Special attention is paid to the difference-differential hybrid systems in symmetric form. For solutions of such systems, a variation-of-constants formula is proposed and the relative controllability-observability principle is established. For stationary systems, we introduce the determining equations and present solutions in the form of series of their determining equation solutions. Then algebraic properties of solutions of determining equation are investigated, in particular, the well-known Hamilton-Cayley matrix theorem is extended to the solutions of the system of determining equations. As a result, parametric criteria for the relative controllability and relative observability are given.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.

Main advantages of this solution are simplicity, compactness and lightness of the construction. The POLMAN design provides a systematic approach to the development of modular parallel robotic systems which can be configured into a wide variety of different forms for different applications.

Namely, the robot drives constraints are accounted for (bounded maximal torques and rotation speed limits in joint-gears) and the velocity along the path is constant. However the goal of robot control is to minimise the trajectory cycle-time. Solution to the problem results in a two-stage path design procedure. The trajectory generation algorithm is based on the known manipulator models (kinematical and dynamical). The modelling errors while trajectory tracking are controlled with the decoupled linear PD controllers of the robot-axes. The overall system including the path and trajectory planner has been simulated in order to study the role of particular constraints and to evaluate the performance of the system.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.

The usual control methods of the underactuated manipulators are based on the feedback of states of not only active link but also unactuated link. On the other hand, the proposed method does not require the information with respect to the motion of the unactuated link and not utilize the state feedback control of the unactuated link. The various bifurcation phenomena are emerged in the unactuated link by high-frequency excitation of the actuated first link. By using the nonlinear characteristics it is carried out to swing up to the upright position which is statically unstable and to stabilize the position. Experimental results indicate the validity of the proposed method for the underactuated manipulator.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.

Moreover, one of the most popular paradigms in robotics, the behavior-based control, despite of its ability to provide architectural transparency and intuitive means of describing the behaviors of robots, does not allow us to predict final quality and performance of the system. To increase safety of robots and the sustainment of their operations, for example, we can consider all the potential of sensors. In this paper we present current state of our multi-agent architecture, exhibiting their reactive properties. We present a simple trap recovery behavior, which can be executed by robots in a case of abnormal situations, e.g. hardware malfunction. On the other hand, we specify a multi-robot construction domain, which will serve as a scalable testbed for our control strategy.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.

The first order systems are systems where the input vector fields and the first level of Lie brackets between them span the tangent space of the state space. We derive a discontinuous state feedback law for the systems by extending Lyapunov control. The input vector is constructed by multiplying the gradient vector of a Lyapunov function by a matrix which is composed of a negative definite symmetric one and a skew-symmetric one. The designed controller makes the desired point the only stable equilibrium point, and the controlled system converges to the desired point from almost all initial points. The proposed controller is applied to two examples of first order systems, a two wheeled vehicle and a spacecraft composed of two rigid bodies.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.
