Using the flatness of DC-Drives to emulate a generator for a decoupled MPC using a geometric approach for motion control in Robotino

Abstract

This paper proposes a controller for motion control of the Robotino. The proposed controller takes under consideration a noninteracting control strategy realized using a geometric approach and the flatness of the DC-Drives. Horizon, Vertical and Angular motions are considered and once the decoupling between these motions is obtained, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy is used in combination with a preselecting matrix. Simulation results using real data of Robotino are shown.
