The slope has a finite length and is attached at both boundaries. It is equipped with a distributed actuator subject to a saturation. By closing the loop with a saturating input proportional to the speed of the deformation, it is thus obtained a nonlinear partial differential equation, which is the generalization of the classical 1D wave equation. The well-posedness is proven by using nonlinear semigroups technics. The asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system, when the tuning parameter has a suitable sign, is proven by Lyapunov technics and a sector condition describing the saturating input.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124714444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing the natural oscillation of the elastic actuation can lead to efficient locomotion. However finding a matching combination of joint stiffness and actuator input is challenging as these robots share the properties of underactuated and hybrid dynamic systems. In this paper an optimization problem for cyclic walking of a robot with series elastic actuators is formulated and a flatness based solution method is presented. The method efficiently generates trajectories which exploit the actuator capabilities while respecting all limitations of the system. Additionally the relevant aspects of the trajectories for the design of a flexible robot are discussed.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116749278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its design is considered as a sliding mode control problem, where its structure is based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions, and its multipliers are the control inputs to be implemented by using fixed time stabilizing terms with vectorial structure, based on the unit control, instead of common terms used in other approaches. Thus, the main features of the proposed system are the fixed convergence time to the programming solution and the fixed parameters number despite of the optimization problem dimension. That is, there is a time independent to the initial conditions in which the system converges to the solution and, the proposed structure can be easily scaled from a small to a higher dimension problem. The applicability of the proposed scheme is tested on real-time optimization of an electrical Microgrid prototype.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132882411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using the desired position, the new desired link torque, as well as their derivatives the effects of nonlinear dynamics are compensated and the tracking accuracy is thereby increased. Hereby, the new desired link torque takes the whole rigid body dynamics into account, not only the friction and gravitation compensation terms. A stability analysis based on the Lyapunov theory and Barbalat's lemma is given for this new MIMO state feedback control scheme.

The set-up comprises of a fixed number of agents, each of which can pick an action and receive/measure a private utility function that can depend on the collective actions taken by all agents. The exact functional form (or model) of the agent utility functions is unknown, and an agent can only measure the numeric value of its utility. The objective of the multi-agent system is to optimize the welfare function (i.e. sum of the individual utility functions). A model-free, distributed, on-line learning algorithm is developed that achieves this objective. The proposed solution requires information exchange between the agents over an undirected, connected communication graph, and is based on ideas from extremum seeking control. A result on local convergence of the proposed algorithm to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of a local minimizer of the welfare function is proved. Application of the solution to distributed control of wind turbines for maximizing wind farm-level power capture is explored via numerical simulations. Also included is a novel analysis of a dynamic average consensus algorithm that may be of independent interest.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115736783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
