切换通信拓扑下线性多智能体系统的鲁棒协同输出跟踪控制

针对存在外界扰动一类线性多智能体系统,设计了一种鲁棒的分布式输出跟踪控制器。该算法适用于智能体之间的通信拓扑有向且可能时变(切换)的情况。控制器结构包括两部分:第一部分可以保证跟踪误差在理想情况下(不存在外界干扰的情况)一致指数收敛;另一部分用来抵消或减弱实际存在的外界干扰效应。数学上证明了该控制器可以完全抑制常值干扰的影响,即在存在常值干扰的情况下,跟踪误差依然渐近收敛到零;而对于其他类型的导数有界干扰,通过选择设计参数可以保证跟踪误差的最终界可以任意小。最后,通过一个数值仿真实例,验证了这两方面的结论。

Distributed adaptive robust tracking and model matching control with actuator faults and interconnection failures

In this paper, direct adaptive-state feedback control schemes are developed to solve the robust tracking and model matching control problem for a class of distributed large scale systems with actuator faults, faulty and perturbed interconnection links, and external disturbances. The adaptation laws are proposed to update the controller parameters on-line when all the eventual faults, the upper bounds of perturbations and disturbances are assumed to be unknown. Then a class of distributed state feedback controllers is constructed to automatically compensate the fault, perturbation and disturbance effects based on the information from adaptive schemes. The proposed distributed adaptive tracking controller can ensure that the resulting adaptive closed-loop large-scale system is stable and the tracking error decreases asymptotically to zero in the presence of uncertain faults of actuators and interconnections, perturbations in interconnection channels, and disturbances. The proposed adaptive design technique is finally evaluated in the light of a simulation example.     

Robust consensus tracking of double‐integrator dynamics by bounded distributed control

This paper studies the robust consensus tracking problem of multiple second‐order systems with additive disturbances and a direct communication topology. We design a continuous, bounded and distributed controller that is composed of a tracker and an uncertainty and disturbance estimator. The tracker makes the nominal closed‐loop system globally asymptotically stable, while the output of uncertainty and disturbance estimator attenuates the effect of disturbances. We show that if the disturbances converge to constants, the tracking error converges asymptotically to zero, whereas for other types of disturbances, the obtained error system is small‐signal L_∞ stable. Some inequalities are developed to show the relationship between the ultimate bounds of tracking errors and the design parameters. Finally, simulation results for four cases are presented to demonstrate the performance of the controller. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stability and robustness properties of a simple adaptive controller

A low-order adaptive tracking controller is proposed for linear time-invariant plants with a relative degree not exceeding two. The order of the plant is not required to be known a priori. The algorithm is robustly stable with respect to small linear time-invariant plant perturbations and bounded disturbances. The robustness is achieved by using a projection of the parameter estimates in the control law. An additional a priori information needed to design the controller is bounds on the plant parameters. In the absence of plant perturbations and disturbances, perfect tracking is obtained

Robust disturbance rejection in modified repetitive control system

This study concerns disturbance rejection for a modified repetitive control system (MRCS) that contains a strictly proper plant with time-varying uncertainties. Since an MRCS is affected by both periodic and aperiodic disturbances, and since the disturbances are often unknown, an equivalent-input-disturbance (EID)-based estimator was added to an MRCS to yield an EID-based MRCS that compensates for all types of disturbances. In this system, the repetitive controller ensures tracking of a periodic reference input, and the incorporation of an EID estimate into the control input enables rejection of unknown periodic and aperiodic disturbances. A robust stability condition for the MRCS was established in the form of a linear matrix inequality, and the condition was used to design the parameters of the controller. This design method handles uncertainties and enables the preferential adjustment of the tracking and control performance of the MRCS. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the method.

