This paper considers the stabilization of underactuated mechanicalsystems via high-amplitude, high-frequency actuation. Using higher order averaging techniques, we extend previous work to the case where symmetric products of order higher than one are necessary for controllability. We first introduce a second order averaged mechanical system model that incorporates higher order terms. Using this result, we obtain trajectory tracking in the average by feeding back an error signal that is constant over whole periods of the oscillatory actuation. A simulation demonstrates the method.

Considers the task of trajectory stabilization for a fish-like robot by means of feedback. We use oscillatory control inputs and apply correction signals at the endpoints of each periodic input signal. Such a strategy can be proven to cause the system to converge to a desired trajectory. We present a specific model of a planar carangiform fish, and verify the stabilization results with simulations and with experiment on a planar robotic fish system that is propelled using carangiform-like movements.

In order to provide quality nursing care for bed-bound and disabled people without causing physical and mental stress to both patients and nurses, we have been developing a prototype of a human-assisting robotic system, referred to as HARO (Human-Assisting RObot), which is worn by an operator to amplify his or her power. This paper focuses on the suggestion of new evaluating method about assisting ability of a man-machine system based on muscular character, body mechanics and operator's link model.

Considers the design of motion control algorithms for robot fish. We present modeling, control design, and experimental trajectory tracking results for an experimental planar robotic fish system that is propelled using carangiform-like locomotion. Our model for the fish's propulsion is based on quasi-steady fluid flow. Using this model, we propose gaits for forward and turning trajectories and analyze system response under such control strategies. Our models and predictions are verified by experiment.

We analyze the effect of functional feedback in an extremum seeking loop. Our study is motivated by a formation flight problem where the trailing aircraft experiences an outward rolling moment as the vortex effects of the leading aircraft come into play. Viewed as the extremized functional, this rolling moment feeds itself back to the lateral dynamics of the aircraft. In the initial half of the paper we impose restrictions on the curvature of the extremized functional and examine the effect under the assumption of a dynamic time-scale separation between the tracking loops of the linear dynamical system and the extremum seeking loop; in the latter half we remove both these assumptions and instead impose assumed functional forms on the extremized functional.

We describe the effect of physical dissipation on stability of equilibria which have been stabilized, in the absence of damping, using the method of controlled Lagrangians. This method applies to a class of underactuated mechanicalsystems including "balance" systems such as the pendulum on a cart. Since the method involves modifying a system's kinetic energy metric through feedback, the effect of dissipation is obscured. In particular, it is not generally true that damping makes a feedback-stabilized equilibrium asymptotically stable. Damping in the unactuated directions does tend to enhance stability, however damping in the controlled directions must be "reversed" through feedback. In this paper, we suggest a choice of feedback dissipation to locally exponentially stabilize a class of controlled Lagrangian systems.
