center of mass, center of gravity, zero moment point, etc, like Sugihara et al. (2002), Kajita et al. (2003), Wieber (2006), Williams et al. (2013). In order to obtain the references for each link of the robot it is necessary the use of methods such as the analytic solution of inverse kinematics (Kajita et al., 2014). Once having the trajectories to track, it is designed a control law in order to do the tracking, which is required to be robust against disturbances. These performance can be achieved by means of a sub-optimal control law using the H∞ norm. In this work we present the development of a sub-optimal discrete time control law using H∞ norm for electromechanical systems modeled by Euler-Lagrange. This law is applied to a bipedal robot in order to do reference tracking for each link actuator. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a sub-optimal discrete-time H∞ controller for electromechanical systems, unlike Loukianov et al. (2009) that works in continuous time. This controller is applied to a bipedal robot to do the tracking for joint walking references. In Section 2 the mathematical background is presented, this includes a brief description of the H∞ control technique, including differential game theory and the development of the discrete time Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation. In Section 3 the main problem to solve is stated and the conditions for the system and the disturbance are asserted. Section 4 deals with the synthesis of the robust discrete time H∞ controller for a perturbed electromechanical system modeled by Euler-Lagrange formulation. Section 5 shows the application of the H∞ control to a bipedal robot in order to track the references for each joint in a walking routine. In Section 6 there is made a comparison of our proposed controller with a controller from the literature that uses H∞ in continuous time, the simulation results are shown and the Mean Squared Error is also calculated and displayed. Finally, the conclusions and future work are presented in Section 7. 2. MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 H∞ -Control and Differential Game Theory. The role of game theory in the design of robust (minimax) controllers is stated in Basar and Bernhard (2008). The goal is to minimize a given performance index under worst possible perturbations or parameter variations (which maximize the same performance index). This gametheoretic approach requires the setting of differential games, which seems to be the most natural. This is so because the original H∞ -optimal control problem is a minimax optimization problem, and hence a zero-sum game, where the controller is viewed as the minimizing player 1 and the perturbation as the maximizing player 2. Consider the following system: e¯i,k+1 =Ai e¯i,k + Bi υi,k + Bi f¯i,k zi,k =Ci e¯i,k + Di υi,k , with the finite horizon cost N    J(υi,k , f¯i,k ) = (zi,k  − γi2 f¯i,k ), k=0

(1)

∗ which will be minimized by the control υi,k = υi,k ∗ (player1) and maximized by the perturbation f¯i,k = f¯i,k (player2), respectively; where zi,k is the unknown output to be controlled, i = 1, 2, CiT Di = 0 and γ is a positive real number γ > 0.

Suppose there exists a positive definite matrix Pi , and a positive function V (¯ eik ) = 12 e¯Ti,k Pi e¯i,k . Then, the discrete time Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation results ∗ ∗ + Bi f¯i,k ) − V (¯ ei,k )+ Hi =V (Ai e¯i,k + Bi υi,k    1  ∗  ∗  + (Ci e¯i,k + Di υi,k − γi2 f¯i,k )<0 2   ∂ 2 Hi Ri,11 Ri,12 (2) Ri = = = Ri,21 Ri,22 ∂(υi,k , f¯i,k )2  T  BiT Pi Bi B P B + DiT Di = i i Ti , B i Pi B i BiT Pi Bi − γi2 I such that L1) Ri,11 > 0 and Ri,22 − Ri,21 Ri,11 −1 Ri,12 < 0.

4. ROBUST TRACKING CONTROL USING H∞ In this section is developed a tracking control using the Block Control (BC) technique (Loukianov, 2002) and H∞ described in Section 2. Step 1. The state x1,k of the system (5) will track the reference x1ref . In this work we assume the references to be unknown and to fill the following condition:    dx1ref (t)   ≤ d2 ,  (6) x1ref (t) ≤ d1 ,   dt

where x1ref (t) is the reference, d1 > 0 is a constant and d2 > 0 is a constant. These bounds are assumed to be known. The tracking error is presented as e1,k = x1,k − x1ref,k .

The dynamics for error e1,k is obtained using (5).The introduction of the integral term e01,k+1 results in e01,k+1 =e01,k + δe1,k e1,k+1 =e1,k + δx2,k + f¯1,k ,

(7)

where f¯1,k is the derivative of the reference, considered as an unknown unmatched perturbation. Following the BC technique, the variable x2,k , considered in (7) as a virtual control, is selected to compensate the known terms and to introduce the new desired dynamics (8) δx2,k = −e1,k + L0 e01,k + L1 e1,k + υ1,k , where υ1,k is an auxiliary virtual control, that will be designed to reject the unknown perturbation f¯1,k . Thus, substituting (8) in (7), yields   e (9) e¯1,k+1 = 01,k+1 = A1 e¯1,k + B1 (υ1,k + f¯1,k ), e1,k+1 with

