Introduction to Energy Tanks

Research Overview

In this work we describe and discuss energy tanks, a control algorithm which has gained popularity inside the robotics and control community over the last years. In order to understand in an insightful way the idea behind energy tanks, we introduce it within its originating system theoretic fields, i.e., the port-Hamiltonian framework and passivity-based control.
