    Abstract:
    This paper investigates iterative learning control based on passivity for two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) robot manipulators with antagonistic bi-articular muscles. Firstly, a brief summary of dynamics of 2DOF robot manipulators with antagonistic bi-articular muscles is given. Next, an error dynamics of the bi-articular manipulator for iterative learning control that has an output strictly passivity property is constructed. Then, we propose an iterative learning control law for the bi-articular manipulator. The proposed torque input does not need the parameters for the accurate models. Convergence analysis of the closed-loop system is carried out based on passivity. Finally, simulation results are presented in order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control law.

    In this paper, we develop two passivity based control methods by using variances of passivity techniques; they are applicable for a class of systems for which the standard passivity based controllers may be difficult to design. As a preliminary step, we establish the connections among four relevant passivity concepts, namely differential, incremental, Krasovskii's and shifted passivity properties as follows: differential passivity $\implies$ incremental passivity $\implies$ shifted passivity, and differential passivity $\implies$ Krasovskii's passivity. Then, based on our observations, we provide two novel dynamic controllers based on Krasovskii's and shifted passivity properties.

    Passivity and dissipativity are energy-like concepts, widely used in control design, that capture the "energy" consumption of a dynamical system and therefore relate closely to the physical world. Passivity indices of a system are measures of its passivity margins and represent shortage and excess of passivity in a system. With the aid of passivity indices, one can measure how passive a system is, or how far from passivity it is. Passivity indices extend all the analysis and design methods based on passivity to nonpassive systems as well. One of the advantages of using passivity is its tight relationship to stability. Another is its compositionality, which, together with its generality, makes it possible to use passivity in a wide range of complex control systems. In the present entry, an overview of dissipativity and passivity is given. Passivity indices of a system and their relation to stability are defined, and methods to find the indices are presented.

    This chapter provides foundations not only for bilateral teleoperation but also for all of the subsequent chapters. Passivity, stability of dynamical systems, and several passivity-based motion control schemes are introduced.

    Passivity indices are used to measure the excess or shortage of passivity. While most of the work in the literature focuses on stability conditions for interconnected systems using passivity indices, here we focus on passivity and passivation of the feedback interconnection of two input feed-forward output-feedback (IF-OF) passive systems. The conditions are given to determine passivity indices in feedback interconnected systems. The results can be viewed as the extension of the well-known compositional property of passivity. We also consider the passivation problem which can be used to render a non-passive plant passive using a feedback interconnected passive controller. The passivity indices of the passivated system are also determined. The results derived do not require linearity of the systems as it is commonly assumed in the literature.

    Passivity index is defined in terms of an excess or shortage of passivity, and it has been introduced in order to extend the passivity-based stability conditions to the more general cases for both passive and non-passive systems. In this report, we revisit the secant criterion literature results from the perspective of passivity indices. While most of the passivity-based stability results in literature focus on studying the feedback interconnection of passive or non-passive systems, our results focus on the study of cascaded interconnection. In this report, we show how to use the secant criterion to quantify the excess/shortage of passivity for cascaded system which includes both passive and non-passive systems. We further show that under certain conditions, the cascaded interconnection can be directly stabilized via output feedback.

    This paper presents a framework for control design of interconnected nonlinear switched systems using passivity and passivity indices. Background material is presented on the concept of passivity indices for continuously-varying systems. The passivity indices are then generalized to apply to switched systems to measure the level of passivity in a system. The main result of the paper shows how the indices can be compared between two systems in feedback to verify stability. It is explained how this theorem can be used as a control design tool for general nonlinear switched systems. An example is provided to demonstrate this design method. The connection between passivity indices and conic systems theory is summarized in the appendix.

    Passivity is an imperative concept and a widely utilized tool in the analysis and control of interconnected systems. It naturally arises in the modelling of physical systems involving passive elements and dynamics. While many theorems on passivity are known in the theory of robust control, very few converse passivity results exist. This paper establishes various versions of converse passivity theorems for nonlinear feedback systems. In particular, open-loop passivity is shown to be necessary to ensure closed-loop passivity from an input-output perspective. Moreover, the stability of the feedback interconnection of a specific system with an arbitrary passive system is shown to imply passivity of the system itself.

    This paper is devoted to discuss certain aspects of passivity results in dynamic systems and the characterization of the regenerative systems counterparts. In particular, the various concepts of passivity as standard passivity, strict input passivity, strict output passivity and very strict passivity (i.e. joint strict input and output passivity) are given and related to the existence of a storage function and a dissipation function. Later on, the obtained results are related to external positivity of systems and positivity or strict positivity of the transfer matrices and transfer functions in the time-invariant case. On the other hand, it is discussed how to achieve or how eventually to increase the passivity effects via linear feedback by the synthesis of the appropriate feed-forward or feedback controllers or, simply, by adding a positive parallel direct input-output matrix interconnection gain.
