Energy Shaping Control for a Class of Underactuated Euler-Lagrange Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new energy shaping control design for a class of underactuated Euler-Lagrange systems. Flexible joint robots, Series Elastic Actuators, and Variable Impedance Actuated Robots Albu-Schäffer et al. [2008] belong for example to this class. First, classical PD control with feed-forward compensation is revisited and a novel, straight-forward and general formulation for the stability analysis is given. Lower bound conditions for the gains of this controller motivate the introduction of the new approach, which generalizes results from Albu-Schäffer et al. [2007], Ch. Ott et al. [2008]. For shaping the potential energy, feedback variables based on the collocated states are introduced, which are statically equivalent to the noncollocated state variables. In this way the passivity is ensured while exactly satisfying steady state requirements formulated in terms of the noncollocated states (such as desired equilibrium configuration and desired stiffness). Using the passivity property, a Lyapunov based analysis can be easily carried out for arbitrarily low feedback gains. The controller is augmented by noncollocated feedback to shape the kinetic energy. Experimental results for a Variable Stiffness Robot Grebenstein et al. [2011] validate the proposed controller.

Interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control of port-controlled Hamiltonian systems
Passivity-based control (PBC) is a well-established technique that has shown to be very powerful to design robust controllers for physical systems described by Euler–Lagrange (EL) equations of motion. For regulation problems of mechanical systems, which can be stabilized “shaping” only the potential energy, PBC preserves the EL structure and furthermore assigns a closed-loop energy function equ...

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for Lyapunov stabilizability and exponential stabilizability by the energy shaping method for the class of all linear controlled Lagrangian systems of an arbitrary degree of under-actuation, and for the class of all controlled Lagrangian systems of one degree of under-actuation. We give a sufficient condition for asymptotic stabilizability for the ...

We develop a method for the stabilization of mechanical systems with symmetry based on the technique of controlled Lagrangians. The procedure involves making structured modifications to the Lagrangian for the uncontrolled system, thereby constructing the controlled Lagrangian. The Euler–Lagrange equations derived from the controlled Lagrangian describe the closed-loop system, where new terms in...
