Inverse kinematics algorithms are commonly used in robotic systems to accomplish desired behavior, and several methods exist to ensure the achievement of several tasks simultaneously. The multiple task-priority inverse kinematics framework allows tasks to be considered in a prioritized order by projecting task velocities through the nullspaces of higher priority tasks. This paper extends this framework...
We study stability of hybrid systems described as feedback interconnections of smaller subsystems, within a Lyapunov-based ISS small-gain analysis framework. We focus on constructing a weak (nonstrictly decreasing) Lyapunov function for the overall hybrid system from weak ISS-Lyapunov functions for the subsystems in the interconnection. Asymptotic stability of the hybrid system is then concluded by...
We investigate stability of a class of singularly perturbed systems whose slow system is a set-valued average defined via an appropriate averaging procedure of the solutions of the continuous-time boundary layer system. An approximate hybrid system consisting of this average, the projection of the jump map in the direction of the slow states and flow and jump sets from the original dynamics is shown...
The unit quaternion is a pervasive representation of rigid-body attitude used for the design and analysis of feedback control laws. Often, quaternion-based feedbacks require an additional mechanism that lifts a continuous attitude path to the unit quaternion space. When this mechanism is memoryless, it has a limited domain where it remains injective and leads to discontinuities when used globally...
This technical note develops a unified Lyapunov approach to analysis of self-induced oscillations and stability for systems with piecewise linear elements. For self-induced oscillation within a global or regional attractor, invariant level sets of a piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function are obtained to bound the attractor via linear matrix inequality based optimization. The analysis results for self-induced...
