Robust dynamic surface control of nonlinear systems with prescribed performance

In this paper, a robust dynamic surface controller with prescribed performance for a class of nonlinear feedback systems is proposed. Utilizing the prescribed performance control (PPC), the prescribed steady state and transient performance for the tracking error of the original system can be ensured through the stabilization of a transformed system. The dynamic surface control procedure solves the mismatched uncertainties and the explosion of the complexity problem. The uncertainties can be eliminated by the constructed compensation signals of a low-pass filter. And it is proven in the performance analysis that the proposed controller is of low complexity and has improved system robustness. Simulation results verify the proposed approach.

Decentralized adaptive neural control of nonlinear systems with unknown time delays

In this paper, a novel decentralized adaptive neural control scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear time-delay systems. RBF neural networks (NNs) are used to tackle unknown nonlinear functions, then the decentralized adaptive NN tracking controller is constructed by combining Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions and the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique along with the minimal-learning-parameters (MLP) algorithm. The proposed controller guarantees semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness (SGUUB) of all the signals in the closed-loop large-scale system, while the tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. An advantage of the proposed control scheme lies in that the number of adaptive parameters for each subsystem is reduced to one, and three problems of “computational explosion,” “dimension curse” and “controller singularity” are solved, respectively. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed scheme.     

Fuzzy adaptive dynamic surface control for a single-link flexible-joint robot

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive controller is proposed for a single-link flexible-joint robot. 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. It is proved that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB), and both the observer and tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriate choosing the design parameters. The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. 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.     

Adaptive dynamic surface control for cooperative path following of marine surface vehicles with input saturation

This paper considers the cooperative path following problem of multiple marine surface vehicles subject to input saturation, unknown dynamical uncertainty and unstructured ocean disturbances, and partial knowledge of the reference velocity. The control design is categorized into two envelopes. Path following for each vehicle amounts to reducing an appropriately defined geometric error. Vehicles coordination is achieved by exchanging the path variables, as determined by the communications topology adopted. The control design is developed with the aid of the neural network-based dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, an auxiliary design, and a distributed estimator. The key features of the developed controllers are as follows. First, the neural network-based adaptive DSC technique allows for handling the unknown dynamical uncertainty and ocean disturbances without the need for explicit knowledge of the model, and at the same time simplify the cooperative path following controllers by introducing the first-order filters. Second, input saturations are incorporated into the cooperative path following design, and the stability of the modified control solution is verified. Third, the amount of communications is reduced effectively due to the distributed speed estimator, which means the global knowledge of the reference speed is relaxed. Under the proposed controllers, all signals in the closed-loop system are guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results validate the performance and robustness improvement of the proposed strategy.     

Indirect adaptive robust dynamic surface control in separate meter-in and separate meter-out control system

With the demand for energy efficiency in electrohydraulic servo systems (EHSS), the separate meter-in and separate meter-out (SMISMO) control system draws massive attention. In this paper, the SMISMO control system is decoupled completely into two subsystems by the proposed indirect adaptive robust dynamic surface control (IARDSC) method. Indirect adaptive robust control (IARC) is proposed to address the internal parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Dynamic surface control (DSC) is utilized in the design procedure of IARC to deal with the inherent ‘explosion of terms’ problem. The proposed IARDSC simplifies the design procedure and decreases the computational cost of the controller. Besides, a faster parameter estimation scheme is proposed to adapt to the parameter change for a better estimation performance. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed IARDSC can achieve a good parameter estimation and trajectory tracking performance. Meanwhile, two energy saving techniques are discussed.

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.

     

Robust adaptive intelligent sliding model control for a class of uncertain chaotic systems with unknown time-delay

In this paper, a robust adaptive intelligent sliding model control (RAISMC) scheme for a class of uncertain chaotic systems with unknown time-delay is proposed. A sliding surface dynamic is appropriately constructed to guarantee the reachability of the specified sliding surface. Within this scheme, neuro-fuzzy network (NFN) is utilized to approximate the unknown continuous function. The robust controller is an adaptive controller used to dispel the unknown uncertainty and approximation errors. The adaptive parameters of the control system are tuned on-line by the derived adaptive laws based on a Lyapunov stability analysis. Using appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii (L–K) functional in the Lyapunov function candidate, the uncertainty caused by unknown time delay is compensated and the global asymptotic stability of the error dynamics system in the specified switching surface is accomplished. Finally, the proposed RAISMC system is applied to control a Hopfield neural network, Cellular neural networks, Rössler system, and to achieve synchronization between the Chen system with two time delays with Rössler system without time delay. The results are representative of outperformance of the proposed method in all cases.     

Decentralized control of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems based on DSC

In this paper, the decentralized stabilization control approach based on the dynamic surface control (DSC) is proposed for a class of large-scale interconnected stochastic nonlinear systems. The proposed approach combined the existing dynamic surface control (DSC) with back-stepping technique. This approach can overcome the problem of “explosion of complexity” inherent in the back-stepping method. Thus, the proposed control approach is simpler than the traditional back-stepping control method for the large-scale interconnected stochastic nonlinear systems. The stability analysis shows that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.     

Design of fractional robust adaptive intelligent controller for uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems based on active control technique

In this paper, a robust fractional-order adaptive intelligent controller is proposed for stabilization of uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems. The intelligent neuro-fuzzy network is used to estimate unknown dynamics of system, while the neuro-fuzzy network parameters as well as the upper bounds of the model uncertainties, disturbances and approximation errors are adaptively estimated via separate adaptive rules. An SMC scheme, with a fractional-order sliding surface, is employed, as the controller to improve the velocity and performance of the proposed control system and to eliminate the unknown but bounded uncertainties, external disturbances and approximation errors. The Lyapunov stability theorem has been also employed to show the stability of the closed-loop system, robustness against uncertainties, external disturbances and approximation errors, while the control signal remains bounded. Explanatory examples and simulation results are given to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed procedure, which consent well with the analytical results.     

