Position‐Feedback Integral IDA‐PBC for Constant Matched and Unmatched Disturbances

Authors

Abstract

This work investigates the passivity‐based control of a class of underactuated mechanical systems subject to constant matched and unmatched disturbances, for which the momenta are not measured. The main contribution is a new design of the integral interconnection‐and‐damping assignment passivity‐based control that only relies on position feedback. Numerical simulations on a disk‐on‐disk system, on an Acrobot system, and on a rigid‐link model representative of a soft continuum manipulator demonstrate the effectiveness of the new controller.
