Observer-based adaptive fuzzy finite-time prescribed performance tracking control for strict-feedback systems with input dead-zone and saturation

This paper considers the problems of finite-time prescribed performance tracking control for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with input dead-zone and saturation simultaneously. The unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by fuzzy logic systems and the unmeasurable states are estimated by designing a fuzzy state observer. In addition, a non-affine smooth function is used to approximate the non-smooth input dead-zone and saturated nonlinearity, and it is varied to the affine form via the mean value theorem. An adaptive fuzzy output feedback controller is developed by backstepping control method and Nussbaum gain method. It guarantees that the tracking error falls within a pre-set boundary at finite time and all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded. The simulation results illustrate the feasibility of the design scheme.

     

Adaptive robust fuzzy control for a class of uncertain chaotic systems

In this paper, the output feedback control of uncertain chaotic systems is addressed via an adaptive robust fuzzy approach. Fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate uncertain nonlinear functions in the chaotic systems. Because only partial information of the system’s states is needed to be known, an observer is given to estimate the unmeasured states. Compared with the existing results in the observer design, the prior knowledge on dynamic uncertainties is relaxed and a class of more general chaotic systems is considered as well as robustness to the approximation error is improved. It can be proven that the closed-loop system is stable in the sense that all the variables are bounded. Simulation example for the unified chaotic systems is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fuzzy adaptive output feedback control for robotic systems based on fuzzy adaptive observer

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive output feedback control scheme based on fuzzy adaptive observer is proposed to control robotic systems with parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. It is supposed that only the joint positions of the robotic system can be measured, whereas the joint velocities are unknown and unmeasured. First, a fuzzy adaptive nonlinear observer is presented to estimate the joint velocities of robotic systems, and the observation errors are analyzed using strictly positive real approach and Lyapunov stability theory. Next, based on the observed joint velocities, a fuzzy adaptive output feedback controller is developed to guarantee stability of closed-loop system and achieve a certain tracking performance. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, it is proved that all the signals in closed-loop system are bounded. Finally, simulation examples on a two-link robotic manipulator are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed method.

This paper develops two novel decentralized adaptive fuzzy control methods of large-scale nonaffine uncertain nonlinear systems. By using a fuzzy inference system and implicit function theorem, a decentralized direct adaptive state feedback fuzzy control algorithm is firstly presented for a class of large-scale nonaffine continuous-time systems. By using a high-gain observer to reconstruct the system states, an extension is made to a decentralized output feedback control of unmeasurable interactive nonaffine systems. The decentralized adaptive fuzzy control schemes via state and output feedback guarantee the stability of the closed-loop large-scale systems. The effectiveness of the developed approaches is demonstrated through simulation results of a platoon of vehicles within an automated highway system.     

Adaptive fuzzy output-feedback control of uncertain SISO nonlinear systems

The output-feedback control problem of a class of uncertain SISO nonlinear systems is investigated based on an indirect adaptive fuzzy approach. Because the system states are not required to be available for measurement, an observer is designed to estimate the system states. Compared with the existing results in the observer design, the main advantages of the proposed adaptive fuzzy output-feedback control approach are as follows: (1) It does not require to assume that the sign of the control gain coefficient is known and Nussbaum-gain technique is utilized to control the nonlinear systems with both the unknown control direction and the unmeasured states; (2) The observer in this paper is designed for the states rather than the tracking errors, then it is convenient to compute; (3) The controller singularity problem is perfectly avoided. The stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed by using Lyapunov method. A simulation example is given to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.     

Reduced-order observer-based backstepping tracking control for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems

In this paper, an output feedback tracking control scheme is put forwarded for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems, whose dynamics involve not only unknown parameters but also unmeasured states multiplied by output nonlinearities. A type of reduced-order observer is first developed. By adding some output related items in the observer, the estimation error realize global asymptotic convergence under disturbance free condition, and global bounded convergence when considering disturbance. Besides, the dimension of the closed-loop system is reduced, and the update law of this observer gain is beneficial for steady tracking. After the observer was established, the controller is constructed by employing the adaptive backstepping approach, and a smooth nonsingular robust item is proposed to handle the influence of stochastic disturbance. All the signals in the closed system is proved to be globally bounded in probability. Moreover the output tracking error converges to an arbitrary small neighborhood of the origin by proper choosing of the design parameters. The simulation results based on current control scheme and the comparison with the previous method illustrate that the proposed output feedback scheme realizes good tracking performance and strong ability on stochastic disturbance attenuation.     

