TRAJECTORY PLANNING OF A PENDULUM-DRIVEN UNDERACTUATED CAR
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 3
Abstract
The control problem of the pendulum-driven cart has been well studied in several literatures. The challenge issue of control of such underactuated systems is to control the motions of the pendulum and the cart by applying only one control input. However, most literatures focused on addressing the dynamic modeling and the tracking control design. Few papers have considered the trajectory planning of the system which is still an open issue. This paper studies the optimization for the trajectory planning of the system by considering three questions: 1) the furthest cart displacement; 2) the fastest average cart speed; 3) the most efficient power consumption. The paper systematically studies the system dynamics, the system constraints, the tracking control method, some initializations for the optimization problems, and the solutions for the three optimal questions. Extensive simulation studies are given to identify the optimum trajectories of the system.

CALCULUS OF THE TORSOR OF INERTIA FORCES FOR A RIGID SOLID BODY IN GENERAL MOTION
The calculus of the torsor of the inertia forces for a rigid solid body in general motion is a very important matter for its next dynamic study. In other words if we aim to perform the dynamic survey of a rigid solid bod...
HUNTING MOTION OF THE HIGH SPEED RAILWAY BOGIES WITH INTERCONNECTION AXLES
The axle hunting is a coupled lateral and yaw self-oscillatory motion which is largely determined by wheel-rail contact geometry. The stability of this motion is an important dynamic problem that determines the maximum o...

Surgical Robotics today is essentially about two families of devices, namely telemanipulators and simulators for mini-invasive (endoscopic) procedures. In both cases, the user-interface, i.e. the “joystick” to be manipul...
