And the sufficient condition to the existence of this approximate Jacobian matrix is given with the disturbance theory and linearization method. Since this approximate expression depends only on the configuration of the system with impulse effects, then the uniqueness of this approximate expression can be guaranteed and this approximate expression can be obtained precisely. In addition, this approximate Jacobian matrix can be used as a tool to study the asymptotical stability of the system with impulse effects. Since the biped robot gaits can be described by the nonlinear system with impulse effects, then the stability of the biped robot walking cycle can be studied with this tool. In order to study the stability, this approximate Jacobian matrix is applied to the compass-like passive biped robot gaits. It is shown that the approximate Jacobian matrix proposed in this paper is as useful as the ones proposed in the numerical methods. In the end this result is confirmed by simulations.","PeriodicalId":320560,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127522793","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}

Also, stability analysis for the designed adaptation law is studied and discussed. To evaluate the performance of designed controllers for a given system, a comprehensive simulation program is developed. One of the most important results of this study is that tracking errors for the two state variables exponentially converge to zero, even in the presence of parameters uncertainty.

The problem is to design a delay-dependent reliable guaranteed cost state feedback control law which can tolerate actuator failures, such that the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a sufficient condition for the existence of reliable guaranteed cost controllers is derived. Furthermore, a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to design the optimal reliable guaranteed cost controller which minimizes the upper bound of the closed-loop system cost.

The key issues of the physics verification module are dynamic emulation and kinematic equivalence, in which the behaviors of the space robotic system are calculated by its dynamic equations. The motion of its end-effector and the space target is realized by two industrial robots. The concept of hardware-in-the-loop simulation is used in the onboard verification module to verify the onboard computer's processing ability.
