Linear and Nonlinear Control of Musculoskeletal Systems

چکیده
The methods of nonlinear systems and control theory were applied to a simple musculoskeletal system with one joint and two muscles in this paper. For this purpose, a nonlinear input-affine state-space model has been developed for this system with a flexor and an extensor muscle taking into account the nonlinear muscle and movement dynamics. Two types of controllers were designed: a linear pole-placement servo designed for the locally linearized model, and a nonlinear controller based on asymptotic output tracking method. It is expected and forward that during a movement with a large range of motion the nonlinearities of the system will be dominant and the nonlinear methods will outperform the linear ones. The output reference tracking properties of the controllers have been investigated by simulation and it has been found that the nonlinear controller gives more accurate tracking with no overshoots than the linear one.

Potentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
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...
متن کاملSwitching fuzzy modelling and control scheme using T-S fuzzy systems with nonlinear consequent parts
This paper extends the idea of switching T-S fuzzy systems with linear consequent parts to nonlinear ones. Each nonlinear subsystem is exactly represented by a T-S fuzzy system with Lure’ type consequent parts, which allows to model and control wider classes of switching systems and also reduce the computation burden of control synthesis. With the use of a switching fuzzy Lyapunov function, the...
متن کاملAdaptive fuzzy pole placement for stabilization of non-linear systems
A new approach for pole placement of nonlinear systems using state feedback and fuzzy system is proposed. We use a new online fuzzy training method to identify and to obtain a fuzzy model for the unknown nonlinear system using only the system input and output. Then, we linearized this identified model at each sampling time to have an approximate linear time varying system. In order to stabilize...

In this paper, a robust model predictive control (MPC) algorithm is addressed for nonlinear uncertain systems in presence of the control input constraint. For achieving this goal, firstly, the additive and polytopic uncertainties are formulated in the nonlinear uncertain systems. Then, the control policy can be demonstrated as a state feedback control law in order to minimize a given cost funct...

Optimal linear controllers and high computational non-linear controllers are normally applied to control the nonlinear systems. Flatness control method is a control technique for linear systems as well as nonlinear systems by static and dynamic feedback namely as endogenous dynamic feedback. This method takes into account the non-linear behavior of the process while preventing complicated compu...
