This study is dedicated to achieve landing posture control of a generalized twin-body system using the methods of input-output linearization and computed torque. The twin-body system is a simplified model of bipedal robot, and the success in landing posture control would prevent structural damage. To the end, the dynamic equations are built based on Newton-Euler formulation. The technique of input-output linearization is next applied to the original nonlinear equations of motion, which is followed by adopting the method of computed torque to achieve desired landing postures. While designing the controller, system singularities are circumvented by choosing controllable set of initial conditions and stable landing postures. There are two uncontrollable postures that are immovable under input torques or/and the coupling centripetal and Coriolis forces. Finally, simulation results show that the designed controller is capable of performing desired landing posture control.

In this work, a new control method for uncertain processes is developed based on two-degree-of-freedom control structure. The setpoint tracking controller designed by input/output linearization technique is used to regulate the disturbance-free output and the disturbance rejection controller designed is designed by high-gain technique. The advantage of two-degree-of-freedom control structure is that setpoint tracking and load disturbance rejection controllers can be designed separately. Open-loop observer is applied to provide disturbance-free response for setpoint tracking controller. The process/disturbance-free model mismatches are fed to the disturbance rejection controller for reducing effect of disturbance. To evaluate the control performance, the proposed control method is applied through the example of a continuous stirred tank reactor with unmeasured input disturbances and random noise kinetic parametric uncertainties. The simulation results show that both types of disturbances can be effectively compensated by the proposed control method.
