Abstract

In this paper, the application of receding horizon control to a two-link direct drive robot arm is demonstrated. Instead of the terminal constraints, a terminal cost on receding horizon control is used to guarantee the stability, because of the computational demand. The key idea of this paper is to apply the receding horizon control with the terminal cost which is derived from the energy function of the robot system. The energy function is given as the control Lyapunov function by considering the inverse optimality. The experimental results are compared with respect to stability, performance by applying the receding horizon control and the inverse optimal control to the robot arm.
