This
project is aimed at fundamental research in the general area of
automatic control, with emphasis on legged robots. In this sense, it
also has an important application aspect. The overall objectives are to
contribute to modeling and control of a class of nonlinear, hybrid
systems that arise in the study of legged robots. A specific research
objective is the study of the relative roles of "Mechanics" on the one
hand and "Automation" on the other for designing an articulated
mechanical system and associated control laws for achieving
asymptotically stable motion at a constant speed with low energy
consumption.
From the control design point of view, one of the interesting aspects of this problem, which is also a great source of analytical difficulty, is the necessity to use several dynamical models in order to describe the evolution of the system, more...