Investigations on the Hybrid Tracking Control of an Underactuated Autonomous Underwater Robot

The problem of trajectory tracking control of an underactuated autonomous underwater robot (AUR) in a three-dimensional (3-D) space is investigated in this paper. The control of an underactuated robot is different from fully actuated robots in many aspects. In particular, these robot systems do not satisfy Brockett's necessary condition for feedback stabilization and no continuous time-invariant state feedback control law exists that makes a specified equilibrium of the closed-loop system asymptotically stable. The uncertainty of hydrodynamic parameters, along with the coupled, nonlinear dynamics of the underwater robot, also makes the navigation and tracking control a difficult task. The proposed hybrid control law is developed by combining sliding mode control (SMC) and classical proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control methods to reduce the tracking errors arising out of disturbances, as well as variations in vehicle parameters like buoyancy. Here, a trajectory planner computes the body-fixed linear and angular velocities, as well as vehicle orientations corresponding to a given 3-D inertial trajectory, which yields a feasible 6-d.o.f. trajectory. This trajectory is used to compute the control signals for the three available controllable inputs by the hybrid controller. A supervisory controller is used to switch between the SMC and PID control as per a predefined switching law. The switching function parameters are optimized using Taguchi design techniques. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed controller is investigated by comparing numerically with classical SMC and traditional linear control systems in the presence of disturbances. Numerical simulations using the full set of nonlinear equations of motion show that the controller does quite well in dealing with the plant nonlinearity and parameter uncertainties for trajectory tracking. The proposed controller response shows less tracking error without the usually present control chattering. Some practical features of this control law are also discussed.     

Adaptive Jacobian force/position tracking for space free-flying robots with prescribed transient performance

This paper presents a tracking control with guaranteed prescribed performance (PP) for space free-flying robots with uncertain kinematics (Jacobian matrix) and dynamics, uncertain normal force parameter, and bounded disturbances in a compliant contact with a planar surface. Given the orientation of the surface and a nonlinear model of the elastic force, a controller is designed requiring no information on the robot parameters and the disturbances. This controller will guarantee that the tracking errors satisfy PP indexes such as the maximum steady-state errors and overshoots, and the minimum convergence rates. Thus, contact maintenance can be ensured as prescribed. An approximation of the Jacobian is utilized in the presence of uncertain robot kinematics, and PP position/attitude tracking of the free-flying base is achieved in addition to the PP force/position tracking of the manipulator’s fingertip. The proposed controller is based on an error transformation technique, and a directly tunable gain for the transformed error feedback is introduced in the control to trade off between the tracking performance and control effort. Numerical simulations and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed controller.     

Fast terminal sliding‐mode finite‐time tracking control with differential evolution optimization algorithm using integral chain differentiator in uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper presents a fast terminal sliding‐mode tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown parameters and system states combined with time‐varying disturbances. Fast terminal sliding‐mode finite‐time tracking systems based on differential evolution algorithms incorporate an integral chain differentiator (ICD) to feedback systems for the estimation of the unknown system states. The differential evolution optimization algorithm using ICD is also applied to a tracking controller, which provides unknown parametric estimation in the limitation of unknown system states for trajectory tracking. The ICD in the tracking systems strengthens the tracking controller robustness for the disturbances by filtering noises. As a powerful finite‐time control effort, the fast terminal sliding‐mode tracking control guarantees that all tracking errors rapidly converge to the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified via simulations, and the results exhibit high‐precision output tracking performance in uncertain nonlinear systems.     

A disturbance observer based practical coordinated tracking controller for uncertain heterogeneous multi‐agent systems

This paper presents a coordinated tracking controller for multi‐agent systems. We assume that agents are uncertain, nonidentical, and affected by external disturbances. The information available to the tracking controller is a weighted sum of relative measurements. A coordinated tracking controller based on the disturbance observer, which is known as a robust output feedback controller, is designed so that the disturbances acting on agents are attenuated and at the same time the weighted sum of relative measurements approximately satisfies a differential equation defined by the leader's dynamics, which results in practical coordinated tracking. Systematic design procedures of the controller as well as numerical simulations are provided. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
