Abstract
Big torque inputs in controls could increase energy consumption, and big estimated perturbations in observers could produce device damages. Therefore, it would be interesting to propose a constrained control for safe reference tracking and a constrained observer for safe perturbation estimation in robots. Furthermore, the best gains in controls produce a balance between safe reference tracking and save energy consumption. Therefore, it would be interesting to propose a method to find the best gains. In this paper, an observer-based differential evolution constrained control is proposed for safe reference tracking in robots. The contributions are described as follows: (1) a constrained observer is proposed for safe perturbation estimation in robots, (2) a constrained control is proposed for safe reference tracking in robots, (3) a differential evolution optimizer is used to find the best gains in an observer-based constrained control, (4) the robust stability in an observer-based constrained control is assured, (5) the pseudo-code of an observer-based differential evolution constrained control is detailed. The proposed observer-based differential evolution constrained control is applied for safe reference tracking in two robots.
