Dynamics and multi-stability of a rotor-actuated Twistcar robot with passive steering joint
- 通过旋转轮周期驱动,被动转向关节产生复杂动态行为。
- 模型存在对称与非对称周期解,且随频率和结构参数变化发生稳定性转变。
- 适用于机器人非完整约束系统中多稳态运动机制的研究。
许多欠驱动轮式平台的非线性动力学由无滑移的非完整约束与动量守恒共同决定。传统理论模型通常将形状变量(如扭转车的转向角)设为周期性输入。本文研究一种新变体:主体重心处安装惯性旋转轮,施加周期性振荡作为驱动力,而转向关节保持被动自由转动。该模型动力学极为丰富,包含多重周期解(对称与非对称)、稳定性转变及分岔现象。通过数值模拟与降维运动方程的渐近分析,采用摄动展开获得对称周期解的主导动力学;再结合谐波平衡与尺度假设,近似推导出对称破缺鞍结分岔及对称周期解稳定性转变的条件,依赖于驱动频率与结构参数。渐近结果与数值仿真高度一致。结果揭示了被动形状变量在生成非完整机器人系统多稳态周期解中的关键作用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The nonlinear dynamics of many under-actuated wheeled platforms are governed by nonholonomic constraints of no-skid for passively rolling wheels, coupled with momentum balance. In most of theoretical models, the shape variables, i.e. joint angles, are directly prescribed as periodic inputs, such as steering angle of the Twistcar. In this work, we study a variant of the Twistcar model where the actuation input is periodic oscillations of an inertial rotor attached to the main body, while the steering joint is passively free to rotate. Remarkably, the dynamics of this model is extremely rich, and includes multiplicity of periodic solutions, both symmetric and asymmetric, as well as stability transitions and bifurcations. We conduct numerical simulations as well as asymptotic analysis of the vehicle's reduced equations of motion. We use perturbation expansion in order to obtain leading-order dynamics under symmetric periodic solution. Then, we utilize harmonic balance and further scaling assumptions in order to approximate the conditions for symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurcation and stability transition of the symmetric periodic solution, as a function of actuation frequency and structural parameters. The asymptotic results show good agreement with numerical simulations. The results highlight the role of passive shape variables in generating multi-stable periodic solutions for nonholonomic systems of robotic locomotion.
