in which the system state or the inputs must satisfy inequality conditions (e.g., limits on actuator forces). This paper shows how problems of optimal control in robotics that involve unilateral constraints can be eeciently solved by rst formulating the constrained optimal control problem as an unconstrained problem of the calculus of variations 1] and then solving it using an integral formulation. This method has several advantages over the Pontryagin Minimum Principle which is traditionally employed to solve such problems. An example of two-arm manipulation with inequality constraints due to Coulomb friction is used to demonstrate the formulation of the problem and the algorithms.

متن کاملAn Optimal Dynamic Control Method for an Isolated Intersection Using Fuzzy Systems
Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...

Then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated ...