Adaptive fuzzy output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear systems with nonsymmetric dead-zone input

In this paper, we present an adaptive control scheme for a class of uncertain nonlinear system with unknown nonsymmetric dead-zone nonlinearity. It is assumed that the system states are unmeasurable. Therefore, an observer is designed to estimate those unmeasured states. The controller is designed by using the backstepping control design procedure. The proposed adaptive scheme requires only the information that the dead-zone slopes are bounded. The new control scheme ensures bounded-error trajectory tracking and the boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop. The feasibility is investigated by an illustrative simulation example.     

Adaptive output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear chaotic systems based on dynamic surface control technique

In this paper, an adaptive output feedback control algorithm based on the dynamic surface control (DSC) is proposed for a class of uncertain chaotic systems. Because the system states are assumed to be unavailable, an observer is designed to estimate those unavailable states. The main advantage of this algorithm can overcome the problem of “explosion of complexity” inherent in the backstepping design. Thus, the proposed control approach is simpler than the traditional backstepping control for the uncertain chaotic systems. The stability analysis shows that the system is stable in the sense that all signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) and the system output can track the reference signal to a bounded compact set. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.     

Explicit ultimate bound sets of a new hyperchaotic system and its application in estimating the Hausdorff dimension

The robust adaptive fuzzy control problem is investigated for a single machine bus system with static var compensator (SVC). This design does not require that speed of the generator rotor and susceptance of the overall system are measured, and also does not require that the parameters of controlled system are known accurately. The fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the nonlinear functions of the system, and a fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate the speed of the generator rotor and susceptance. By utilizing the fuzzy state observer, and combining the adaptive backstepping technique with adaptive fuzzy control design, an observer-based adaptive fuzzy output-feedback control approach is developed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB), and the angle of the generator rotor follows a desired value. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach.

Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate unknown nonlinearities, and then a fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate the immeasurable states. By combining the adaptive backstepping design with dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, a fuzzy adaptive output-feedback backstepping control approach is developed.

Two key advantages of our scheme are that (i)?the proposed control method does not require that the link velocity and actuator velocity of single-link flexible-joint robot be measured directly, and (ii)?the problem of ??explosion of complexity?? is avoided.     

Property and evolution of the running-in attractor in an actual dynamic system

In this paper, the issue of adaptive neural tracking control for uncertain switched multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonstrict-feedback nonlinear systems with average dwell time is studied. The system under consideration includes unknown dead-zone inputs and output constraints. The uncertain nonlinear functions are identified via neural networks. Also, neural networks-based switched observer is constructed to approximate all unmeasurable states. By means of the information for dead-zone slopes and barrier Lyapunov function (BLF), the problems of dead-zone inputs and output constraints are tackled. Furthermore, dynamic surface control (DSC) scheme is employed to ensure that the computation burden is greatly reduced. Then, an observer-based adaptive neural control strategy is developed on the basis of backstepping technique and multiple Lyapunov functions approach. Under the designed controller, all the signals existing in switched closed-loop system are bounded, and system outputs can track the target trajectories within small bounded errors. Finally, the feasibility of the presented control algorithm is proved via simulation results.

     

Decentralized adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller for?a?class of large-scale nonlinear systems

In the previous work of Huang et al., a coordinated decentralized hybrid adaptive output feedback fuzzy control scheme of large-scale nonlinear systems is obtained predicated upon this prerequisite assumption that the local controllers can share the a priori information about their individual reference models. In this note, we concentrate in the absence of the coordination assumption on developing a classical decentralized combined indirect and direct adaptive fuzzy controller for a class of uncertain large-scale nonlinear systems. The output feedback and adaptation mechanisms proposed for each subsystem hinges just upon its individual output, regardless of any other output reference. Neither the famous strictly positive real (SPR) condition nor a high-gain observer (HGO) is required to realize the overall output feedback algorithm. The tracking errors of the closed-loop large-scale system are shown to converge to tunable neighborhoods of the origin. Simulation results on correlated inverted pendulums verify the validity of the decentralized controller modification.

Adaptive control of nonlinear zero-bias current magnetic bearing system

The electromagnetic force generated by a magnetic bearing is highly nonlinear and parametric uncertainties in calculation of magnetic force makes the control of magnetic bearings complicated. Zero-bias current magnetic bearings have the potential to reduce power losses because only one electromagnet of the pair is operational at any given time. In this study, an adaptive control is proposed to compute nonlinear control currents of zero-bias magnetic bearing by accepting that the rotor and bearing parameters are unknown. The nonlinear observers are used to provide the estimate of the unmeasured state with an exponentially convergent error decay since the full state of the control system is not available for the feedback. The proposed approach is verified by simulation and experiment.
