文摘In this paper,a framework of model predictive optimization and control for quadruped whole-body locomotion is presented,which enables dynamic balance and minimizes the control effort.First,we propose a hierarchical control scheme consisting of two modules.The first layer is to find an optimal ground reaction force(GRF)by employing inner model predictive control(MPC)along a full motor gait cycle,ensuring the minimal energy consumption of the system.Based on the output GRF of inner layer,the second layer is designed to prioritize tasks for motor execution sequentially using an outer model predictive control.In inner MPC,an objective function about GRF is designed by using a model with relatively long time horizons.Then a neural network solver is used to obtain the optimal GRF by minimizing the objective function.By using a two-layered MPC architecture,we design a hybrid motion/force controller to handle the impedance of leg joints and robotic uncertainties including external perturbation.Finally,we perform extensive experiments with a quadruped robot,including the crawl and trotting gaits,to verify the proposed control framework.

文摘To achieve the track following and collision avoidance of underactuated unmanned surface vehicle(USV),autonomous navigation model based on model predictive control is established by including the track offset,speed variation and rule compliance as the evaluation functions and including the ship domain of dynamic/static navigation obstacles and the mechanical characteristics limitation as constraints.The effectiveness of the model for autonomous navigation of USV in the situation of multi-ship encounters and in the complex waters with both dynamic and static obstructions is verified by several groups of simulation work.The simulation results show that the proposed model can realize the autonomous navigation of the underactuated USV under the complex waters.

文摘With the development of More Electric Aircraft(MEA),the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM)is widely used in the MEA field.The PMSM control system of MEA needs to consider the system reliability,and the inverter switching frequency of the inverter is one of the impacting factors.At the same time,the control accuracy of the system also needs to be considered,and the torque ripple and flux ripple are usually considered to be its important indexes.This paper proposes a three-stage series Model Predictive Torque and Flux Control system(three-stage series MPTFC)based on fast optimal voltage vector selection to reduce switching frequency and suppress torque ripple and flux ripple.Firstly,the analytical model of the PMSM is established and the multi-stage series control method is used to reduce the switching frequency.Secondly,selectable voltage vectors are extended from 8 to 26 and a fast selection method for optimal voltage vector sectors is designed based on the hysteresis comparator,which can suppress the torque ripple and flux ripple to improve the control accuracy.Thirdly,a three-stage series control is obtained by expanding the two-stage series control using the P-Q torque decomposition theory.Finally,a model predictive torque and flux control experimental platform is built,and the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are verified through comparison experiments.

文摘This paper addresses the parallel control of autonomous surface vehicles subject to external disturbances,state constraints,and input constraints in complex ocean environments with multiple obstacles.A safety-certified parallel model predictive control scheme with collision-avoiding capability is proposed for autonomous surface vehicles in the framework of parallel control.Specifically,an extended state observer is designed by leveraging historical and real-time data for concurrent learning to map the motion of autonomous surface vehicles from its physical system to its artificial counterpart.A parallel model predictive control law is developed on the basis of the artificial system for both physical and artificial autonomous surface vehicles to realize virtual-physical tracking control of vehicles subject to state and input constraints.To ensure safety,highorder discrete control barrier functions are encoded in the parallel model predictive control law as safety constraints such that collision avoidance with obstacles can be achieved.A recedinghorizon constrained optimization problem is constructed with the safety constraints encoded by control barrier functions for parallel model predictive control of autonomous surface vehicles and solved via neurodynamic optimization with projection neural networks.The effectiveness and characteristics of the proposed method are demonstrated via simulations for the safe trajectory tracking and automatic berthing of autonomous surface vehicles.
文摘To solve the attitude trajectory tracking problem for hypersonic vehicles in the presence of system constraints and unknown disturbances,this paper designed a nonlinear robust model predictive control(RMPC)scheme,which can produce near-optimal tracking commands.Unlike the existing designs,the proposed scheme is less conservative and successfully prioritizes the solution optimality.The established RMPC follows a dualloop structure.Specifically,in the outer feedback loop,the reference attitude angle profiles are optimally tracked,while in the inner feedback loop,the control moment commands are produced by optimally tracking the desired angular rate trajectories.Besides,an adaptive disturbance observer(ADO)is designed and embedded in the inner and outer RMPC controllers to alleviate the negative effects caused by unknown external disturbances.The recursive feasibility of the optimization process,together with the input-to-state stability of the proposed RMPC,is theoretically guaranteed by introducing a tightened control constraint and terminal region.The derived property reveals that our proposal can steer the tracking error within a small region of convergence.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by performing simulation studies.

文摘The existing research on the path following of the autonomous electric vehicle(AEV)mainly focuses on the path planning and the kinematic control.However,the dynamic control with the state observation and the communication delay is usually ignored,so the path following performance of the AEV cannot be ensured.This article studies the observer-based path following control strategy for the AEV with the communication delay via a robust explicit model predictive control approach.Firstly,a projected interval unscented Kalman filter is proposed to observe the vehicle sideslip angle and yaw rate.The observer considers the state constraints during the observation process,and the robustness of the observer is also considered.Secondly,an explicit model predictive control is designed to reduce the computational complexity.Thirdly,considering the efficiency of the information transmission,the influence of the communication delay is considered when designing the observer-based path following control strategy.Finally,the numerical simulation and the hardware-in-the-loop test are conducted to examine the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed strategy.
