Motion control - A SMC approach
Motion control involves many diversified control problems of complex nonlinear systems. In this paper we will be addressing the SMC approach for multi-body mechanical systems control. The main feature of the SMC is constraint of the system motion into manifold in system state space. It will be shown that usage of the SMC methods is a natural way of addressing problems in motion control including constrained systems, redundant systems and functionally related systems to name some. The consistent application of the SMC methods leads to natural decomposition of system motion for redundant tasks and allows simple, straight forward dynamical decoupling of the multiple tasks.
