Detailed Description

Online Compensator Design.

Tune in an online fashion a controller for a DC motor plant identified by means of OnlineDCMotorEstimator .

The design of the controller is such that the properties of the compensated closed-loop system comply with specifications given in terms of bandwidth and disturbance rejection.

This class has four operative modes: one for the plant estimation, one for the plant validation, one for the stiction estimation and one for validating the controller's design.

◆ start()

bool iCub::ctrl::OnlineCompensatorDesign::start ( )
protected

◆ startControllerValidation()

bool OnlineCompensatorDesign::startControllerValidation ( const yarp::os::Property &  options)
virtual

Start off the controller validation procedure.

The specified controller is put to test against the controller currently set within the firmware. The validation experiment foresees cycles of rising and falling transitions in the reference trajectory. The control is therefore continuously switched between the current and the new controller.

Once the validation has been carried out, then the low-level controller's paremeters are restored to their previous values.

Parameters
optionsproperty containing the validation options. Available otions are: (max_time <double>) specifies the maximum amount of time for the experiment; (Kp <double>) (Ki <double>) (Kd <double>) (tau_d <double>) (scale <int>) specify the controller's gains; (stiction (<double><double>)) specifies the stiction values; (stiction_compensation <string>) specifies whether the compensation is managed by the "firmware" (default) or the "middleware"; (ref_type <string>) specifies the waveform of the position reference ("square"|"min-jerk"); (ref_period <double>) specifies the period of the reference; (ref_sustain_time <double>) specifies how log (in seconds) the reference should be kept at the set-point before switching to next value (meaningful for min-jerk reference type); (cycles_to_switch <int>) specifies the number of cycles during which one controller is tested before the switch.
Note
if active, the yarp port streams out, respectively, the mode id 3, the commanded voltage, the actual encoder value, the position reference and a flag accounting for the old pid behavior (0) or the new pid behavior (1). Zero-padding allows being compliant with the data size used for plant estimation mode.
Returns
true iff started successfully.

Definition at line 971 of file tuning.cpp.

◆ startPlantEstimation()

bool OnlineCompensatorDesign::startPlantEstimation ( const yarp::os::Property &  options)
virtual

Start off the plant estimation procedure.

Parameters
optionsproperty containing the estimation options. Available otions are: (max_time <double>) specifies the maximum amount of time for the experiment; (switch_timeout <double>) if greater than 0.0 specifies the timeout for voltage switching logic.
Note
if active, the yarp port streams out, respectively, the mode id 0, the commanded voltage, the actual encoder value and the 4D internal state of the estimator as well as the averaged parameters.
Returns
true iff started successfully.

Definition at line 891 of file tuning.cpp.

◆ startPlantValidation()

bool OnlineCompensatorDesign::startPlantValidation ( const yarp::os::Property &  options)
virtual

Start off the plant validation procedure.

Parameters
optionsproperty containing the validation options. Available otions are: (max_time <double>) specifies the maximum amount of time for the experiment; (switch_timeout <double>) if greater than 0.0 specifies the timeout for voltage switching logic; (tau <double>) specifies the mechanical time constant of the plant to be validated; (K <double>) specifies the plant gain to be validated; (measure_update_ticks <int>) specifies how many sample ticks to take before updating the measurement in the Kalman filter, if <= 0 then no update is performed; (Q <double>) (R <double>) (P0 <double>) are the well known Kalman quantities for the noise statistics.
Note
if active, the yarp port streams out, respectively, the mode id 1, the commanded voltage, the actual encoder value and the predicted plant response which includes the estimated position and velocity. Zero-padding allows being compliant with the data size used for the plant estimation mode.
Returns
true iff started successfully.

Definition at line 905 of file tuning.cpp.

◆ startStictionEstimation()

bool OnlineCompensatorDesign::startStictionEstimation ( const yarp::os::Property &  options)
virtual

Start off the stiction estimation procedure.

Parameters
optionsproperty containing the estimation options. Available otions are: (max_time <double>) specifies the maximum amount of time for the experiment; all the other options used while configuring the stiction estimator.
Note
if active, the yarp port streams out, respectively, the mode id 2, the commanded voltage, the actual encoder value, the position reference and the the stiction values. Zero-padding allows being compliant with the data size used for plant estimation mode.
Returns
true iff started successfully.

◆ tuneController()

bool OnlineCompensatorDesign::tuneController ( const yarp::os::Property &  options,
yarp::os::Property &  results 
)
virtual

Tune the controller once given the plant characteristics.

The design requirements for the closed loop system are given in terms of bandwidth and properties for disturbance rejection.

The plant is assumed to be in the form:

\( K/\left(s \cdot \left(1+s\tau\right)\right). \)

The controller is in the form:

\( K_p + K_i/s. \)

The tuning is symbolic and by no means affects the gains of the low-level controller.

Parameters
optionsproperty object containing the plant characteristics as well as the design requirements: (tau <double>) (K <double>) (f_c <double>) (T_dr <double>); (type <string>) specifies the controller's architecture which can be "P" or "PI".
resultsproperty containing the design outcome in terms of \( K_p, K_i \) controller's parameters. The property's tags are respectively: Kp, Ki.
Returns
true/false on success/failure.
Note
When designing a P controller the user is required to specify the gain crossover frequency f_c in Hz that represents the frequency at which the open loop response has a unity-gain, corresponding roughly to the closed-loop cut-off frequency regulating the control bandwidth.
When designing a PI controller the integral part is employed separately for disturbance rejection in that it tries to cancel out a step-wise disturbance in a time window specified by T_dr parameter, given in seconds.
Returns
true/false on success/failure.

Definition at line 838 of file tuning.cpp.

◆ waitUntilDone()

bool OnlineCompensatorDesign::waitUntilDone ( )
virtual

Wait until the current ongoing operation is accomplished.

Returns
true iff ongoing operation is finished.
