Iterative design of time-varying stabilizers for multi-input systems in chained form

This paper proposes an alternative solution to the global stabilization of nonholonomic multi-input chained form systems investigated in recent contributions [13, 18]. A systematic design, which is reminiscent of integrator backstepping methods, is presented to generate a new class of smooth time-varying dynamic stabilizers. The proof of stability is straightforward and the algorithm finds its application in adaptive control of nonholonomic systems and tracking control of mobile robot.     

Finite‐time tracking control of uncertain nonholonomic systems by state and output feedback

This paper studies the finite‐time tracking control of nonholonomic systems in chained form with parameter uncertainties, unknown output gains, and mismatched uncertainties. To achieve the finite‐time tracking control of uncertain nonholonomic systems, we propose 2 types of controllers by state and output feedback, respectively. Both of the proposed 2 types of controllers can achieve the finite‐time output tracking control of the nonholonomic systems even in the presence of mismatched uncertainties and/or unknown gains. The effectiveness of our proposed controllers are illustrated with simulation examples.

Control of high-order nonholonomic systems in power chained formusing discontinuous feedback

Addresses the problems of almost-asymptotic stabilization and global asymptotic regulation (GAR) for a class of high-order nonholonomic systems in power-chained form. This particular class of nonlinear systems is an extension of a nonholonomic system in chained form that has received considerable attention in the past few years. The nonholonomic system considered in this paper is not necessarily affine in the control variables and therefore cannot be handled by existing methods. Sufficient conditions are presented under which a discontinuous state-feedback control law (or a switching controller) can be recursively constructed, using the so-called "adding a power integrator" technique of C. Qian et al. (2001). We also illustrate how the results can be extend to multi-input systems in power-chained form. Simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers     

一类非完整系统的全局镇定

当非完整系统只能局部转换为链式形式时, 由于存在变换奇异点集合, 针对链式系统所设计的全局反馈控制律只能局部镇定原非完整系统, 而且当期望状态接近奇异点时, 闭环系统的吸引区很小. 本文针对一类可局部转换为链式系统的非完整系统, 首先利用吸引区是状态空间中的一个不变集且与变换奇异点集不相交的条件导出了一个吸引区的不变子集, 然后给出了将系统状态从任意点驱动到吸引区不变子集内的开环控制算法, 最后结合开环控制和闭环控制得到一种混合控制算法. 该混合控制算法可以保证任意不在变换奇异点集合内的期望状态是全局渐近稳定的. 对平面两转动关节空间机器人的仿真结果证实了算法的有效性.     

非完整链式系统的输出跟踪控制 ——动态扩展线性化方法1)

Tracking control of nonholonomic single and multi-chained systems is investigated in this paper.It is shown that the nonholonomic chained systems can be completely linearized by dynamic feedback linearization if the proper output variables are chosen and certain conditions are satisfied,and linear tracking controllers can then be designed for the resulted linearized systems.As an example,a moving cart is simulated to verify the proposed strategy.     

Global 𝒦-exponential trackers for nonholonomic chained-form systems based on LMI

Global 𝒦-exponential controllers are constructed for the tracking control problem of nonholonomic systems in chained form. Compared to previously published papers, a difference is that the reference targets are allowed to converge to a point exponentially. By using a novel transformation and the cascade-design method, the tracking control problem is converted into a stabilisation problem composed of two simple subsystems. Then the LMI-design approach is developed for the stabilising one of the above two subsystems. Assumptions on the reference signal is much more relaxed than our previous papers. A peculiar character of the presented methodology is that global 𝒦-exponential tracking can be successfully obtained for nonholonomic chained-form systems without the popular condition of persistent excitation or not converging to zero. Simulation results on a unicycle mobile robot and an articulated vehicle are presented to show the validity of the proposed strategy.

