Decentralized control in natural and artificial legged systems
نویسنده
چکیده
For legged locomotion, animals and humans rely more on decentralized feedback control than on the central control approach common in humanoid robotics. We present evidence that the decentralization does not hamper fidelity and may present an alternative approach to robust locomotion of legged robots from prosthesis to humanoids. Keywords-locomotion, decentralized control, bioinspiration

A New Class of Decentralized Interaction Estimators for Load Frequency Control in Multi-Area Power Systems
Load Frequency Control (LFC) has received considerable attention during last decades. This paper proposes a new method for designing decentralized interaction estimators for interconnected large-scale systems and utilizes it to multi-area power systems. For each local area, a local estimator is designed to estimate the interactions of this area using only the local output measurements. In fact,...
متن کاملDecentralized Model Reference Adaptive Control of Large Scale Interconnected Systems with Time-Delays in States and Inputs
This paper investigates the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delays in interconnected terms and state and input delays. The upper bounds of the interconnection terms are considered to be unknown. Time varying delays in the nonlinear interconnection terms are bounded and nonnegative continuous functions and thei...
متن کاملSeismic Response of 4-Legged Self-Supporting Telecommunication Towers
Telecommunication tower is an important component of the basic infrastructure of communication systems and thus preserving them in events of natural disasters - such as a severe earthquake - is of high priority. In past studies, researchers have mostly considered the effects of wind and earthquake-induced loads on 3-legged (triangular cross-section) self-supporting steel telecommunication tower...
متن کاملAdaptive Observer-Based Decentralized Scheme for Robust Nonlinear Power Flow Control Using HPFC
This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...
متن کاملDecentralized Adaptive Control of Large-Scale Non-affine Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems Using Neural Networks
In this paper, a decentralized adaptive neural controller is proposed for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear, non-affine subsystems and unknown nonlinear time-delay interconnections. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed through Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability analysis. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approache...
