Book Synopsis Dynamics of the Unicycle by : Michał Niełaczny
Download or read book Dynamics of the Unicycle written by Michał Niełaczny and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a three-dimensional model of the complete unicycle–unicyclist system. A unicycle with a unicyclist on it represents a very complex system. It combines Mechanics, Biomechanics and Control Theory into the system, and is impressive in both its simplicity and improbability. Even more amazing is the fact that most unicyclists don’t know that what they’re doing is, according to science, impossible – just like bumblebees theoretically shouldn’t be able to fly. This book is devoted to the problem of modeling and controlling a 3D dynamical system consisting of a single-wheeled vehicle, namely a unicycle and the cyclist (unicyclist) riding it. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of the rarely used Boltzmann–Hamel Equations in Matrix Form, which are based on quasi-velocities. The Matrix Form allows Hamel coefficients to be automatically generated, and eliminates all the difficulties associated with determining these quantities. The equations of motion are solved by means of Wolfram Mathematica. To more faithfully represent the unicyclist as part of the model, the model is extended according to the main principles of biomechanics. The impact of the pneumatic tire is investigated using the Pacejka Magic Formula model including experimental determination of the stiffness coefficient. The aim of control is to maintain the unicycle–unicyclist system in an unstable equilibrium around a given angular position. The control system, based on LQ Regulator, is applied in Wolfram Mathematica. Lastly, experimental validation, 3D motion capture using software OptiTrack – Motive:Body and high-speed cameras are employed to test the model’s legitimacy. The description of the unicycle–unicyclist system dynamical model, simulation results, and experimental validation are all presented in detail.
Book Synopsis Dynamics and Nonlinear, Adaptive Control of an Autonomous Unicycle by : David William Vos
Download or read book Dynamics and Nonlinear, Adaptive Control of an Autonomous Unicycle written by David William Vos and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies the dynamics and active control of a mechanical unicycle with the human rider replaced by a turntable. The unicycle equations of motion are derived, linear in all states except yaw rate which is not considered a perturbation quantity. Using the specialized linear equations with yaw rate also linearized, the dynamics of the open loop system are studied and shown to decouple into longitudinal and lateral systems for zero turntable angular velocity, and linear controllers are proposed for stabilization. The systems reduce to lower order models by exploitation of the time scale separation of the open loop dynamics. A variation of the LQG control design method is derived and used in both the lateral and longitudinal controller designs. This method allows recovery of LQ regulator inner loop without use of pole zero cancellation strategy, hence potentially offering greater parameter uncertainty robustness. The lateral controller is continuously gain scheduled and implemented in a bang-bang setting in order to deal with coulomb friction effects between the tire and the ground. An estimation algorithm is defined to continuously determine estimates of the friction and hence adapt the bang-bang control algorithm.

Book Synopsis Dynamics Modelling of a Multi Body Unicycle in Three-dimensional Space by : Buddhika Lakmal Aththanayaka
Download or read book Dynamics Modelling of a Multi Body Unicycle in Three-dimensional Space written by Buddhika Lakmal Aththanayaka and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-balanced unicycle has received the attention of researchers for decades. Over the years, unicycle models with several different assemblies have been introduced by them. A thorough analysis of the dynamics of a unicycle with a frame and a rotating disk is discussed in this research. A torque applied to the rolling wheel maintains the longitudinal stability of the system by moving forward and backward. The rotating disk mounted on the top of the frame maintains the lateral stability of the system by providing a torque. Due to this torque the rolling wheel precess and change its yaw direction. The components of the unicycle assembly are addressed separately for the analysis of the dynamics. First, only the rolling wheel considered. Then, the rolling wheel and the frame are analyzed. Finally, the completed assembly with the rotating disk considered to build the dynamics model. In each of these cases both Newton-Euler and Lagrangian methods are used to obtain the dynamics equations for the unicycle.
Book Synopsis Dynamics and Optimal Control of Road Vehicles by : D. J. N. Limebeer
Download or read book Dynamics and Optimal Control of Road Vehicles written by D. J. N. Limebeer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamics and Optimal Control of Road Vehicles uniquely offers a unified treatment of tyre, car and motorcycle dynamics, and the application of nonlinear optimal control to vehicle-related problems within a single book. This is a comprehensive and accessible text that emphasises the theoretical aspects of vehicular modelling and control. The book focuses on two major elements. The first is classical mechanics and its use in building vehicle and tyre dynamics models. The second focus is nonlinear optimal control, which is used to solve a range of minimum-time and minimum-fuel, as well as track curvature reconstruction problems. As is known classically, all of this material is bound together by the calculus of variations and stationary principles. The treatment of this material is supplemented with a number of examples that were designed to highlight obscurities and subtleties in the theory.

The synthesis is appropriate as there is a rich connection between mechanics and nonlinear control theory. The book provides a unified treatment of nonlinear control theory and constrained mechanical systems that incorporates material not available in other recent texts. The book benefits graduate students and researchers in the area who want to enhance their understanding and enhance their techniques.
Book Synopsis Flocking and Rendezvous in Distributed Robotics by : Bruce A. Francis
Download or read book Flocking and Rendezvous in Distributed Robotics written by Bruce A. Francis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief describes the coordinated control of groups of robots using only sensory input – and no direct external commands. Furthermore, each robot employs the same local strategy, i.e., there are no leaders, and the text also deals with decentralized control, allowing for cases in which no single robot can sense all the others. One can get intuition for the problem from the natural world, for example, flocking birds. How do they achieve and maintain their flying formation? Recognizing their importance as the most basic coordination tasks for mobile robot networks, the brief details flocking and rendezvous. They are shown to be physical illustrations of emergent behaviors with global consensus arising from local interactions. The authors extend the consideration of these fundamental ideas to describe their operation in flying robots and prompt readers to pursue further research in the field. Flocking and Rendezvous in Distributed Robotics will provide graduate students a firm grounding in the subject, while also offering an authoritative reference work for more experienced workers seeking a brief but thorough treatment of an area that has rapidly gained in interest.

This book was released on 2006-09-10 with total page 842 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometrical Dynamics of Complex Systems is a graduate?level monographic textbook. Itrepresentsacomprehensiveintroductionintorigorousgeometrical dynamicsofcomplexsystemsofvariousnatures. By?complexsystems?,inthis book are meant high?dimensional nonlinear systems, which can be (but not necessarily are) adaptive. This monograph proposes a uni?ed geometrical - proachtodynamicsofcomplexsystemsofvariouskinds:engineering,physical, biophysical, psychophysical, sociophysical, econophysical, etc. As their names suggest, all these multi?input multi?output (MIMO) systems have something in common: the underlying physics. However, instead of dealing with the pop- 1 ular ?soft complexity philosophy?, we rather propose a rigorous geometrical and topological approach. We believe that our rigorous approach has much greater predictive power than the soft one. We argue that science and te- nology is all about prediction and control. Observation, understanding and explanation are important in education at undergraduate level, but after that it should be all prediction and control. The main objective of this book is to show that high?dimensional nonlinear systems and processes of ?real life? can be modelled and analyzed using rigorous mathematics, which enables their complete predictability and controllability, as if they were linear systems. It is well?known that linear systems, which are completely predictable and controllable by de?nition ? live only in Euclidean spaces (of various - mensions). They are as simple as possible, mathematically elegant and fully elaborated from either scienti?c or engineering side. However, in nature, no- ing is linear. In reality, everything has a certain degree of nonlinearity, which means: unpredictability, with subsequent uncontrollability.
