NEIGHBORING NEAR MINIMUM-TIME CONTROLS WITH DISCONTINUITIES AND THE APPLICATION TO THE CONTROL OF MANIPULATORS (PATH-PLANNING, TRACKING, FEEDBACK)

Summary:
This thesis presents several algorithms to treat the problem of closed-loop near minimum-time controls with discontinuities. First, a neighboring control algorithm is developed to solve the problem in which controls are bounded by constant constraints. Secondly, the scheme is extended to account for state-dependent control constraints. And finally, a path tracking algorithm for robotic manipulators is presented, which is also a neighboring control algorithm. These algorithms are suitable for real time controls because the on-line computations involved are relatively simple. Simulation results show that these algorithms work well despite the fact that the prescribed final points can not be reached exactly.
