Dynamics and Control of Bouncing Ball
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the control of a bouncing ball using Model Predictive Control. Bouncing ball is a benchmark problem for various rhythmic tasks such as juggling, walking, hopping and running. Humans develop intentions which may be perceived as our reference trajectory and tries to track it. The human brain optimizes the control effort needed to track its reference; this forms the central theme for control of bouncing ball in our investigations. Keywords—Bouncing Ball, impact dynamics, intermittent control, model predictive control.

The dialogue between data and model: Passive stability and relaxation behavior in a ball bouncing task
We investigate the skill of rhythmically bouncing a ball on a racket with a focus on the mathematical modeling of the stability of performance. As a first step we derive the deterministic ball bouncing map as a Poincaré section of a sinusoidally driven bouncing ball. Subsequently, we show the ball bouncing map to have a passively stable regime. More precisely, for negative racket acceleration a...
متن کاملIdenti cation and Nonlinear Controller Design for the Bouncing Ball Experiment
The dynamics of a ball driven by a massive sinusoidally vibrating plate are highly nonlinear and undergo a number of bifurcations of xed points with various periodicities. This paper is concerned with a rst step on experimentally analyzing these dynamics using the "Bouncing Ball Apparatus". Signal processing methods and parameter identi cation routines have been implemented and a straight forwa...
متن کاملPassive vs. active control of rhythmic ball bouncing: the role of visual information.
The simple task of bouncing a ball on a racket offers a model system for studying how human actors exploit the physics and information of the environment to control their behavior. Previous work shows that people take advantage of a passively stable solution for ball bouncing but can also use perceptual information to actively stabilize bouncing. In this article, we investigate (a) active and p...
متن کاملChapter 4 Robust Closed - Loop Control of the Bouncing Ball
As illustrated in Chapter 3, open-loop stabilization of the bouncing ball requires negative acceleration of the actuator at impact (eq. (3.19), see Schaal et al., 1996). In contrast, the mirror law algorithms have been designed in closed-loop and can consequently afford positive acceleration at impact. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the role of acceleration tuning for robust closed-loop ...
متن کاملDynamics of a ball bouncing on a vibrated elastic membrane.
We investigate the dynamics of a ball bouncing on a vibrated elastic membrane. Beyond the classical solid-solid case, we study the effect of introducing new degrees of freedom by allowing substrate oscillations. The forcing frequency of the vibration strongly influences the different thresholds between the dynamical states. The simple model proposed gives good agreement between the experiments ...
