This paper presents a data-based approach to control robotic systems with partially-observed feedback. First, an open-loop optimization problem is solved to generate the nominal trajectory and then a linear time-varying Autoregressive–Moving-Average (ARMA) model of the system is calculated along the…
Mechanics and control of innovative gyroscopic structural systems are detailed in the paper. By adding controllable spinning wheels to a network of controllable, axially loaded strings and bars, it is shown that the mobility and manipulation of the structural system are enhanced. Using principles of
This letter proposes two approaches to control the shape of the structure or the position of the end effector for a soft-robotic application. The first approach is a model-based approach where the non-linear dynamics of the tensegrity system is used to regulate position, velocity and acceleration to
Feedback control problems pertaining to the control of tensegrity robotic systems are detailed in this paper. The unique problems that arise due to the positivity of the string tensions required to maintain the static stability and desirable stiffness of the structural system are shown to bring abou…
