Quasi-Static Control of Discrete Cosserat Rod
In this paper, we design feedback control laws for soft robots modelled using the Cosserat rod, which is spatially discretised using the Piecewise Constant Strain (PCS) approach. The PCS approach transforms the nonlinear PDEs describing the Cosserat rod to a system of nonlinear ODEs. This simplification results in a model describing soft robots which is similar to the serial rigid-link manipulators. We design feedback control laws for the quasi-static PCS model by using external wrenches as control inputs. The control laws are designed based on state-feedback linearisation in strain and task spaces. An extensive set of numerical results demonstrates the performance of the control laws for end-effector trajectory tracking and shape control of soft robots.
