Motion Primitives for Stabilization and Control of Underactuated Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we construct motion primitives as algorithm building blocks for stabilization and control of a class of underactuated systems that includes spacecraft, submersibles and planar vehicles. The underactuated systems are modelled as Lagrangian systems on Lie groups; thus, they are systems with drift and with accessibility distributions described by the operation of Lie bracket and symmetric product. Directions of motion that are not directly actuated are identified with symmetric products of the input vector fields, and in-phase sinusoidal forcing is used in the primitives to generate motion in these directions. These primitives can then be used for a variety of low velocity maneuvers. For example, we demonstrate their use for exponential point stabilization and for static interpolation. We evaluate our algorithms and investigate the advantage of planning motions along relative equilibria.

We propose a practical maneuvering control strategy for an aquatic vehicle (AV) that uses an oscillating foil as a propulsor. The challenge of this problem lies in the need to consider the hydrodynamic interaction as well as the underactuated and non-minimum phase natures of the AV system. The control task is decomposed into the off-line step of motion planning and the on-line step of feedback ...

This paper deal with planar motion control of multiple underactuated Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) based on merging of Fuzzy/Lyapunov and kinetic controllers. A cooperative algorithm based on a decentralized planning algorithm which considers the underwater vehicles in an initial open chain configuration is developed. All the planned trajectories are intersections-free, and each trajectory ...
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 کاملStabilization of a class of underactuated vehicles with uncertain position measurements and application to visual servoing
Stabilization of a class of underactuated vehicles with uncertain measurements of the position tracking error is addressed. Nonlinear feedback laws ensuring semi-global stability for a large class of uncertainties on these measurements are derived based on properties of saturated controls. Practical relevance of the proposed results is illustrated by two application examples for Vertical Take-O...
