Abstract
This work proposes a formulation for the moving horizon estimation technique considering both states and parameters obtained simultaneously with reduced estimation issues. The parameters can be either constant or time-varying, while states are related to complex output trajectories related to underactuated systems. Particularly, the proposed formulation considers additional equality constraints as a counterpart of the dynamics tube-MPC. Thus, it becomes less dependent on probabilistic information, such as probability density function and covariance of the process noise. In addition, the calibration of the method parameters has less sensitivity and driven by the tube constraints. The proposed approach can be applied in different systems; however, here it is detailed for a class of soft continuum manipulators with fluidic actuation through a variable flow rate and demonstrated with numerical simulations in planar motion. Results indicate robustness of the algorithm estimation in a challenging scenario arising from underactuation as well as in the presence of uncertainty and external disturbance, while simultaneously states and a vector of structural parameters are coherently estimated.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics is to provide a medium for rapid dissemination of original research results in theoretical as well as applied computational and nonlinear dynamics. The journal serves as a forum for the exchange of new ideas and applications in computational, rigid and flexible multi-body system dynamics and all aspects (analytical, numerical, and experimental) of dynamics associated with nonlinear systems. The broad scope of the journal encompasses all computational and nonlinear problems occurring in aeronautical, biological, electrical, mechanical, physical, and structural systems.
