Abstract

A vehicle capable of easily translating in an arbitrary direction. A vehicle comprising: wheels composed of two front wheels and two rear wheels; four steering actuators connected to the wheels, respectively, and steering the wheels; four drive actuators connected to the wheels, respectively, and driving the wheels; a joystick ( 64 ) tiltable in an arbitrary direction to perform operation and instructing the operation of the steering actuators; an accelerator pedal ( 63 ) for instructing the operation of the drive actuators; and a controller ( 100 ) which, when the joystick ( 64 ) is tilted, steers the wheels in the direction in which the joystick ( 64 ) is tilted, and when the accelerator pedal ( 63 ) is operated, drives the wheels on the basis of the amount of the operation of the accelerator pedal ( 63 ).

Claims (26)

1. A feedback control method comprising:

using a controller to calculate a first output value by inputting a control amount of a controlled object including a dead time which is a delay time of response about an input into an inverse model of a transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

using the controller to calculate a second output value by subtracting the first output value from the operation amount of the controlled object,

using the controller to calculate a third output value by inputting the second output value into the transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

using the controller to calculate a revised deviation by subtracting the third output value from a deviation, and

using the controller to perform feedback control based on the revised deviation.

2. A feedback control method comprising:

using a controller to calculate a first output value by inputting a control amount of a controlled object including a dead time which is a delay time of response about an input into an inverse model of a transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

using the controller to calculate a second output value by subtracting the first output value from the operation amount of the controlled object

using the controller to calculate a third output value by inputting the second output value into the transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

using the controller to calculate a fourth output value by inputting the third output value into a filter through which only a specific frequency component can pass,

using the controller to calculate a revised deviation by subtracting the fourth output value from a deviation, and

using the controller to perform feedback control based on the revised deviation.

3. A control system comprising a controller that includes memory and one or more processors configured to:

calculate a first output value by inputting a control amount of a controlled object including a dead time which is a delay time of response about an input into an inverse model of a transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

calculate a second output value by subtracting the first output value from the operation amount of the controlled object,

calculate a third output value by inputting the second output value into the transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

calculate a revised deviation by subtracting the third output value from a deviation, and

perform feedback control based on the revised deviation.

4. A control system comprising a controller that includes memory and one or more processors configured to:

calculate a first output value by inputting a control amount of a controlled object including a dead time Which is a delay time of response about an input into an inverse model of a transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

calculate a second output value by subtracting the first output value from the operation amount of the controlled object,

calculate a third output value by inputting the second output value into the transfer function of the controlled object from which the dead time is removed,

calculate a fourth output value by inputting the third output value into a fitter through which only a specific frequency component can pass,

calculate a revised deviation by subtracting the fourth output value from a deviation, and

perform feedback control based on the revised deviation.
