PATH-FOLLOWING OR REFERENCE-TRACKING? An answer relaxing the limits to performance

چکیده
In path-following the control objective is to force the output to follow a geometric path without a timing law assigned to it. We highlight a fundamental difference between the path-following and the standard reference-tracking by demonstrating that performance limitation due to unstable zero-dynamics can be removed in the path-following problem.

Performance limitations in reference tracking and path following for nonlinear systems
We investigate limits of performance in reference-tracking and path-following and highlight an essential difference between them. For a class of nonlinear systems, we show that in reference-tracking, the smallest achievable L2 norm of the tracking error is equal to the least amount of control energy needed to stabilize the zero-dynamics of the error system. We then show that this fundamental pe...

متن کاملDesign of an Intelligent Controller for Station Keeping, Attitude Control, and Path Tracking of a Quadrotor Using Recursive Neural Networks
During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...
متن کاملPath Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
