In previous lectures, we discussed the design of state feedback controllers using using eigenvalue (pole) placement algorithms. For single input systems, given a set of desired eigenvalues, the feedback gain to achieve this is unique (as long as the system is controllable). For multi-input systems, the feedback gain is not unique, so there is additional design freedom. How does one utilize this...

We consider the infinite time linear-quadratic control problem from a behavioral point of view. The performance functional is the integral of a quadratic differential form. A characterization of the stationary trajectories and of the local minima with respect to (left) compact support variations, as well as their relation to stability, are obtained. Finally, several theorems are derived that de...

This paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. The proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. This kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

Abstract Balancing a bipedal robot movement against external perturbations is considered challenging and complex topic. This paper discusses how the vibration caused by disturbance has been tackled Linear Quadratic Regulator, which aims to provide optimal control system. A simulation was conducted on MATLAB in order prove concept. Results have shown that linear quadratic regulator successful st...
