AbstractA stable observer design for Lipschitz non-linear systems like flexible link Robot is considering using Linear Matrix Inequalities. The methodology is applied to the system with three or more sensors in which state is observable through any one of the sensor measurements. By using this observer gain, we can find the residues, which are used for fault identification. Distance to unobservabilty and its relation to observer design is also considering here. A stable Observer is also designed for the flexible link robot by this method.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Observer design for nonlinear systems has been a very

    for design of the observer gain. This paper also presents the observer design for flexible link robot using distance to un observability technique.

  2. FLEXIBLE LINK ROBOT

    Consider a onelink manipulator with revolute joints actu- ated by a motor as shown in The elasticity of the joint can be well-modelled by a linear torsional spring. The elastic coupling of the motor shaft to the link introduces an additional degree of freedom. The states of this system are motor position and velocity, and the link position and velocity.

    active field of research during the last decade. The introduction of geometric techniques led to great success in the development of controllers for nonlinear systems. Many attempts have

    (2)

    been made to achieve results of equally wide applicability for state estimation. But the observer problem found to be more difficult than the controller problem. Krener and Respondek

    1 = 1 (3)

    (1985), Krener and Isidori (1983) and Xiao-Hua and Gao (1985) attempted a coordinate transformation so that the state estimation error dynamics were linear in the new coordinates.

    are extremely difficult to satisfy. Even if these conditions are satisfied, the construction of the observer still remains a difficult task due to the need to solve a set of simultaneous partial differential equations to obtain the actual transformation function.

    This present paper assumes partial state measurement and concentrates on developing a fault diagnostic methodology for systems with Lipschitz non-linear dynamics. A continuous system is said to be globally Lipschitz if the derivative at all points of the function has absolute value, which is always less than a definite real number. That definite real number is called Lipschitz constant . The solution is unique and existing if the noninear function (x, u) satisfies the Lipschitz condition given by,

    where, 1 is the link angle, m is the motor angular position, 1 is the link angular velocity and m is the motor angular velocity.

    The system dynamics are nonlinear and of the form

    x = Ax + (x, u) + g(y)u (6)

    y = Cx (7)

    l A fault diagnostic technique using Linear Matrix Inequal- ity(LMI)for Robotic system with Lipchitz nonlinear dynamics is presented here. The system use three sensors, in which the state is observable through any one of the sensor mea- surements. The observer gain matrix is calculated for finding the residues in the system. Fault is determined using these residues. The paper not only provides sufficient conditions on the observer gain matrix for enabling isolation of faults but

  6. CONCLUSION

A stable observer is designed for flexible link robot using LMI. By using this observer gain matrix, we can identify the fault in the system. Distance to unobservability is studied and estimated for orginal and transformed system. A stable observer is designed for robot by using this method. Two

theorems based on Algebraic riccati equation are found.
