This paper investigates manipulability of interactive Lagrangian systems with parametric uncertainty and communication/sensing constraints. Two standard examples are teleoperation with a master-slave system and teaching operation of robots. We here systematically formulate the concept of infinite manipulability for general dynamical systems, and investigate how such a unified motivation yields a design paradigm towards guaranteeing the infinite manipulability of interactive dynamical systems and in particular facilitates the design and analysis of nonlinear adaptive controllers for interactive Lagrangian systems. Specifically, based on a new class of dynamic feedback, we propose adaptive controllers that achieve both the infinite manipulability of the controlled Lagrangian systems and the robustness with respect to the communication/sensing constraints, mainly owing to the resultant dynamic-cascade framework. The proposed paradigm yields the desirable balance between network coupling requirements and controlled dynamics of human-system interaction. We also show that a special case of our main result resolves the longstanding nonlinear bilateral teleoperation problem with arbitrary unknown time-varying delay. Simulation results show the performance of the interactive robotic systems under the proposed adaptive controllers.

In this paper, we investigate the task-space consensus problem for multiple robotic systems with both the uncertain kinematics and dynamics and address two main issues, i.e., the separation of the kinematic and dynamic loops in the case of no task-space velocity measurement and the quantification of the manipulability of the system. We propose an observer-based adaptive controller to achieve the manipulable consensus without relying on the measurement of task-space velocities, and also formalize the concept of manipulability to quantify the degree of adjustability of the consensus value. The proposed adaptive controller employs a new distributed observer that does not rely on the joint velocity and a new kinematic parameter adaptation law with a distributed adaptive kinematic regressor matrix that is driven by both the observation and consensus errors. In addition, it is shown that the proposed controller has the separation property, which yields an adaptive kinematic controller that is applicable to most industrial/commercial robots. The performance of the proposed observer-based adaptive schemes is shown by numerical simulations.
In this paper, we investigate the adaptive control problem for robot manipulators with both the uncertain kinematics and dynamics. We propose two adaptive control schemes to realize the objective of task-space trajectory tracking irrespective of the uncertain kinematics and dynamics. The proposed controllers have the desirable separation property, and we also show that the first adaptive controller with appropriate modifications can yield improved performance, without the expense of conservative gain choice. The performance of the proposed controllers is shown by numerical simulations.
This paper introduces a family of iterative algorithms for unconstrained nonlinear optimal control. We generalize the well-known iLQR algorithm to different multiple-shooting variants, combining advantages like straight-forward initialization and a closed-loop forward integration. All algorithms have similar computational complexity, i.e. linear complexity in the time horizon, and can be derived in the same computational framework. We compare the full-step variants of our algorithms and present several simulation examples, including a high-dimensional underactuated robot subject to contact switches. Simulation results show that our multiple-shooting algorithms can achieve faster convergence, better local contraction rates and much shorter runtimes than classical iLQR, which makes them a superior choice for nonlinear model predictive control applications.
This paper investigates the consensus problem of multiple uncertain Lagrangian systems. Due to the discontinuity resulted from the switching topology, achieving consensus in the context of uncertain Lagrangian systems is challenging. We propose a new adaptive controller based on dynamic feedback to resolve this problem and additionally propose a new analysis tool for rigorously demonstrating the stability and convergence of the networked systems. The new introduced analysis tool is referred to as uniform integral-L_p stability, which is motivated for addressing integral-input-output properties of linear time-varying systems. It is then shown that the consensus errors between the systems converge to zero so long as the union of the graphs contains a directed spanning tree. It is also shown that the proposed controller enjoys the robustness with respect to constant communication delays. The performance of the proposed adaptive controllers is shown by numerical simulations.
This paper presents two control algorithms enabling a UAV to circumnavigate an unknown target using range and range rate (i.e., the derivative of range) measurements. Given a prescribed orbit radius, both control algorithms (i) tend to drive the UAV toward the tangent of prescribed orbit when the UAV is outside or on the orbit, and (ii) apply zero control input if the UAV is inside the desired orbit. The algorithms differ in that, the first algorithm is smooth and unsaturated while the second algorithm is non-smooth and saturated. By analyzing properties associated with the bearing angle of the UAV relative to the target and through proper design of Lyapunov functions, it is shown that both algorithms produce the desired orbit for an arbitrary initial state. Three examples are provided as a proof of concept.
