Multivalued Robust Tracking Control of Lagrange Systems: Continuous and Discrete-Time Algorithms
The robust trajectory tracking of fully actuated Lagrange systems is studied. Exogenous perturbations as well as parameter uncertainties are taken into account. A family of set-valued passivity-based controllers is proposed, including first-order sliding-mode schemes. The existence of solutions and the stability of the closed-loop system are established in continuous time. An implicit discretization approach is proposed and the well posedness and the stability of the closed-loop system are studied. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed discrete-time controller.
