Join Dr. Spong as he gives an historical account of the origins of passivity-based control with applications in robotics. In particular, he’ll show how the passivity paradigm has enabled fundamental results in bilateral teleoperation, adaptive and robust control, bipedal locomotion, hybrid and switching control, and synchronization of multi-agent systems. Both theoretical and experimental results will be shown.
