变量阻抗MPC存在物理不可实现的刚度指令,会导致运动控制失效。
False Feasibility in Variable Impedance MPC for Legged Locomotion

- 通过区分参数可行集与真实可实现集,揭示刚度控制的物理局限性
- 当α<α_crit时,参数预测的刚度无法实际执行,数值验证偏差随α减小而增长
- 适用于足式机器人运动控制研究者,尤其关注高精度阻抗调控场景
变阻抗模型预测控制(MPC)常将关节刚度视为瞬时决策变量,但在一阶执行器动力学下,其可行集严格包含真实可实现集。本文将此视为公式错误而非建模近似,明确区分参数可行集F_param与真实可实现集F_real,通过无量纲参数α=ωsT(执行器带宽×任务时间尺度)刻画不匹配范围。在一维跳跃单足模型中,证明当α低于由任务物理推导出的临界值α_crit时,不存在可实现的刚度指令。1D数值验证显示,随着α减小,偏差单调增长,十组参数组合下对数-对数拟合决定系数R²=0.986。机制迁移至平面弹簧倒立摆模型,确认质心和支撑期时间偏差为主要后果,摩擦影响为次要现象。第二个阈值α_infeas<α_crit确立了不可修复的下限,否定保守调参的可行性。通过在预测状态中引入刚度,可从构造上消除该不匹配。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Variable impedance model predictive control (MPC) formulations often treat joint stiffness as an instantaneous decision variable. The resulting feasible set strictly contains the physically realizable set under first-order actuator dynamics. We identify this as a formulation error rather than a modeling approximation, formalize the distinction between the parameter-based feasible set F_param and the realizable set F_real, and characterize the regime of mismatch via the dimensionless parameter α = ωsT (actuator bandwidth times task timescale). For the 1D hopping monoped, we prove that below an analytical threshold α_crit derived in closed form from task physics, no admissible stiffness command realizes the parameter-based prediction. Numerical validation in 1D shows monotonic deviation growth as α decreases, with the predicted scaling holding across ten parameter combinations (log-log R2 = 0.986). Mechanism transfer to planar spring-loaded inverted pendulum dynamics confirms center-of-mass and stance-timing deviation as the primary consequence, with regime-dependent friction effects as a tertiary observable. A second threshold α_infeas < α_crit establishes a floor below which restricting the admissible stiffness range cannot repair realizability, closing the conservative-tuning objection. Augmenting the prediction state with stiffness closes the mismatch by construction.
