AI summary

Provided is a method for calculating a control attainable set of a redundant drive system under a linear constraint, which relates to the technical field of dynamics control allocation of the redundant drive system. The method first constructs a control attainable set problem for a redundant drive system under each pair of linear constraint control components, and then classifies boundary surfaces corresponding to a control set into three types of rectangular boundary surfaces and one type of triangular boundary surface. By grouping the boundary surfaces, the method determines a key boundary surface for each group to form a boundary surface set. After removing duplicate boundary surfaces from the boundary surface set, the method calculates a boundary surface of a control attainable set, and finally obtains the control attainable set.