A1 =

Step 2. Using the transformation (12), a straightforward algebraic manipulation reveals e2,k+1 = g(¯ e1,k , e2,k ) + δ 2 M (·)−1 τk + f¯2,k , (15) where g(·) = − [δM (·)−1 C(·) + (L1 + F1 − In )](L0 + F0 )e01,k − − [δM (·)−1 C(·)(L1 + F1 − In ) + δ(L0 + F0 )+ + (L1 + F1 − In )2 ]e1,k − [δM (·)−1 C(·)+ + (L1 + F1 − 2In )]e2,k − δ 2 M (·)−1 G(·), f¯2,k = − (L1 + F1 − In )f¯1,k + δ 2 M (·)−1 fk . Let us now choose the control τk in (15) to cancel the dynamical term g(¯ e1,k , e2,k ) and introduce the new dynamics L2 e02,k + L3 e2,k , i.e., δ 2 M (·)−1 τk = −g(¯ e1,k , e2,k )+L2 e02,k +L3 e2,k +υ2,k , (16) where υ2,k is a auxiliary control and L2 and L3 are design parameters used to alleviate solving (3). Introducing the integral term e02,k+1 = e02,k + δe2,k , and substituting (16) in (15) results in   e02,k+1 = A2 e¯02,k + B2 (υ2,k + f¯2,k ), (17) e¯2,k+1 = e2,k+1

where

A2 =



   In δIn 0 , B2 = n . L2 L3 In

Using the solution F2 of (4), the auxiliary control υ2,k is defined as υ2,k = F2 e¯2,k . (18) Now, substituting (18) in (17) yields e2,k + B2 f¯2,k . e¯2,k+1 = (A2 + B2 F2 )¯

(19)

The dynamical error system in close-loop (see (14) and (19)) is presented as follows   e¯ ek + B f¯k , e¯k+1 = 1,k+1 = A¯ (20) e¯2,k+1

To give robustness to subsystem (9) against the perturbation f¯1,k , the optimal robust control technique from Lin and Byrnes (1996) is applied. The desired value υ1d,k of the virtual control υ1,k in (9) is thus chosen in the form (10) υ1d,k = F1 e¯1,k = F0 e01,k + F1 e1,k , where F1 result of (4) (see Subsection 2.1).

where

The design parameters L0 and L1 are additionally used to alleviate solving the Riccati equation (3).

From the sub-optimal H∞ control methodology (Lin and Byrnes, 1996), it follows that the feedback, which is designed based on proper solutions of the Riccati equations (3), attenuates the influence of the external disturbances fk on the output tracking error e1,k , e1,k = x1,k − x1ref,k .

If the new variable (11) e2,k = υ1,k − υ1d,k , is introduced, then substituting υ1,k = δx2,k + e1,k − L0 e01,k −L1 e1,k , (8) and (10) in (11) results in the following transformation: e2,k = δx2,k − (L0 + F0 )e01,k − (L1 + F1 − In )e1,k , (12) which is equivalent to δx2,k = (L0 + F0 )e01,k + (L1 + F1 − In )e1,k + e2,k . (13) By substituting (13) in (7) or its equivalent (9), one derives e1,k + B1 (e02,k + f¯1,k ). (14) e¯1,k+1 = (A1 + B1 F1 )¯

The reference for each link was obtained from a path generator that uses limited knowledge of the plant (Harada et al., 2004) and the analytic inverse kinematics solution (Kajita et al., 2014). Having the references for the ZMP and CoG the use of the analytic solution of the inverse kinematic proposed in (Kajita et al., 2014) gave us the set of references for each link of the bipedal robot. The results are show in Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The aim of these controllers is to do tracking in each link of a manipulator robot, while rejecting the effect of external perturbations over the plant. The work by Chavez-Guzm´an et al. (2015) introduces a controller for a n-DOF manipulator robot in continuous time. Once obtained, the control law is applied to a 3DOF manipulator (shown in Fig. 7). The main difference is that the controller proposed in our work is designed in

Fig. 6. The disturbance fk (N m). discrete time for the discretized model and applied to the continuous time system. In order to compare the performance of the controller proposed in this work with the controllers in the literature, it was applied to the 3-DOF manipulator under the perturbation   πcos(2πt) ω(t) = πcos(2π2t) N m πcos(2π3t) which is the one used in Chavez-Guzm´ an et al. (2015) with an amplitude 10 times bigger. The tracking for each joint reference is presented in the Fig. 8. The dotted line is the tracking performed by the work of Chavez-Guzm´ an et al. (2015) The continuous line is the tracking using our proposed controller, the dashed line is the reference for each joint given in Rad. From Fig. 8 is observed that our proposed controller reaches the reference faster and that the disturbance is better rejected, since the effect of it is more noticeable when the controller proposed by Chavez-Guzm´ an et al. (2015) is applied. The reference vector is the following:   π x1ref = 3π/4 rad. 5π/9 The Fig. 9 shows the Mean Squared Error (MSE) for each tracking control. The dashed line is the MSE for the tracking control using the controller proposed by ChavezGuzm´ an et al. (2015) and the solid line is the MSE using our controller.

The controller was derived making use of the discrete equations of HamiltonJacobi-Isaacs, and, the Riccati equations. The proposed control law was designed in two steps by means of the Block Control technique. The control law is robust and capable of rejecting unknown external disturbances while maintaining acceptable control signals.

Although it is necessary for the derivative of the reference to be bounded, the controller does not need to know the value of this bound, meaning that the derivative of the reference may be unknown. The H∞ discrete-time controller was formulated from the perspective of the differential game theory, considering the control signal as one player, and the disturbance as the second player, the role of one player is to maximize a given performance index, while the other player tries to minimize this index. The controller was applied in simulation to a discretetime bipedal robot model. The aim of the controller was to do the tracking for reference signals for each link of the biped. These signals were obtained from a path generator and the use of the analytic solution of the inverse kinematics. The system was simulated under an external force as disturbance. The results displayed the successful disturbance rejection, the plots showed the controller to be ultimately bounded for non-vanishing disturbances. Finally, the performance of the discrete-time controller was compared with the performance of a continuous-time H∞ controller from the literature. The comparison was made using the model of a 3-DOF manipulator. From the simulation it was observed that the controller proposed in this work reached the reference faster with a smaller error, even though the controllers were both applied to a continuous-time system. The application to robots with a higher number of DOF and the implementation in real time is left as future work, as well as an extension of the control law in order to do adaptive control, in order to apply it to plants with unknown parameters.
