Optimal Control of a Magnetically Suspended Under Actuated Robot for Swing-Up Motion

This paper describes the analysis, design, and implementation of an under-actuated robot control system for swing up motion. The robot, called the “Mag-Foot” robot, uses permanent magnets to adhere to steel surfaces. This robot uses a novel tilting foot design for locomotion and can swing over small...
