Abstract:This paper proposes a model-based approach to control the shape of a tensegrity system by driving its node position locations. The nonlinear dynamics of the tensegrity system is used to regulate position, velocity, and acceleration to the specified reference trajectory. State feedback control design is used to obtain the solution for the control variable as a linear programming problem. Shape control for the gyroscopic tensegrity systems is discussed, and it is observed that these systems increase the reachabl… Show more
