Abstract

In the paper we provide a method of constructing an accurate mathematical model and solving a steady motion stabilization problem by the example of a simple rover − a four-wheeled mobile single-link manipulator with elastic suspension. It is an actual problem [16] because Lagrange equations of the second kind are not applicable for such systems. Redundant coordinates and equations of motion in M.F. Shul’gin’s form [1-3] are used to model the mechanical part of the manipulator dynamics. Vector-matrix form of the equations is convenient for analysis and control theory and the theory of critical cases [6-8] applying. The algorithm of solving stabilization problem was developed in [10-11].

The manipulator has to move rectilinearly with a constant speed and keep its clamp (with a camera or a scanner, for example) on a specified height. The system has a geometric constraint as the link is connected with a DC motor gear wheel by an inextensible arm AB. As a control action additional tension at the anchor engine is accepted. The wheels are simulated as two springs.

Solving the problem consists of a few steps:

1. Mathematical modeling using F.M. Shul’gin’s equations.

2. Calculating parameters of a steady motion.

3. The first approximation of the disturbed motion equations around the steady motion is found.

4. The linear substitution [10-11] is used for the system to have a special form of the theory of critical cases [6-8].

5. Manipulator controllability [9] is confirmed.

6. Coefficients of the optimal linear control law are determined uniquely by solving linear-quadratic problem using N.N. Krasovsky’s method [9, 15].

7. System stability is analyzed.

Results of numerical computations showed that the control law provides asymptotic stability with respect to all variables. This algorithm was programmed in MATLAB.
