ADAPTIVE REGULATION OF HIGH ORDER NONHOLONOMIC SYSTEMS

The problem of adaptive regulation of a class of high-order parametric non holonomic systems in chained-form was discussed. Using adding a power integrator technique and state scaling with discontinuous projection technique, a discontinuous adaptive dynamic controller was constructed. The controller guarantees the estimated value of unknown parameter is in the prescribed extent.

时变通信延迟下的无人机编队鲁棒自适应控制

在时变通信延迟下研究了无人机群编队的鲁棒自适应控制问题。对于无人机编队系统中存在外部扰动和模型不确定性的情况,通过选取包含位置跟踪误差和速度跟踪误差的辅助变量,提出了一种适用于时变通信延迟的鲁棒自适应编队控制策略。提出了自适应律对无人机质量、外界扰动的上界等未知参数进行估计,并且利用Lyapunov稳定性理论分析了闭环系统的渐近稳定性,给出了系统渐近稳定所需要满足的条件。数值仿真结果表明,所提出的控制方法既能抑制外界扰动和模型不确定性对控制器的影响,同时队形跟踪和队形保持的稳态误差分别小于0.1 m和0.05 m。

On the stability of equilibria of nonholonomic systems with nonlinear constraints

Lyapunov＇s first method, extended by V. V. Kozlov to nonlinear mechani- cal systems, is applied to the study of the instability of the position of equilibrium of a mechanical system moving in the field of conservative and dissipative forces. The mo- tion of the system is limited by ideal nonlinear nonholonomic constraints. Five cases determined by the relationship between the degree of the first nontrivial polynomials in Maclaurin＇s series for the potential energy and the functions that can be generated from the equations of nonlinear nonholonomic constraints are analyzed. In the three eases, the theorem on the instability of the position of equilibrium of nonholonomic systems with linear homogeneous constraints （V. V. Kozlov （1986）） is generalized to the case of nonlin- ear nonhomogeneous constraints. In the other two cases, new theorems are set extending the result from V. V. Kozlov （1994） to nonholonomic systems with nonlinear constraints.

研究带有非完整约束的一类多体系统运动规划问题。多体系统中的非完整约束通常是由不可积的速度约束或不可积的守恒律引起。在系统动量和动量矩守恒情况下,动力学方程降阶为非完整形式约束方程,系统的控制问题可转化为无漂移系统的非完整运动规划问题。文中首先导出具有多体开链系统的非完整运动模型。利用最优控制理论和最优化技术,采用输入参数化的方法将连续的最优控制问题转化为离散的最优控制问题,提出一种非完整多体系统运动规划的拟牛顿算法。最后将该方法用于自由漂浮的空间三连杆机构,仿真结果验证了该方法的有效性。     

Optimal control of nonholonomic motion planning for a flee-falling cat

The nonholonomic motion phnning of a free-falling cat is investigated.Nonholonomicity arises in a free-falling cat subject to nonintegrable angle velocity constraints or nonintegrable conservation laws.When the total angular momentum is zero,the motion equation of a free-falling cat is established based on the model of two symmetric rigid bodies and conservation of angular momentum.The control of system can be converted to the problem of nonholonomic motion planning for a free-falling cat.Based on Ritz approximation theory,the Gauss-Newton method for motion planning by a falling cat is proposed.The effectiveness of the numerical algorithm is demonstrated through simulation on model of a free-falling cat.

In this paper,Routh’s equations for the mechanical systems of the variable masswith nonlinear nonholonomic constraints of arbitrary orders in a noninertial referencesystem have been deduced not from any variational principles,but from the dynamicalequations of Newtonian mechanics.And then again the other forms of equations fornonholonomic systems of variable mass are obtained from Routh’s equations.     

Optimal control of nonholonomic motion planning for a free-falling cat

The nonholonomic motion planning of a free-falling cat is investigated. Non-holonomicity arises in a free-falling cat subject to nonintegrable angle velocity constraints or nonintegrable conservation laws. When the total angular momentum is zero, the motion equation of a free-falling cat is established based on the model of two symmetric rigid bodies and conservation of angular momentum. The control of system can be converted to the problem of nonholonomic motion planning for a free-falling cat. Based on Ritz approximation theory, the Gauss-Newton method for motion planning by a falling cat is proposed. The effectiveness of the numerical algorithm is demonstrated through simulation on model of a free-falling cat.

Instability of equilibrium of nonholonomic systems with dissipation and circulatory forces

The paper discusses the equilibrium instability problem of the scleronomic nonholonomic systems acted upon by dissipative, conservative, and circulatory forces. The method is based on the existence of solutions to the differential equations of the motion which asymptotically tends to the equilibrium state of the system as t tends to negative infinity. It is assumed that the kinetic energy, the Rayleigh dissipation function, and the positional forces in the neighborhood of the equilibrium position are infinitely differentiable functions. The results obtained here are partially generalized the results obtained by Kozlov et al. (Kozlov, V. V. The asymptotic motions of systems with dissipation. Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 58^(5), 787–792 (1994). Merkin, D. R. Introduction to the Theory of the Stability of Motion (in Russian), Nauka, Moscow (1987). Thomson, W. and Tait, P. Treatise on Natural Philosophy, Part I, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (1879)). The results are illustrated by an example.