Underactuated ship tracking control: Theory and experiments

We consider complete state tracking feedback control of a ship having two controls, namely surge force and yaw moment. The ship model has similarities with chained form systems but cannot directly be transformed in chained form. In particular, the model has a drift vector field as opposed to the drift-free chained form systems. It is shown here that methods developed for tracking control of chained form systems still can be used for developing a tracking control law for the ship. Through a coordinate transformation the model is put in a triangular-like form which makes it possible to use integrator backstepping to develop a tracking control law. The control law steers both the position variables and the course angle of the ship, providing exponential stability of the reference trajectory. Experimental results are presented where the control law is implemented for tracking control of a model of an offshore supply vessel, scale 1:70. In the experiments the ship converges exponentially to a neighbourhood of the reference trajectory, and stays close with errors depending on factors as unmodelled dynamics, parameter uncertainty, measurement noise, thruster saturation, waves, currents and position measurement failures.     

Robust adaptive control of uncertain force/motion constrained nonholonomic mobile manipulators

In this paper, force/motion tracking control is investigated for nonholonomic mobile manipulators with unknown parameters and disturbances under uncertain holonomic constraints. The nonholonomic mobile manipulator is transformed into a reduced chained form, and then, robust adaptive force/motion control with hybrid variable signals is proposed to compensate for parametric uncertainties and suppress bounded disturbances. The control scheme guarantees that the outputs of the dynamic system track some bounded auxiliary signals, which subsequently drive the kinematic system to the desired trajectory/force. Simulation studies on the control of a wheeled mobile manipulator are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Control design for chained-form systems with bounded inputs

Discontinuous, time-invariant controllers have been recently proposed in the literature as an alternative method to stabilize nonholonomic systems. These control laws are not continuous at the origin and although they provide exponential rates of convergence, they may use significant amount of control effort, especially if the initial conditions are close to an equilibrium manifold. We seek to remedy this situation by constructing bounded controllers (with exponential convergence rates) for nonholonomic systems in chained form.     

Stabilization of second-order nonholonomic systems in canonical chained form

Stabilization of a class of second-order nonholonomic systems in canonical chained form is investigated in this paper. First, the models of two typical second-order nonholonomic systems, namely, a three-link planar manipulator with the third joint unactuated, and a kinematic redundant manipulator with all joints free and driven by forces/torques imposing on the end-effector, are presented and converted to second-order chained form by transformations of coordinate and input. A discontinuous control law is then proposed to stabilize all states of the system to the desired equilibrium point exponentially. Computer simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.     

Distributed tracking control of networked chained systems

This paper considers distributed tracking control of multiple nonholonomic chained systems using neighbours’ information. With the aid of the cascade structure of each system and properties of persistently excited signals, distributed state feedback tracking controllers and distributed output feedback tracking controllers are proposed such that the tracking errors exponentially converge to zero. To show applications of the proposed results, formation control of wheeled mobile robots is considered. Distributed controllers are obtained with the aid of the proposed theorems. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Semiglobal practical stabilization of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots with saturated inputs

In the practical design of nonholonomic control systems, saturated input is an important issue to consider. A number of stabilizing controllers for chained forms with bounded inputs have been proposed by different researchers. Under some conditions, nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots (NWMR) can be transformed into chained forms by state and input transformations. In this paper, we propose semiglobal practical stabilizing control schemes for a class of NWMR with saturated inputs. These schemes are given not based on chained forms, but based on a kind of new systems which are converted from NWMR by using state transformations without any input transformation. The advantage for doing this is involved in two points: first, the stabilizers proposed are semiglobal. Second, for the methods exploited here, the original system inputs (in the sense of kinematics) can be guaranteed to stay within the desired upper bounds. Finally, the simulation is given.     

Variable structure exponential stabilization of chained systems based on the extended nonholonomic integrator

In this paper, a new variable structure control strategy for exponentially stabilizing chained systems is presented based on the extended nonholonomic integrator model, the discontinuous coordinate transformation and the “reaching law method” in variable structure control design. The proposed approach converts the stabilization problem of an n-dimensional chained system into the pole-assignment problem of an (n−3)-dimensional linear time-invariant system and consequently simplifies the stabilization controller design of nonholonomic chained systems.
