Feedback design for 3D movement of an Eel-like robot
Résumé
This paper relates recent advances in the design of feedback laws for the 3D movement of an Eel-like robot. Such a robot is under construction in the context of a national French robotic project. The proposed feedback enables the tracking of a desired 3D position of the Eel head as well as the stabilization of the rolling angle. A velocity controller is also proposed. The controller is tested on a recently developed complete 3D model in order to assess its efficiency in tackling 3D manoeuvres.
