Control of Nonlinear Underactuated Systems

چکیده
In this paper we introduce a new method to design control laws for non-linear un-deractuated systems. Our method will often work in situations where standard control techniques fail. Even when standard techniques apply, we believe that our approach will achieve better performance. This is because we produce an infinite dimensional family of control laws, whereas most control techniques only produce a finite dimensional family of control laws. We will describe the problem and our solution invariantly, using differential geometry and in local coordinates. We hope that this paper will be useful for both mathematicians and engineers. We include an abstract example of a system which is open-loop unstable and cannot be stabilized using any linear control law, and demonstrate that our method produces a stabilizing control law. We also apply our method to the inverted pendulum cart to compare it with some standard control techniques. An important problem in control theory is how to modify a system of ordinary differential equations so that solutions to the equations satisfy some property. In order to

Time-Invariant State Feedback Control Laws for a Special Form of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems Using Linear State Bisection
Linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. The specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. The basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...

متن کاملNonlinear Control and Reduction of Underactuated Systems with Symmetry II: Unactuated Shape Variables Case
In this paper, we address nonlinear control and reduction of two classes of high-order underactuated mechanical systems with kinetic symmetry called Class-II and Class-III systems. Class-II systems are underactuated systems with unactuated shape variables, decoupled inputs, and integrable normalized momentums (all to be defined). We show that all Class-II underactuated systems can be transforme...
متن کاملControl of underactuated mechanical systems
In this report, different control techniques for underactuated systems are considered. Underactuated systems are systems that have more degrees of freedom to be controlled than independent control inputs. Several control-techniques are considered for the point-to-point control of underactuated mechanical systems. After that, a control technique is considered for tracking control of underactuate...
