Underactuated legged robots depict highly nonlinear and complex dynamical behaviors that create significant challenges in accurately modeling system dynamics using both first principles and system identification approaches. Hence, the design of stabilizing controllers becomes more challenging due to inaccurate modeling. Suppose physical parameters on mathematical models have miscalibrations due to uncertainty in identifying and modeling processes. In that case, designed controllers could perform poorly or even result in unstable responses. Moreover, these parameters can change over time due to operation and environmental conditions. In that respect, analogous to a living organism modifying its behavior in response to novel conditions, adapting/updating system parameters, such as spring constant to compensate for modeling errors, could provide the advantage of constructing a stable gait level controller without needing "exact" dynamical parameter values. This paper presents an online, model-based adaptive control approach for an underactuated planar hexapod robot's pronking behavior adopted from antelope species. We show through systematic simulation studies that the adaptive control policy is robust to high levels of parameter uncertainties compared to a non-adaptive model-based dead-beat controller.

Simulink plays an important role in the industry for modeling and synthesis of embedded systems. Ensuring system stability requires using numerous test cases to validate the functionality and safety of the models. However, as requirements increase, the complexity of the models poses new challenges to traditional testing methods. Traditional methods such as constraint solving and random search run into significant obstacles when navigating the complex branching logic and states within models. In this paper, we introduce HybridTCG, a test case generation method by collaborating model fuzzing and state solving for Simulink models. First, HybridTCG starts a code-based fuzzer to generate high-coverage test cases rapidly. Then, it refines the test cases generated by the fuzzer, preserving only those that can achieve new model coverage. These selected test cases are input into the state-solving engine to derive corresponding states and resolve the constraints of subsequent branches. Ultimately, the test cases produced by the solving engine will be fed back into the fuzzer as high-quality seeds to enhance the fuzzing process. We have implemented HybridTCG and conducted a comprehensive evaluation using various benchmark Simulink models. Compared to the built-in Simulink Design Verifier and state-of-the-art academic work SimCoTest and STCG, HybridTCG achieves an average improvement of 54%, 108% and 24% on Decision Coverage, 50%, 62% and 6% on Condition Coverage, 291%, 282% and 45% on Modified Condition Decision Coverage, respectively. Moreover, HybridTCG is also much more efficient in testing than other tools.

Aggressive and accurate control of complex dynamical systems, such as soft robots, is especially challenging due to the difficulty of obtaining an accurate and tractable model for realtime control. Learned dynamic models are incredibly useful because they do not require derivation of an analytical model, they can represent complex, nonlinear behavior directly from data, and they can be evaluated quickly on graphics-processing units (GPUs). In this paper, we present an open-source Python library to further current research in model-based control of soft robot systems. Our library for modeling of Learned Dynamics (MoLDy), is designed to generate learned forward models of complexsystems through a data-driven approach to hyperparameter optimization and learned model training. Included in the MoLDy library, we present an open-source version of NEMPC (Nonlinear Evo-lutionary Model Predictive control), a previously published control algorithm validated on soft robots. We demonstrate the ability of MoLDy and NEMPC to accurately perform model-based control on a physical pneumatic continuum joint. We also present a benchmarking study on the effect of the loss metric used in model training on control performance. The results of this paper serve to guide other researchers in creating learned dynamic models of novel systems and using them in closed-loop control tasks.

Microgrid is usually a nonlinear system composed of heterogeneous distributed generators and has complex stability problems. The traditional passivity-based control methods are facing challenges due to the complexity and uncertainty of the components in microgrid. In this paper, output-differential (OD) passivity, feedback passification and robust stability control of distributed generators are addressed. First, a sufficient condition for nonlinear systems to be robust OD passive is derived by data-driven matrix inequality (DMI) method. Then, a feedback passification design is proposed to render the system robust OD passive. Based on that, we provide a passivity-based robust control method to guarantee the stability of microgrids. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.
