  • Control in Robotics
    Control in Robotics Mark W. Spong and Masayuki Fujita Introduction The interplay between robotics and control theory has a rich history extending back over half a century. We begin this section of the report by briefly reviewing the history of this interplay, focusing on fundamentals—how control theory has enabled solutions to fundamental problems in robotics and how problems in robotics have motivated the development of new control theory. We focus primarily on the early years, as the importance of new results often takes considerable time to be fully appreciated and to have an impact on practical applications. Progress in robotics has been especially rapid in the last decade or two, and the future continues to look bright. Robotics was dominated early on by the machine tool industry. As such, the early philosophy in the design of robots was to design mechanisms to be as stiff as possible with each axis (joint) controlled independently as a single-input/single-output (SISO) linear system. Point-to-point control enabled simple tasks such as materials transfer and spot welding. Continuous-path tracking enabled more complex tasks such as arc welding and spray painting. Sensing of the external environment was limited or nonexistent. Consideration of more advanced tasks such as assembly required regulation of contact forces and moments. Higher speed operation and higher payload-to-weight ratios required an increased understanding of the complex, interconnected nonlinear dynamics of robots. This requirement motivated the development of new theoretical results in nonlinear, robust, and adaptive control, which in turn enabled more sophisticated applications. Today, robot control systems are highly advanced with integrated force and vision systems.

Pew Control Systems Engineering Laboratory Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona 85287-6006 Linda M. Collins The Methodology Center and Department of Human Development and Family Studies Penn State University State College, PA Susan A. Murphy Institute for Social Research and Department of Statistics University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI May 30, 2005 Technical Report 05-73 The Methodology Center, Pennsylvania State University 1 Abstract Control engineering is the field that examines how to transform dynamical system behavior from undesirable conditions to desirable ones. Cruise control in automobiles, the home thermostat, and the insulin pump are all examples of control engineering at work. In the last few decades, signifi- cant improvements in computing and information technology, increasing access to information, and novel methods for sensing and actuation have enabled the extensive application of control engi- neering concepts to physical systems. While engineering control principles are meaningful as well to problems in the behavioral sciences, the application of this topic to this field remains largely unexplored. This technical report examines how engineering control principles can play a role in the be- havioral sciences through the analysis and design of adaptive, time-varying interventions in the prevention field. The basic conceptual framework for this work draws from the paper by Collins et al. (2004). In the initial portion of the report, a general overview of control engineering principles is presented and illustrated with a simple physical example. From this description, a qualitative description of adaptive time-varying interventions as a form of classical feedback control is devel- oped, which is depicted in the form of a block diagram (i.e., a control-oriented signal and systems representation).

  • Control Theory
    Control theory S. Simrock DESY, Hamburg, Germany Abstract In engineering and mathematics, control theory deals with the behaviour of dynamical systems. The desired output of a system is called the reference. When one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain ref- erence over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system. Rapid advances in digital system technology have radically altered the control design options. It has become routinely practicable to design very complicated digital controllers and to carry out the extensive calculations required for their design. These advances in im- plementation and design capability can be obtained at low cost because of the widespread availability of inexpensive and powerful digital processing plat- forms and high-speed analog IO devices. 1 Introduction The emphasis of this tutorial on control theory is on the design of digital controls to achieve good dy- namic response and small errors while using signals that are sampled in time and quantized in amplitude. Both transform (classical control) and state-space (modern control) methods are described and applied to illustrative examples. The transform methods emphasized are the root-locus method of Evans and fre- quency response. The state-space methods developed are the technique of pole assignment augmented by an estimator (observer) and optimal quadratic-loss control. The optimal control problems use the steady-state constant gain solution. Other topics covered are system identification and non-linear control. System identification is a general term to describe mathematical tools and algorithms that build dynamical models from measured data.
