Predictive Control of an Underactuated Brachiation Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work is focused on the position control of an underactuated brachiation mobile robot with 3 links. We present the modeling of the dynamics of the robot and introduce the application of the nonlinear model-based predictive control (NMPC) to such a system. The robot has 3 revolute joints but only one of them is actuated, i. e., the robot has less control inputs than degrees of freedom. The investigation of the NMPC to control such a system is due to the fact that NMPC is able do deal with constraints (state or input limitations) in a direct way, obtaining an optimal control law. Simulation results are shown, as well as some directions for future developments. Copyright c ©IFAC 2006

Control of a Brachiation Robot with a Single Underactuated Joint Using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
In this paper we present the control of an underactuated brachiation robot with only one unactuated joint using the nonlinear model based predictive approach for the motion control. The robot used has 3 links, i. e., two arms and a body. We adopt the MPC to control the underactuated brachiation robot due to its advantages, mainly the construction of an optimal stabilizing control law and due to...
متن کاملMechanism and control of mechatronic system with higher degrees of freedom
We introduce two types of dexterous locomotion robots and their controller design approaches. One is a simplified two-link robot ‘‘Brachiator II’’. This is an example of an underactuated system where a robot mechanism has higher degrees of freedom than actuators. The desired motions are encoded as the output of a target dynamical system inspired by the pendulum-link motion of an ape’s brachiati...
متن کاملNonlinear Model Predictive Control of Robots, Cranes and Vehicles
The main goal of the paper is to show that nonlinear model based predictive control is an effective alternative method for controlling uncertain nonlinear underactuated systems satisfying real time expectations where uncertainty is caused by friction and disturbance. The paper presents control algorithms for a two degree of freedom robot and for two underactuated systems, the small size model o...
متن کاملPath Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
متن کاملTime-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...
