Abstract

This paper considers the linear controllability and observability of an n-link planar robot with multiple actuators. The controllability and observability around the upright equilibrium point (UEP) are investigated. Specific properties of the mechanical parameters are extracted to demonstrate that when there are two adjacent active links, the robot is linearly controllable and observable at the UEP, regardless of its mechanical parameters. When there are no active links adjacent to each other, a sufficient and necessary condition is established to ensure the controllability and observability at the UEP. This paper provides insights into the linear controllability and observability of an n-link planar robot for different actuator-sensor configurations.
