The invention discloses a performance
constraint control method and
system for multi-
robot collaborative carrying of large workpieces. The method comprises the steps that firstly, a unit
quaternion is adopted to establish a
coupling dynamic model containing closed-chain constraint under a task reference coordinate
system; secondly, designing a completely distributed
finite time observer, and performing consistency
estimation on a global reference trajectory only through neighborhood communication; secondly, designing a consistency indicator function based on the estimated value, gradually activating a performance constraint function only after an observation error is converged so as to apply transient and steady-state performance boundaries, and generating an expected motion state of each
robot; and finally, designing a distributed robust adaptive controller to realize trajectory tracking. According to the method, singularity is avoided through
quaternion modeling,
controller design of a task reference coordinate
system is achieved through
rigid body transformation, dependence on a
centroid coordinate system is avoided, the requirement for a priori track is eliminated through a distributed observer, constraint conflicts are avoided through a strategy of'feasibility first and then constraint ', and the robustness of the system is improved. And the safety, the precision and the robustness of collaborative carrying are effectively improved.
