TL;DR: A novel switching control strategy with help of homogeneity, time-rescaling, and Lyapunov-based method is proposed to design a nonsmooth state feedback law such that the controlled chained form system is both LyAPunov stable and finite-time convergent within any given settling time.
Abstract: This note considers finite time stabilization of uncertain chained form systems. The objective is to design a nonsmooth state feedback law such that the controlled chained form system is both Lyapunov stable and finite-time convergent within any given settling time. We propose a novel switching control strategy with help of homogeneity, time-rescaling, and Lyapunov-based method. Also, the simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control design approach.

TL;DR: Based on the recursive method, a new decentralized finite-time controller is designed such that all the state variables reach zero in finite time and the reaching time only depends the control design parameters.
Abstract: The decentralized control problem is considered for a class of nonlinear time-varying interconnected systems. Each subsystem is with the dead-zone input and unmodeled dynamics. The interconnections are bounded by time-varying nonlinear functions, which relaxes the commonly used linear condition or time-invariant condition. Based on the recursive method, we design a new decentralized finite-time controller such that all the state variables reach zero in finite time. The reaching time is based on the design parameters and initial value of system state. Furthermore, the fixed time stability conditions are given and the constructed controller can guarantee the fixed-time stabilization of the system, in which the reaching time only depends the control design parameters. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.

TL;DR: A finite-time cooperative controller is explicitly constructed which guarantees that the states consensus is achieved in a finite time to solve the consensus problem of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots.
Abstract: The consensus problem of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots in the form of high-order chained structure is considered in this paper. Based on the model features and the finite-time control technique, a finite-time cooperative controller is explicitly constructed which guarantees that the states consensus is achieved in a finite time. As an application of the proposed results, finite-time formation control of multiple wheeled mobile robots is studied and a finite-time formation control algorithm is proposed. To show effectiveness of the proposed approach, a simulation example is given.

TL;DR: A class of bounded continuous time-invariant finite-time stabilizing feedback laws is given for the double integrator because Lyapunov theory is used to prove finite- time convergence.
Abstract: A class of bounded continuous time-invariant finite-time stabilizing feedback laws is given for the double integrator. Lyapunov theory is used to prove finite-time convergence. For the rotational double integrator, these controllers are modified to obtain finite-time-stabilizing feedback that avoid "unwinding".

TL;DR: In this article, a class of inherently nonlinear control problems arising directly from physical assumptions about constraints on the motion of a mechanical system is identified and a general procedure for constructing a piecewise analytic state feedback which achieves the desired result is suggested.
Abstract: A class of inherently nonlinear control problems has been identified, the nonlinear features arising directly from physical assumptions about constraints on the motion of a mechanical system. Models are presented for mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints represented both by differential-algebraic equations and by reduced state equations. Control issues for this class of systems are studied and a number of fundamental results are derived. Although a single equilibrium solution cannot be asymptotically stabilized using continuous state feedback, a general procedure for constructing a piecewise analytic state feedback which achieves the desired result is suggested. >

TL;DR: This paper presents a feedback control scheme for the stabilization of two-input, driftless, chained nonholonomic systems, also called chained form, which are controllable but not asymptotically stabilizable by a smooth static-state feedback control law.
Abstract: This paper presents a feedback control scheme for the stabilization of two-input, driftless, chained nonholonomic systems, also called chained form. These systems are controllable but not asymptotically stabilizable by a smooth static-state feedback control law. In addition, exponential stability cannot be obtained with a smooth, time-varying feedback control law. Here, global, asymptotical stability with exponential convergence is achieved about any desired configuration by using a nonsmooth, time-varying feedback control law. The control law depends, in addition to the state and time, on a function which is constant except at predefined instants of time where the function is recomputed as a nonsmooth function of the state. The inputs are differentiable with respect to time and tend exponentially toward zero. For use in the analysis, a lemma on the exponential convergence of a stable time-varying nonlinear system perturbed by an exponentially decaying signal is presented. Simulation results are also shown. >

TL;DR: This paper provides a set of constructive, sufficient conditions for extending smooth, asymptotic stabilizers to homogeneous, exponential stabilizers, and can be extended to a large class of systems with torque inputs.
Abstract: This paper focuses on the problem of exponential stabilization of controllable, driftless systems using time-varying, homogeneous feedback. The analysis is performed with respect to a homogeneous norm in a nonstandard dilation that is compatible with the algebraic structure of the control Lie algebra. It can be shown that any continuous, time-varying controller that achieves exponential stability relative to the Euclidean norm is necessarily non-Lipschitz. Despite these restrictions, we provide a set of constructive, sufficient conditions for extending smooth, asymptotic stabilizers to homogeneous, exponential stabilizers. The modified feedbacks are everywhere continuous, smooth away from the origin, and can be extended to a large class of systems with torque inputs. The feedback laws are applied to an experimental mobile robot and show significant improvement in convergence rate over smooth stabilizers.
