Abstract

A common feedforward control problem is the realization of finite-time setpoint transitions. Typical examples are e.g. rest-to-rest motions of mechatronic systems or load changes in process control. This talk presents a new approach for inversion-based feedforward control design of nonlinear systems. The inversion-based design treats the setpoint transition as a two-point boundary value problem (BVP) in the coordinates of the input/output normal form. Thereby, a sufficient number of free parameters is provided in the output trajectory to solve the overdetermined BVP of the internal dynamics. The resulting BVP with free parameters can be solved numerically e.g. with the Matlab function bvp4c. The approach is also applicable to nonminimum-phase systems and allows to directly incorporate constraints on the input, the output, and its time derivatives within the formulation of the BVP. The feedforward control design and the incorporation of the constraints are illustrated by swing-up and side-stepping scenarios of different double/triple pendulum systems both with nominal and experimental results.

Biographical Information

Knut Graichen graduated in "Engineering Cybernetics" at Universität Stuttgart in 2002. During his studies, he was with Robert Bosch Corp., Research and Technology Center North America (RTC) in Palo Alto, CA (USA) for doing an internship and his diploma thesis. Since 2003, he is a research assistant and PhD student at "Institut für Systemdynamik", Universität Stuttgart. His main research interests are in nonlinear feedforward/feedback control design and differential flatness with applications to mechatronic systems and chemical engineering.
