Control of Wall Mounting Robot

Abstract

This paper presents a method for designing controllers for trajectory tracking with actuator constraints. In particular, we consider a joystick-controlled wall mounting robot called WallMo. In contrast to previous works, a model-free approach is taken to the control problem, where the path parameter for the trajectory is adapted online. We demonstrate the method on a dynamic model of WallMo using predefined motion primitives, i.e. we consider path-constrained trajectory generation. It is seen that the control scheme results in improved trajectory tracking.
