We built a small mobile machine which has two legs made of bimorph piezoelectric actuators. It proceeds by vibrating one leg and making selective use of the friction between the legs and the floor. Simulations were made to investigate the dynamics of its mobility using different friction models. The simulation results were compared with the movement of the machine measured using an accelerometer, which showed that the viscous friction model explains the movement better than the Coulomb friction model. Four-legged machines were also built and tested for multidimensional mobility.","PeriodicalId":360541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control - AMC '96 - MIE","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125777650","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}

Introducing the augmented state variable filters of an input, an output and an auxiliary input and taking an advantage of the doubly coprime factorization associated with the system transfer matrix, an adaptive state feedback control scheme is proposed that drives these augmented state variables to the subspace defined by the intersection of the two sliding hyperplanes on which the state variables decay to the origin exponentially quickly. The global asymptotic stability of the proposed adaptive regulator is established under the assumption that the upper bound of the controllability index is known.","PeriodicalId":360541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control - AMC '96 - MIE","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130580271","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}

Though this robot has only one degree of freedom to change the body's structure, it can run on four wheels (4-wheeled mode) or on two wheels like a wheeled inverted pendulum (2-wheeled mode). For the realization of stepping up and down, we already proposed a method by combining the transfer from 4- to 2-wheeled mode and the transfer from 2- to 4-wheeled mode and realized an experiment of passing over a step whose height is larger than the radius of the wheel successfully. In this paper, we propose two dynamic trajectory control methods to make the passing over a step speedy. First, we have divided the whole sequence of stepping up or down into two sequences and extended the planning of soft-landing trajectory which we already proposed in the transfer from 2-to 4-wheeled mode to cover each sequence. As a result, we have successfully realized an experiment of stepping up or down of this robot in about 15 seconds. Second, using the same trajectory planning method to cover the exchange of the contacting wheel from rear to front, we have planned a continuous trajectory throughout stepping up or down. As the result we have successfully realized an experiment of the stepping up or down of this robot in only 2.4 seconds.","PeriodicalId":360541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control - AMC '96 - MIE","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126402889","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}

The main nonlinearities are due to stiction and friction in the servomotor which moves the beam, the main uncertainties are due to the ball size variations. The beam position is perturbed by external disturbances acting on the beam. The proposed robust control strategy compensates the static friction by acting on the supply voltage of the motor, makes the behavior of the beam almost independent of the ball size variation, makes the system behavior insensible to external disturbance by the online compensation of their estimated value. Simulation and experimental tests confirm the validity of this approach.","PeriodicalId":360541,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 4th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control - AMC '96 - MIE","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115770791","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}

The induction motor used in the electric vehicles has been generally controlled based on the vector control method to obtain good dynamic torque response. A new discrete-time control algorithm has been developed by combining variable structure system (VSS) and Lyapunov design. It possesses all the good properties of the sliding mode control and avoids the unnecessary discontinuity of the control input, thus eliminating chattering which has been considered as a serious obstacle for applications of VSS. A unified control approach for the stator currents and torque control based on the discrete-time sliding mode for application in indirect vector control for an IM drive is developed.
