Title
Distributed Model Predictive Control-based Approach for Flexible Robotic Tail
Abstract
This paper presents a control method of flexible robotic tail to investigate how the flexible tail affects the movement of animals. In a system which is a robot with a flexible tail positively contacts the ground, it is necessary to control including the following two difficult problem to predict; the flexible tail’s behavior and the reaction force/friction force between the ground and the body. Herein, we discuss the ideal flexible tail control method that assists the movement of the robot’s body from the aspect of Distributed Model Predictive Control (DMPC). Each DMPC of the two subsystems, which are the body and the tail, receives the target trajectory of the body, the subsystem’s output, and the state or force predicted in the other DMPC as inputs.
