Control of multiple model systems
This thesis considers the control of multiple model systems. These are systems for which only one model out of some finite set of models gives the system dynamics at any given time. In particular, the model that gives the system dynamics can change over time. This thesis covers some of the theore...

Control issues for two examples are specifically addressed. The first example is distributed manipulation. Distributed manipulation systems control an object's motion through contact with a high number of actuators.

This thesis considers the control of multiple model systems. These are systems for which only one model out of some finite set of models gives the system dynamics at any given time. In particular, the model that gives the system dynamics can change over time. This thesis covers some of the theoretical aspects of these systems, including controllability and stabilizability. As an application, ``overconstrained' mechanical systems are modeled as multiple model systems. Examples of such systems include distributed manipulation problems such as microelectromechanical systems and many wheeled vehicles such as the Sojourner vehicle of the Mars Pathfinder mission. Such systems are typified by having more Pfaffian constraints than degrees of freedom. Conventional classical motion planning and control theories do not directly apply to overconstrained systems. Control issues for two examples are specifically addressed. The first example is distributed manipulation. Distributed manipulation systems control an object's motion through contact with a high number of actuators. Stability results are shown for such systems and control schemes based on these results are implemented on a distributed manipulation test-bed. The second example is that of overconstrained vehicles, of which the Mars rover is an example. The nonlinear controllability test for multiple model systems is used to answer whether a kinematic model of the rover is or is not controllable. |
