Abstract

We present a complete synthesis method for time-optimal rest-to-rest motions of an elastic joint system with bounded torque input. An equivalence with the two-body problem in classical mechanics is highlighted, allowing to introduce a change of coordinates that reduces the problem to a pair of decoupled one-body problems. In place of the original coupled fourth-order dynamics, the motion of two equivalent masses has to be synchronized in separate phase spaces. The solution is provided in closed form by following purely geometric arguments, and verifies the standard optimality conditions. The obtained control is a bang-bang policy with either one or three switchings, depending on the dynamic parameters and the required displacement. One-switching solutions are called natural motions for the system: given a set of dynamic parameters, they cover the displacement space in a sparse way. Natural motions are the only instances when minimum-time solutions for the elastic and the equivalent rigid joint system match, whereas the rigid system is faster for all other optimal rest-to-rest motions.
