Stabilization of trajectories for systems with nonholonomic constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new technique for stabilizing nonholonomic systems to trajectories is presented. It is well known (see [2]) that such systems cannot be stabilized to a point using smooth static-state feedback. In this note, we suggest the use of control laws for stabilizing a system about a trajectory, instead of a point. Given a nonlinear system and a desired (nominal) feasible trajectory, the note gives an explicit control law which will locally exponentially stabilize the system to the desired trajectory. The theory is applied to several examples, including a car-like robot.

Passivity based control of a class ofHamiltonian systemswith
This paper is concerned with state and output feedback stabilization of a class of port-Hamiltonian systems with nonholonomic constraints. First we study canonical forms for port-Hamiltonian systems with nonholonomic constraints. Second, we give a new state feedback stabilization method by using non-smooth Hamiltonian functions via generalized canonical transformations. Third, we propose a dyna...
متن کاملStabilization of Hamiltonian systems with nonholonomic constraints based on time-varying generalized canonical transformations
This paper is concerned with the stabilization of nonholonomic systems in portcontrolled Hamiltonian formulae based on time-varying generalized canonical transformations. A special class of time-varying generalized canonical transformations are introduced which modify the kinetic energy of the original system without changing the generalized Hamiltonian structure with passivity. Utilizing these...
متن کاملStabilization of Autonomous Vehicles with Nonholonomic Constraints: Open Problems and Future Directions
This position paper focuses on the problem of stabilization of underactuated and nonholonomic autonomous vehicles at a given posture. The stabilization problem for those systems represents a challenge for nonlinear control theory because the linearization of such systems is not controllable. In fact, as shown by Brockett [6], for this class of systems there does not exist a continuously differe...
متن کاملStabilizability and Motion Tracking Conditions for Mechanical Nonholonomic Control Systems
This paper addresses formulation of stabilizability and motion tracking conditions for mechanical systems from the point of view of constraints put on them. We present a new classification of constraints, which includes nonholonomic constraints that arise in both mechanics and control. Based on our classification we develop kinematic and dynamic control models of systems subjected to these cons...
متن کاملA Study on Stabilization of Nonholonomic Systems Via a Hybrid Control Method
In this paper, we consider a hybrid control strategy for stabilization of nonholonomic systems. In particular, we deal with a typical nonholonomic system, namely a two-wheeled vehicle. We first rewrite the system in a chained form, and then transform it into a nonholonomic integrator (NHI) system. Finally, we apply and modify the hybrid control method for the NHI system, so that the entire syst...
