Sequential composition for control of underactuated systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new approach to developing hybrid feedback policies for the control of systems with nonholonomic constraints. We extend the idea of sequential composition and use it to to switch between controllers in a state based manner, resulting in a globally convergent, pure feedback policy. Individual controllers in the palette are inspired by variable constraint control. We solve a vision guided unicycle navigation problem and verify the result through simulation and experiment. This technical report presents a detailed description of results published in [10].

Time-Invariant State Feedback Control Laws for a Special Form of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems Using Linear State Bisection
Linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. The specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. The basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...
متن کاملFeedback Synthesis for Controllable Underactuated Systems using Sequential Second Order Actions
This paper derives nonlinear feedback control synthesis for general control affine systems using second-order actions—the needle variations of optimal control—as the basis for choosing each control response to the current state. A second result of the paper is that the method provably exploits the nonlinear controllability of a system by virtue of an explicit dependence of the second-order need...
متن کاملControl of underactuated mechanical systems
In this report, different control techniques for underactuated systems are considered. Underactuated systems are systems that have more degrees of freedom to be controlled than independent control inputs. Several control-techniques are considered for the point-to-point control of underactuated mechanical systems. After that, a control technique is considered for tracking control of underactuate...
متن کاملNonlinear control of underactuated mechanical systems with application to robotics and aerospace vehicles
This thesis is devoted to nonlinear control, reduction, and classification of underactuated mechanical systems. Underactuated systems are mechanical control systems with fewer controls than the number of configuration variables. Control of underactuated systems is currently an active field of research due to their broad applications in Robotics, Aerospace Vehicles, and Marine Vehicles. The exam...
