The problem presents two challenges: The first one is that when a body is exposed to a certain centrifugal force to simulate gravity force on it, the time and the magnitude of the displacement should be divided by the gravity number (N) that is being applied to get a model N times bigger; and the second one, is that the friction in the servo valves will increase, therefore, the hydraulic system will require a high bandwidth. The model is used to design two feedback control techniques: Linear Quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery (LQG-LTR) and Model Predictive Control. Simulations with the non-linear model are presented for the earthquakes of Umbria Italy in 29/04/1984, Mammoth Lakes — Aftershock USA in 26/05/1980 and Mexico in 19/09/1985. To implement the mentioned control techniques, software architecture and a “black box” model is presented which is obtained by using a closed loop algorithm (CLOE) that is used to recalculate the controllers and obtain experimental results.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124062033","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}

This control law generates formation trajectories that should follow each mobile robot to establish and maintain a specific geometry formation while the robots formation moves along a predefined trajectory. By taking advantage of the continuous and discrete dynamics of the leader-following approach, we model the formation control as a switching control. This allows any robot to be part of the formation as leader or follower any time. The control law is validated through simulation.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127703317","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}

Parametrization of the gait and a complete forward kinematic model was determined in order to find the center of mass position. The displacements the robot's center of mass during a gait will be used as a energy efficiency metric. A stability issue also will be studied, defining a stability margin for this specific gait. Travel in joint space of the actuators depending of the pipe's radius during the locomotion, will also serve as a metric of energy efficiency and at the same time, a measure of gait smoothness. Considerations for energy efficiency, stability and performance of the gait are presented.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132203092","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}