Adaptive Neural Network Control for a DC Motor System with Dead-Zone

In this paper, an adaptive control strategy for tracking of a direct-current (DC) motor system with a dead-zone is developed. The main contribution of the developed scheme is that we successfully integrate an asymmetric barrier Lyapunov function approach to relax the requirements on the initial conditions. The unknown functions in the DC system are approximated by using the radial basis function neural networks (RBFNN). It is shown that the DC motor can follow a selected trajectory and all the signals are guaranteed to be bounded. Simulation results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control.     

A robust attitude control strategy with guaranteed transient performance via modified Lyapunov-based control and integral sliding mode control

In this paper, a robust control strategy with guaranteed transient performance is presented for spacecraft attitude maneuvers. Firstly, a Lyapunov-based controller is designed to achieve high-performance attitude control in the absence of disturbance and parameter variation. Unlike most existing designs, the feedback gains in the proposed controller increase with the attitude error convergence. Consequently, the system response can be accelerated without increasing the control torque at large attitude error. The overshooting phenomenon is also avoided by imposing a restriction on the parameter selection. Then, the integral sliding mode control technique is employed to preserve the desired transient characteristics and improve the robustness. Furthermore, by combining an adaptive scheme with the boundary layer method, the conservativeness in the switching gain selection is reduced and the chattering is also suppressed. Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.     

System modeling and tracking control of mobile manipulator subjected to dynamic interaction and uncertainty

Trajectory tracking of a mobile manipulator is a challenging research because of its complex nonlinearity and dynamics. This paper presents an adaptive control strategy for trajectory tracking of a mobile manipulator system that consists of a wheeled platform and a modular manipulator. When a robot system moves in the presence of sliding, it is difficult to accurately track its trajectory by applying the backstepping approach, even if we employ a non-ideal kinematic model. To address this problem, we propose using a combination of adaptive fuzzy control and backstepping approach based on a dynamic model. The proposed control scheme considers the dynamic interaction between the platform and manipulator. To accurately track the trajectory, we propose a fuzzy compensator in order to compensate for modeling uncertainties such as friction and external disturbances. Moreover, to reduce approximation errors and ensure system stability, we include a robust term to the adaptive control law. Simulation results obtained by comparing several cases reveal the presence of the dynamic interaction and confirm the robustness of the designed controller. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed control strategy to counteract the modeling uncertainties and accurately track the trajectory.     

Observer-based adaptive fuzzy backstepping dynamic surface control design and stability analysis for MIMO stochastic nonlinear systems

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy backstepping output feedback dynamic surface control (DSC) approach is developed for a class of multiinput and multioutput (MIMO) stochastic nonlinear systems with immeasurable states. Fuzzy logic systems are firstly utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and then a fuzzy state observer is designed to estimate the immeasurable states. By combining adaptive backstepping technique and dynamic surface control (DSC) technique, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback backstepping DSC approach is developed. The proposed control method not only overcomes the problem of ??explosion of complexity?? inherent in the backstepping design methods, but also the problem of the immeasurable states. It is proved that all the signals of the closed-loop adaptive control stochastic system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SUUB) in probability, and the observer errors and the output of the system converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A proposed hybrid neural network for position control of a walking robot

The use of a proposed recurrent neural network control system to control a four-legged walking robot is presented in this paper. The control system consists of a neural controller, a standard PD controller, and the walking robot. The robot is a planar four-legged walking robot. The proposed Neural Network (NN) is employed as an inverse controller of the robot. The NN has three layers, which are input, hybrid hidden and output layers. In addition to feedforward connections from the input layer to the hidden layer and from the hidden layer to the output layer, there is also a feedback connection from the output layer to the hidden layer and from the hidden layer to itself. The reason to use a hybrid layer is that the robot’s dynamics consists of linear and nonlinear parts. The results show that the neural-network controller can efficiently control the prescribed positions of the stance and swing legs during the double stance phase of the gait cycle after sufficient training periods. The goal of the use of this proposed neural network is to increase the robustness of the control of the dynamic walking gait of this robot in the case of external disturbances. Also, the PD controller alone and Computed Torque Method (CTM) control system are used to control the walking robot’s position for comparison.

Dynamic control for permanent magnet synchronous generator system using novel modified recurrent wavelet neural network

Because permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) system driven by permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on wind turbine emulator (WTE) is a nonlinear and time-varying system with high complication, an accurate dynamic model of the PMSG system directly driven by WTE is difficult to establish for the linear controller design. In order to conquer this difficulty and improve the robustness of dynamic system, the PMSG system controlled by the online-tuned parameters of the novel modified recurrent wavelet neural network (NN)-controlled system is proposed to control output voltages and powers of controllable rectifier and inverter in this study. First, a closed-loop PMSM-driven system based on WTE is designed for driving the PMSG system to generate output power. Second, the rotor speeds of the PMSG, the voltages, and currents of the two power converters are detected simultaneously to yield maximum power output. In addition, two sets of the online-tuned parameters of the modified recurrent wavelet NN controllers in the controllable rectifier and inverter are developed for the voltage-regulating controllers in order to improve output performance. Finally, some experimental results are verified to show the effectiveness of the proposed novel modified recurrent wavelet NN controller for the power output of the PMSG system driven by WTE.
