This paper discusses the problem of achieving stable walking of a compass gait biped robot on a slope. A reference trajectory for stable walking is generated using Lagrangian dynamics of the biped robot. It is shown that an underactuated robot can follow the reference trajectory using a control law based on feedback linearization with respect to both hip and ankle joints. The results are compared in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE). The validity of the proposed controller is carried out using simulation studies.

A discrete-time backstepping controller with an active disturbance attenuation property for the Inverted-Pendulum system is constructed in this paper. The main purpose of this study is to show that Immersion and Invariance (I & I) approach can be used to design a nonlinear observer for disturbance estimation and demonstrate its effectiveness considering a nonlinear system with an unstable equilibrium point, namely Inverted-Pendulum system, by utilizing the estimated values in backstepping control design. All designs are directly performed in discrete-time domain to obtain directly implementable observer and controller in discrete processors with superior performance compared to emulators. The Inverted-Pendulum system is not in strict feedback form therefore backstepping procedure cannot be directly applied. In order to enable backstepping construction, firstly a partial feedback linearization is performed and afterwards a novel discrete-time coordinate transformation is proposed. Prior to the construction of partial feedback linearizing and backstepping controller, a nonlinear disturbance estimator design is proposed with Immersion and Invariance approach. The estimated disturbance values used in the partial feedback linearization and construction of the backstepping controller. The global asymptotic stability of the estimator and local asymptotic stability of overall closed loop system are proved in the sense of Lyapunov. Performance of proposed direct discrete-time backstepping control with discrete I & I observer is compared with a backstepping sliding mode controller with another nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) by simulations.
