Passivity-Based Control and Estimation in Networked Robotics

Part of the book series: Communications and Control Engineering ((CCE))

Abstract

This chapter provides foundations not only for bilateral teleoperation but also for all of the subsequent chapters. Passivity, stability of dynamical systems, and several passivity-based motion control schemes are introduced.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Throughout this book, the notation \(\Vert x\Vert \) for a vector \(x\) describes the vector \(2\)-norm \(\Vert x\Vert = \sqrt{x^Tx}\) unless otherwise noted.

  2. 2.

    See [159] for the details on the existence and uniqueness of the solution.

  3. 3.

    A function \(S(x): {\mathbb R}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) is said to be positive definite if \(S(0) = 0\) and \(S(x) > 0\ {\forall x}\ne 0\). It is positive semidefinite if \(S(0) = 0\) and \(S(x) \ge 0\ {\forall x}\ne 0\) hold. Also, if \(-S\) is positive definite (semidefinite), then \(S\) is said to be negative definite (semidefinite).

  4. 4.

    A map \(H: {\mathcal U} \rightarrow {\mathcal Y}\) is said to be causal if the output \((H(u))(\tau )\) at any time \(\tau \in {\mathbb R}_+\) is dependent only on the past and current profile of input \(u(t),\ t \le \tau \). See [318] for its formal definition.

  5. 5.

    A matrix \(A \in {\mathbb R}^{n \times n}\) is said to be skew symmetric if \(A + A^T = 0\).

  6. 6.

    The robot actually has one more degree of freedom.

  7. 7.

    A matrix \(A \in {\mathbb R}^{n \times n}\) is said to be positive definite if it is symmetric (\(A = A^T\)) and \(x^T A x > 0 \ \forall x \ne 0\).

  8. 8.

    The notation \(e \equiv 0\) for any signal \(e\) means \(e(t) = 0\ \ {\forall t}\in {\mathbb R}_+\).
