In order to accommodate the actuator failure, the finite-time stable nonsmooth control method with RBF neural network is used to suppress the structural vibration. The traditional designed control methods neglect influence of actuator failure in structural vibration. By Lyapunov stable theory, the designed control method is demonstrated to suppress the building structural vibration with actuator failure. Finally, there are some examples to numerically simulate the three-layer building structure which is affected by El Centro seismic wave. Control effect of nonsmooth control is compared with no control and LQR control. The simulation results demonstrate that the designed control method is great for vibration of building structure with actuator failure and great antiseismic effect.

Abstract Conventional wheeled platforms provide sufficient locomotion on smooth surfaces but are limited when contending with obstacles such as stairs, steep inclines, or rugged terrain. Legged robots, which are better suited in traversing such obstacles, require an increased number of actuators, and thereby expend more energy. This paper describes the Adaptive Wheel-Leg, AWL, that provides mobile robots with the benefits of both wheels and legs. AWL is a two degree-of-freedom, hybrid wheel-leg topology with instantaneous switching between modes. AWL provides two modes: 1) a single actuator rolling mode for smooth surfaces, and 2) a walking mode for rugged terrain. This paper presents the mechanism’s design and control methods. An experimental model and a simulation of an AWL equipped hexapod are also discussed.

In recent decades a considerable number of mobile robots with different locomotion systems have been developed. This paper is an overview on the designs of mobile robots with hybrid locomotion. Some solutions of hybrid locomotion mechanisms and control methods are presented. Most of the robots included in this category are using wheel-leg mechanisms as locomotion systems. In this way, the efficiency of the leg for moving in rough terrain is combined with the design simplicity and the low energy consumption of the wheel, when the robot is moving on structured environment.
