Abstract:
Event-triggered control (ETC) is a sampling strategy that updates the control value only when some events related to the state of the system occurs. It therefore relaxes the periodicity of control updates without deteriorating the closed-loop performance. This paper develops a nonlinear ETC for the stabilization of a (3,0) mobile robot. The construction of an event function and a feedback function is carried out based on the existence of a stabilizing control law and a Control Lyapunov Function (CLF). The event function is dependent on the time derivative of the CLF and the feedback function results from the extension of Sontag's formula, which ensures asymptotic stability, smoothness everywhere and continuity at the equilibrium. Experimental results, compared with a computed torque control, validate the theoretical analysis.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
