Time-Energy Optimal Control of Articulated Systems with Geometric Path Constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is presented for optimizing the motions of articulated systems along specified paths, minimizing a time-energy cost function. Using a transformation to path variables, the optimization problem is formulated in a reduced two dimensional state space. The necessary conditions for optimality, stated for the reduced problem, lead to a compact two point boundary value problem that requires the iterations of only one boundary condition. The optimal control obtained for this problem is smooth, as opposed to the typically discontinuous time optimal control. The method is demonstrated numerically for a two link planar manipulator, and experimentally for the UCLA Direct Drive Arm. The smoother time-energy optimal trajectory is shown to result in smaller tracking errors than the time optimal trajectory.

Optimal Finite-time Control of Positive Linear Discrete-time Systems
This paper considers solving optimization problem for linear discrete time systems such that closed-loop discrete-time system is positive (i.e., all of its state variables have non-negative values) and also finite-time stable. For this purpose, by considering a quadratic cost function, an optimal controller is designed such that in addition to minimizing the cost function, the positivity proper...
متن کاملOptimal Observer Path Planning For Bearings-Only Moving Targets Tracking Using Chebyshev Polynomials
In this paper, an optimization problem for the observer trajectory in the bearings-only surface moving target tracking (BOT) is studied. The BOT depends directly on the observability of the target's position in the target/observer geometry or the optimal observer maneuver. Therefore, the maximum lower band of the Fisher information matrix is opted as an independent criterion of the target estim...
