In other words, underactuated robots can be designed with fewer actuators than fully actuated ones. Although an underactuated robot is more complex than a fully actuated robot, it has many advantages, such as energy, material, and space saving. Therefore, it has high research value in both control theory and practical applications. Swing-up is a mechanism with two links, which mimics a gymnast performing a horizontal bar movement. Over the past few decades, many sufficiently robust control techniques have been developed for a fully actuated robot but almost none of them can be directly applicable to an underactuated robot system. The reason is that such control techniques require certain assumptions that are valid only for fully actuated robot systems but not for underactuated ones. In this paper, a control system design method for underactuated robots based on operator theory and an isomorphism scheme is first proposed. Bezout identity is designed using isomorphism. The effectiveness of the design method is confirmed by simulation. The simulation results show that the performances, such as robust stability and response time, of an underactuated robot control system are improved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms10020062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,16]],"date-time":"2021-04-16T10:20:11Z","timestamp":1618568411000},"page":"62","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nonlinear Control System Design of an Underactuated Robot Based on Operator Theory and Isomorphism Scheme"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7411-6602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingcong","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16 Nakacho, Koganei, Tokyo 184-8588, Japan"}]},{"given":"Shotaro","family":"Kubota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16 Nakacho, Koganei, Tokyo 184-8588, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1177\/1729881419862164","article-title":"Underactuated robotics: A review","volume":"16","author":"He","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
