In this paper, a new method for fixed-order controller design of systems with polytopic uncertainty in their state space representation is proposed. The approach uses the strictly positive realness (SPRness) of some transfer functions, as a tool to decouple the controller parameters and the Lyapunov matrices and represent the stability conditions and the performance criteria by a set of linear matrix inequalities. The quality of this convex approximation depends on the choice of a central state matrix. It is shown that this central matrix can be computed from a set of initial fixed-order controllers computed for each vertex of the polytope. The stability of the closed-loop polytopic system is guaranteed by a linear parameter dependent Lyapunov matrix. The results are extended to fixed-order H infinity controller design for SISO systems.

Fixed-Order H-infinity Controller Design via Convex Optimization Using an Alternative to Youla Prameterization

Alireza Karimi, Hamid Khatibi

All H-infinity controllers of a SISO LTI system are parameterized thanks to the relation between Bounded Real Lemma and Positive Real Lemma and a new concept of strict positive realness of two transfer functions with the same Lyapunov matrix in the matrix inequality of the Kalman-Yakubovic-Popov lemma. This new parameterization shares the same features with Youla parameterization, namely on the convexity of H-infinity norm constraints for the closed-loop transfer functions. However, in contrary to Youla parameterization, it can deal with any controller order and any controller structure such as e.g. PID. The main feature of the proposed method is that it can be extended easily for the systems with polytopic uncertainty. This way, a convex inner approximation of all H-infinity controllers for polytopic systems is given, which can be enlarged by increasing the controller order. In order to design a low-order robust H-infinity controller with less conservatism, rank of the k-th Sylvester resultant matrix of the controller is made to be deficient via a convex approximation of the rank minimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown via simulation results.

Learning to move in modular robots using central pattern generators and online optimization

Auke Ijspeert, Jérôme Maye

This article addresses the problem of how modular robotics systems, i.e. systems composed of multiple modules that can be configured into different robotic structures, can learn to locomote. In particular, we tackle the problems of online learning, that is, learning while moving, and the problem of dealing with unknown arbitrary robotic structures. We propose a framework for learning locomotion controllers based on two components: a central pattern generator (CPG) and a gradient-free optimization algorithm: Powell’s method. The CPG is implemented as a system of coupled nonlinear oscillators in our YaMoR modular robotic system, with one oscillator per module. The nonlinear oscillators are coupled together across modules using Bluetooth communication to obtain specific gaits, i.e. synchronized patterns of oscillations among modules. Online learning is done by running the Powell optimization algorithm in parallel to the CPG model, with the speed of locomotion being the criterion to be optimized. Interesting aspects of the optimization are: it is carried out online, it does not require stopping or resetting the robots, and it is fast. We present results showing the interesting properties of this framework for a modular robotic system. In particular, our CPG model can readily be implemented in a distributed system, it is cheap computationally, it exhibits limit cycle behavior (temporary perturbations are rapidly forgotten), it produces smooth trajectories even when control parameters are abruptly changed, and it is robust against imperfect communication among modules. We also present results of learning to move with three different robot structures. Interesting locomotion modes are obtained after running the optimization for less than 60 minutes.

A Multivariable Design Methodology for Voltage Control of a Single-DG-Unit Microgrid

Behrooz Bahrani, Alireza Karimi, Alfred Rufer

This paper proposes a multivariable digital control design methodology for the voltage regulation of an islanded single distributed generation (DG) unit microgrid and its dedicated load. The controller design methodology is based on a family of spectral Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) models of the microgrid system and performs open-loop shaping and system decoupling simultaneously by a convex optimization approach. The control design procedure includes: (i) the determination of a family of nonparametric models of the system at various operating points, (ii) the determination of the class of the controller, and (iii) system open-loop shaping by convex minimization of the summation of the square second norm of the errors between the system open-loop transfer functions and a desired open-loop transfer function. Based on the proposed design methodology, two dq -augmented voltage controllers are proposed to regulate the load voltages of a single-DG-unit microgrid. The proposed controllers guarantee the robust stability and satisfactory dynamic response of the system in spite of load parametric uncertainties and also the presence of nonlinear load. This paper describes the theoretical aspects involved in the design procedure of the controllers and evaluates the performance of the controllers based on simulation studies and experiments.
