This study demonstrates an adaptive model predictive control method for input constrained control of underactuated bipedal walking with a predefined trajectory. Our approach aims to increase the trajectory tracking performance of the system and produce realistic and applicable responses while letting a certain amount of posture change around the predefined trajectory. To do so, we employ whole-body dynamics in our control structure, include weights for the unactuated joint inside the cost function, and define input torque constraints in the solution. Obeying input torque limits decreases modeling and estimation errors, such that trajectory tracking becomes more robust and efficient. Additionally, we test this model-based controller successfully against various disturbances such as high magnitude modeling errors in its weight, significant initial condition errors, pushing and pulling the torso aggressively throughout a step, high percentage input noises, and their combinations. These disturbances are usually introduced in the torso because it is the heaviest, the longest, and the unactuated joint. Thanks to its short-horizon requirement, the controller is suitable for implementation in real-time and in 1kHz frequency, which is usually required to control high-dimensional underactuated nonlinear hybrid systems.

Prediction of slip in cable-drum systems using structured neural networks KILIÇ, Ergin; Dölen, Melik (SAGE Publications, 2014-02-01) This study focuses on the slip prediction in a cable-drum system using artificial neural networks for the prospect of developing linear motion sensing scheme for such mechanisms. Both feed-forward and recurrent-type artificial neural network architectures are considered to capture the slip dynamics of cable-drum mechanisms. In the article, the network development is presented in a progressive (step-by-step) fashion for the purpose of not only making the design process transparent to the readers but also hig...
Sliding mode control for non-linear systems with adaptive sliding surfaces Durmaz, Burak; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; SALAMCİ, METİN UYMAZ (2012-02-01) This study covers the sliding mode control design with adaptive sliding surfaces for a class of affine non-linear systems, which can be described by (x) over dot = A(x)x + B(x)u + f(x) + d(x, t). The main streamline of the study is the sliding surface design for such systems. The sliding surfaces are designed to be moving with varying slopes and offsets. The varying sliding surface parameters are determined by solving the state-dependent Riccati equations online during the control process. Thus, the sliding...
Optimal control of a half-circular compliant legged monopod AYDIN, Yasemin Ozkan; Saranlı, Afşar; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Saranlı, Uluç; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2014-12-01) This paper investigates an optimal control strategy for the dynamic locomotion of a simplified planar compliant half-circular legged monopod model. We first present a novel planar leg model which incorporates rolling kinematics and a new compliance model, motivated by the use of similar leg designs on existing platforms. Two locomotion tasks, moving at a prescribed horizontal velocity and a one-shot jump to maximum possible height or length, are then investigated within this model. The designs of two high-l...
Control of a differentially driven mobile robot using radial basis function based neural networks Bayar, Gökhan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Buǧra Koku, A. (2008-12-01) This paper proposes the use of radial basis function neural networks approach to the solution of a mobile robot orientation adjustment using reinforcement learning. In order to control the orientation of the mobile robot, a neural network control system has been constructed and implemented. Neural controller has been charged to enhance the control system by adding some degrees of award. Making use of the potential of neural networks to learn the relationships, the desired reference orientation and the error...
Nonlinear dynamic modeling of gear-shaft-disk-bearing systems using finite elements and describing functions Maliha, R; Dogruer, CU; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (ASME International, 2004-05-01) This study presents a new nonlinear dynamic model for a gear-shaft-disk-bearing system. A nonlinear dynamic model of a spur gear pair is coupled with linear finite element models of shafts carrying them, and with discrete models of bearings and disks. The nonlinear elasticity term resulting from backlash is expressed by a describing function, and a method developed in previous studies to determine multi harmonic responses of nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom systems is employed for the solution. The excitat...
