Passivity-based Controllers for a class of hybrid systems with applications to mechanical systems Interacting with their environment
Motivated by applications of systems interacting
with their environments, we study the design of passivitybased
controllers for a class of hybrid systems. Classical and
hybrid-specific notions of passivity along with detectability and
solution conditions are linked to asymptotic stability. These
results are used to design passivity-based controllers following
classical passivity theory. An application, pertaining to a point
mass physically interacting with the environment, illustrates the
definitions and the results obtained throughout this work
