Reconfigurable robots provide an attractive option for cleaning tasks, thanks to their better area coverage and adaptability to changing environment. However, the ability to change morphology creates drastic changes in the reconfigurable robot dynamics, and existing control design techniques do not take this into account. Neglecting configuration changes can lead to performance degradation and, in the worst scenarios, instability. This paper proposes to embed the changes arising from reconfiguration in the control design, via a switched uncertain Euler-Lagrangian model. Accordingly, a novel switched adaptive design is proposed for trajectory tracking. Closed-loop stability is assured using the multiple Lyapunov function framework, and the design is implemented and validated on a self-reconfigurable pavement cleaning mobile robot (PANTHERA). Note to Practitioners—Self-reconfigurable mobile cleaning robots, which can change their configurations as per the application requirements, are now predominantly used for cleaning and maintenance operations because of their better area coverage, less manpower requirement and consistent performance. However, the state-of-the-art control strategies for conventional robots cannot always ensure stability and performance under the simultaneous effects of configuration changes and uncertainties. The switched Euler-Lagrange model formulated in this work can capture the configuration changes of the robot and the proposed switched adaptive controller can tackle uncertainties of each configurations of the robot. The simulation and experimental results clearly show the potential issues of the state-of-the-art methods and the remarkable benefits of the proposed approach. |
