| contents | Stabilizing underactuated systems is an inherently challenging control task due to fundamental limitations on how the control input affects the unactuated dynamics. Decomposing the system into actuated (output) and unactuated (zero) coordinates provides useful insight as to how input enters the system dynamics. In this work, we leverage the structure of this decomposition to formalize the idea of Zero Dynamics Policies (ZDPs) -- a mapping from the unactuated coordinates to desired actuated coordinates. Specifically, we show that a ZDP exists in a neighborhood of the origin, and prove that combining output stabilization with a ZDP results in stability of the full system state. We detail a constructive method of obtaining ZDPs in a neighborhood of the origin, and propose a learning-based approach which leverages optimal control to obtain ZDPs with much larger regions of attraction. We demonstrate that such a paradigm can be used to stabilize the canonical underactuated system of the cartpole, and showcase an improvement over the nominal performance of LQR. |
