Control of nonholonomic free-joint manipulators with one actuator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Manipulators with free joints are second-order nonholonomic systems whose dynamical constraints are nonintegrable. Such systems are known to be underactuated systems which can be controlled by less actuator than the dimension of the configuration space. Previously proposed methods to control free-joint manipulators have been based on the assumption of perfectly frictionless free joints. In this paper, averaging analysis of 3R manipulators with one actuator clarifies that their frictionless models are Hamiltonian systems with a conservation of an energy-like quantity. From experiments and simulations, 3R free-joint manipulators with friction at the free joints show dissipative behaviors converging to an equilibrium point. A convergence control method using the energy-like quantity to stabilize to the equilibrium point is proposed.

Optimal Motion Plans for Cooperating Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulators in an Environment with Obstacles
We address the motion planning problem for multiple cooperating manipulators on nonholonomic carts. The mobile manipulators possess the ability to manipulate and transport objects while holding them in a stable grasp. We present a general approach that allows the generation of optimal trajectories and actuator inputs for any given maneuver in the presence of obstacles. We assume a meaningful in...
متن کاملNonlinear Stabilizing Controller for a Special Class of Single Link Flexible Joint Robots
Joint flexibility is a very important factor to consider in the controller design for robot manipulators if high performance is expected. Most of the research works on control of flexible-joint robots in literature have ignored the actuator dynamics to avoid complexity in controller design. The problem of designing nonlinear controller for a class of single-link flexible-joint robot manipulator...
متن کاملNonholonomic Behavior in Free-floating Space Manipulators and its Utilization
The kinematics and dynamics of free-floating manipulators are examined from a fundamental point of view. The dynamic coupling between an uncontrolled spacecraft and its manipulator can make a system dynamically singular at configurations which cannot be predicted by the system’s kinematic properties. Nonholonomic behavior is observed in free-floating systems, and is due to the nonintegrability ...
متن کاملOn Robust Hybrid Force/Motion Control Strategies Based on Actuator Dynamics for Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulators
Robust force/motion control strategies are presented for mobile manipulators under both holonomic and nonholonomic constraints in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. The controls are based on structural knowledge of the dynamics of the robot, and the actuator dynamics is also taken into account. The proposed control is robust not only to structured uncertainty such as mass variation...
