Paper doi abstract bibtex 10 downloads This paper addresses the problem of formally guaranteeing the stability of interconnected systems with local controllers with a view toward stabilizing quadrupeds viewed as coupled bipeds. In particular, we present a novel framework that views general rigid-body systems as a collection of lower-dimensional systems that are coupled via reaction forces. Stabilizing the corresponding coupled control system can thus be addressed by stabilizing each subsystem coupled through the passive dynamics. The main results of the paper are stability conditions that guarantee convergence for each control subsystem by formulating coupled control Lyapunov functions (CCLFs) using the notion of input-to-state stability (ISS). This theoretical result is illustrated via a simple cart-pole example, where exponential stability is obtained. Next, building on previous results where an 18-DOF quadrupedal robot is decomposed into two interconnected bipedal systems for efficient periodic gait generation, we design model-free quadratic programs (QPs) using the CCLFs to stabilize the continuous dynamics and thus achieve experimental walking and simulated hopping and running on the Vision 60 quadrupedal robot.
