In this paper, we apply the interconnection and damping assignment passivity—based control design technique to the underactuated mechanical system called pendubot. The proposed control system drives a class of pendubot systems to the upward configuration, starting from a neighborhood of this configuration. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed control system.

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 pro...

A continuous feedback controller with a periodic time varying term for the attitude control of an un-deractuated rigid spacecraft is derived. The attitude is described with the Euler parameter vector. Due to the nondiierentiable nature of exponential stabilizers , sampling of some measurements is used. Global exponential convergence is indicated with analysis and simulations.

In this paper, we address the tracking problem for an underactuated ship using two controls, namely surge force and yaw moment. A simple state-feedback control law is developed and proved to render the tracking error dynamics globally -exponentially stable. Experimental results are presented where the controller is implemented on a scale model of an offshore supply vessel.
