This paper presents an offset-free model predictive controller for fast and accurate control of a spherical soft robotic arm. In this control scheme, a linear model is combined with an online disturbance estimation technique to systematically compensate model deviations. Dynamic effects such as material relaxation resulting from the use of soft materials can be addressed to achieve offset-free tracking. The tracking error can be reduced by 35% when compared to a standard model predictive controller without a disturbance compensation scheme. The improved tracking performance enables the realization of a ball catching application, where the spherical soft robotic arm can catch a ball thrown by a human.

Soft robots promise improved safety and capability over rigid robots when deployed in complex, delicate, and dynamic environments. However, the infinite degrees of freedom and highly nonlinear dynamics of these systems severely complicate their model
ing and control. As a step toward addressing this open challenge, we apply the data-driven, Hankel Dynamic Mode Decomposition (HDMD) with time delay observables to the model identification of a highly inertial, helical soft robotic arm with a high number of underactuated degrees of freedom. The resulting model is linear and hence amenable to control via a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). Using our test bed device, a dynamic, lightweight pneumatic fabric arm with an inertial mass at the tip, we show that the combination of HDMD and LQR allows us to command our robot to achieve arbitrary poses using only open loop control. We further show that Koopman spectral analysis gives us a dimensionally reduced basis of modes which decreases computational complexity without sacrificing predictive power.
This paper presents an application of the energy shaping methodology to control a flexible, elastic Cosserat rod model of a single octopus arm. The novel contributions of this work are two-fold: (i) a control-oriented modeling of the anatomically rea
listic internal muscular architecture of an octopus arm; and (ii) the integration of these muscle models into the energy shaping control methodology. The control-oriented modeling takes inspiration in equal parts from theories of nonlinear elasticity and energy shaping control. By introducing a stored energy function for muscles, the difficulties associated with explicitly solving the matching conditions of the energy shaping methodology are avoided. The overall control design problem is posed as a bilevel optimization problem. Its solution is obtained through iterative algorithms. The methodology is numerically implemented and demonstrated in a full-scale dynamic simulation environment Elastica. Two bio-inspired numerical experiments involving the control of octopus arms are reported.
Re-planning in legged locomotion is crucial to track the desired user velocity while adapting to the terrain and rejecting external disturbances. In this work, we propose and test in experiments a real-time Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) t
ailored to a legged robot for achieving dynamic locomotion on a variety of terrains. We introduce a mobility-based criterion to define an NMPC cost that enhances the locomotion of quadruped robots while maximizing leg mobility and improves adaptation to the terrain features. Our NMPC is based on the real-time iteration scheme that allows us to re-plan online at $25,mathrm{Hz}$ with a prediction horizon of $2$ seconds. We use the single rigid body dynamic model defined in the center of mass frame in order to increase the computational efficiency. In simulations, the NMPC is tested to traverse a set of pallets of different sizes, to walk into a V-shaped chimney, and to locomote over rough terrain. In real experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our NMPC with the mobility feature that allowed IITs $87, mathrm{kg}$ quadruped robot HyQ to achieve an omni-directional walk on flat terrain, to traverse a static pallet, and to adapt to a repositioned pallet during a walk.
We present a general approach for controlling robotic systems that make and break contact with their environments: linear contact-implicit model-predictive control (LCI-MPC). Our use of differentiable contact dynamics provides a natural extension of
linear model-predictive control to contact-rich settings. The policy leverages precomputed linearizations about a reference state or trajectory while contact modes, encoded via complementarity constraints, are explicitly retained, resulting in policies that can be efficiently evaluated while maintaining robustness to changes in contact timings. In many cases, the algorithm is even capable of generating entirely new contact sequences. To enable real-time performance, we devise a custom structure-exploiting linear solver for the contact dynamics. We demonstrate that the policy can respond to disturbances by discovering and exploiting new contact modes and is robust to model mismatch and unmodeled environments for a collection of simulated robotic systems, including: pushbot, hopper, quadruped, and biped.
Existing studies for environment interaction with an aerial robot have been focused on interaction with static surroundings. However, to fully explore the concept of an aerial manipulation, interaction with moving structures should also be considered
. In this paper, a multirotor-based aerial manipulator opening a daily-life moving structure, a hinged door, is presented. In order to address the constrained motion of the structure and to avoid collisions during operation, model predictive control (MPC) is applied to the derived coupled system dynamics between the aerial manipulator and the door involving state constraints. By implementing a constrained version of differential dynamic programming (DDP), MPC can generate position setpoints to the disturbance observer (DOB)-based robust controller in real-time, which is validated by our experimental results.
