Configuration Controllability of Mechanical Systems Underactuated by One Control

SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2003
The paper contains a detailed study of local configuration controllability for mechanical control systems within the affine (or linear) connection formalism. An extension of some previous results of \textit{A. W. Lewis} [Rep. Math. Phys. 42, No. 1--2, 135--164 (1998; Zbl 0976.53015)] for single-input case yields an useful characterization of local ...

Output Variables Control in Mechanical Systems

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009
Abstract Manipulator endpoint location autonomous control procedures are suggested. A method of uplimited control hierarchy has been designed, which allows to provide a desired tracking precision under conditions of uncertainty of the control object operator and the effect of external unmeasured disturbances.

Averaging and Vibrational Control of Mechanical Systems

SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2002
The author of this paper provides a systematic study of high amplitude, high frequency averaging for mechanical systems. The basis of his approach is a careful analysis of the Lie algebraic structure of mechanical systems. This structure enables closed-form expressions for the averaging analysis.

Decentralized Adaptive Control of Mechanical Systems

Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, 1995
ABSTRACTThis article presents two new adaptive schemes for the motion control of an important class of mechanical systems. The first controller possesses a decentralized structure, in which the control input for each configuration degree-of-freedom (DOF) is computed based on information concerning only that DOF, and is implementable with mechanical ...

Control of Mechanical Systems

1999
In this chapter we study applied problems of nonlinear control and pre-specified spatial motion of multi-body mechanical systems, described by using the Newton, Euler and Lagrange equations. The presentation begins with investigation of a problem of a rigid body motion that requires to maintain a given trajectory of the center-point (a mass-point ...

Constructive control of quantum-mechanical systems

Proceedings of the 40th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.01CH37228), 2002
In this paper we develop a method for exact constructive controllability of quantum mechanical systems. The method has three steps, first a path from the initial state to the final state is determined and intermediate points chosen such that any two consecutive points are close, next small sinusoidal control signals are used to drive the system between

Robust fuzzy control of mechanical systems

Proceedings of the 40th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.01CH37228), 2002
This paper considers the problem of controlling a mechanical system described by Euler-Lagrange equations to follow a desired trajectory in the presence of uncertainties. A fuzzy logic system (FLS) is used to approximate the unknown dynamics of the system. Based on the a priori information, the premise part of the FLS as well as a nominal weight matrix

Tracking control of mechanical systems with impacts

2012 American Control Conference (ACC), 2012
In this paper controllers are designed such that the state trajectories of mechanical systems with impacts converge to a reference trajectory that contains impacts. The impact times of the plant will typically not coincide with those of the reference, such that the Euclidean tracking error intrinsically behaves in an unstable manner.
