The Pendubot: a Mechatronic System for Control Research and Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 In this paper we describe the Pendubot, a mechatronic device for use in control engineering education and for research in nonlinear control and robotics. This device is a two{link planar robot with an actuator at the shoulder but no actuator at the elbow. With this system , a number of fundamental concepts in nonlinear dynamics and control theory may be illustrated. The pendubot complements previous mechatronic systems, such as the Acrobot 3] and the inverted pendulum of Furuta 4].

Real-time MHE-based nonlinear MPC of a Pendubot system ⋆
This paper addresses the real-time optimal control of a Pendubot using nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) combined with nonlinear moving horizon estimation (MHE). This fast, under-actuated nonlinear mechatronic system apparently poses a challenging benchmark problem that may benefit from a nonlinear optimization scheme. To overcome the related computational difficulties we make use of th...
متن کاملQualitative and quantitative approaches to analyse reliability of a mechatronic system: a case
The main research intent of this paper is to introduce the use of fault tree analysis (FTA) and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in conjunction to analyse the risk and reliability of a complex mechatronic system in both qualitative and quantitative manner. The major focus is on handling imprecise and vague information with the help of fuzzy synthesis of information. A complex mechatroni...
متن کاملInterconnection and Damping Assignment Passivity--Based Control of the Pendubot
In this paper, we apply the interconnection and damping assignment passivity—based control design technique to the underactuated mechanical system called pendubot. The proposed control system drives a class of pendubot systems to the upward configuration, starting from a neighborhood of this configuration. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed control system.
متن کاملHybrid Control of the Pendubot
Swing up and balance control are two interesting control problems for the Pendubot. Many studies have been conducted for swing up control of the Pendubot. A few results have been reported for feedback stabilization of the Pendubot. In this paper, we will apply a new hybrid controller for feedback stabilization of the Pendubot. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first implementat...

Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
