PID control for global finite-time regulation of robotic manipulators

This paper addresses the global finite-time regulation problem of robotic manipulators. A simple nonlinear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is proposed by adding a nonlinear proportional and derivative term to the commonly used PID controller. Lyapunov's stability theory and geometric homogeneity technique are employed to prove global finite-time stability. Advantages of the proposed control include the absence of modelling information in the control law formulation and the global finite-time stability featuring fast transient and high-precision positioning. Explicit conditions on the controller parameters to ensure global finite-time regulation stability are obtained. Simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and the improved performances of the proposed approach.     

PID position regulation in one-degree-of-freedom Euler–Lagrange systems actuated by a PMSM

This paper is concerned with position regulation in one-degree-of-freedom Euler–Lagrange Systems. We consider that the mechanical subsystem is actuated by a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Our proposal consists of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for the mechanical subsystem and a slight variation of field oriented control for the PMSM. We take into account the motor electric dynamics during the stability analysis. We present, for the first time, a global asymptotic stability proof for such a control scheme without requiring the mechanical subsystem to naturally possess viscous friction. Finally, as a corollary of our main result we prove global asymptotic stability for output feedback PID regulation of one-degree-of-freedom Euler–Lagrange systems when generated torque is considered as the system input, i.e. when the electric dynamics of PMSM's is not taken into account.

A novel filter design and Lyapunov-type stability analysis are used to prove semi-global asymptotic tracking. As a by-product of the proposed framework, we also present the design of a new simple, discontinuous velocity observer that ensures global asymptotic velocity observation.

Chaos synchronization of nonlinear gyros using self-learning PID control approach

Since chaotic systems are important nonlinear deterministic systems that display complex, noisy-like and unpredictable behavior, synchronizing chaotic systems has become an important issue in the engineering community. Due to the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller has a simple architecture and easily designed, it was widely used in the industrial applications. However, the traditional PID controller usually needs some manual retuning before being used to practically application. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a self-learning PID control (SLPIDC) system which is composed of a PID controller and a fuzzy compensator. The PID controller which is used to online approximate an ideal controller is the main controller. The controller gain factors of the PID controller can automatically tune based on the gradient descent method. The fuzzy compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error between the ideal controller and PID controller upon the system stability in the Lyapunov sense. From the simulation results, it is verified that the chaotic behavior of two nonlinear identical chaotic gyros can be synchronized by the proposed SLPIDC scheme without the chattering phenomena in the control effort after the controller parameters learning.     

An Analytical Study on Structure, Stability and Design of General Nonlinear Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Control Systems

In this paper, we first study analytical structure of general nonlinear Takagi-Sugeno (TS, for short) fuzzy controllers, then establish a condition for analytically determining asymptotic stability of the fuzzy control systems at the equilibrium point, and finally use the stability condition in design of the control systems that are at least locally stable. The general TS fuzzy controllers use arbitrary input fuzzy sets, any types of fuzzy logic AND, TS fuzzy rules with linear consequent and the generalized defuzzifier which contains the popular centroid defuzzifier as a special case. We have mathematically proved that the general TS fuzzy controllers are nonlinear controllers with variable gains continuously changing with controllers’ input variables. Using Lyapunov’s linearization method, we have established a necessary and sufficient condition for analytically determining local asymptotic stability of TS fuzzy control systems, each of which is made up of a fuzzy controller of the general class and a nonlinear plant. We show that the condition can be used in practice even when the plant model is not explicitly known. We have utilized the stability condition to design, with or without plant model, general TS fuzzy control systems that are at least locally stable. Three numerical examples are given to illustrate in detail how to use our new results. Our results offer four important practical advantages: (1) our stability condition, being a necessary and sufficient one, is the tightest possible stability condition, (2) the condition is simple and easy to use partially because it only needs the fuzzy controller structure around the equilibrium point, (3) the condition can be used for determining system local stability and designing fuzzy control systems that are stable at least around the equilibrium point even when the explicit plant models are unavailable, and (4) the condition covers a very broad range of nonlinear TS fuzzy control systems, for which a meaningful global stability condition seems impossible to establish.     

Nonlinear tracking control for sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motors with uncertainties

The recent advanced solution in Marino, Tomei, and Verrelli (2013) to the tracking control problem for sensorless IMs with parameter uncertainties is translated on the basis of letter swap connections between the models of (nonsalient-pole surface) permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) and induction ones (IMs). The (stability proof-based) nonlinear adaptive position/speed tracking control for sensorless PMSMs (with simultaneous estimation of uncertain constant load torque and stator resistance), which is accordingly obtained by exploring and decoding the design paths in Marino et al. (2013) and which surprisingly represents a simple generalization of the controller in Tomei and Verrelli (2011), constitutes an innovative solution to the related open problem. Illustrative experimental results are included.     

Global positioning of robot manipulators with mixed revolute and prismatic joints

The existing controllers for robot manipulators with uncertain gravitational force can globally stabilize only robot manipulators with revolute joints. The main obstacles to the global stabilization of robot manipulators with mixed revolute and prismatic joints are unboundedness of the inertia matrix and the Jacobian of the gravity vector. In this note, a class of globally stable controllers for robot manipulators with mixed revolute and prismatic joints is proposed. The global asymptotic stabilization is achieved by adding a nonlinear proportional and derivative term to the linear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. By using Lyapunov's direct method, the explicit conditions on the controller parameters to ensure global asymptotic stability are obtained.     

Nonlinear adaptive control for bioreactors with unknown kinetics

We consider a control problem for a single bioreaction occurring in a continuous and well-mixed bioreactor, assuming that the bioreaction's kinetics is not represented by a validated model. We develop a nonlinear controller and prove the global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system towards the equilibrium corresponding to the set point. Since this control law needs the knowledge of some parameters, we derive an adaptive version of the nonlinear controller and prove again the global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, we show the relevance of our approach on a real-life wastewater treatment plant.

二阶非线性系统自抗扰控制的全局渐近稳定性

自抗扰技术应用已十分广泛,但其稳定性和收敛性分析仍是一个核心问题.因此,基于二阶非线性动态系统,设计了线性自抗扰控制器,并利用李雅普诺夫函数方法,通过理论分析和数学证明得到了系统大范围渐近稳定时的控制参数可行域.当被控对象的动态模型已知时,只要系统总扰动的导数满足利普希茨条件,控制参数可以从得到的可行域内任意选择.当被控对象的动态模型未知时,还需满足总扰动关于输入和外扰的二阶导数等于零这个条件.然后针对不同的利普希茨常数绘制了参数可行域,并对系统进行了数值仿真,体现了自抗扰控制技术的强鲁棒性.这些分析都建立在扩张状态观测器和控制器相结合的基础上.     

A new class of nonlinear PID controllers with robotic applications

This paper introduces a new class of simple nonlinear PID controllers and provides a formal treatment of their stability analysis. These controllers are comprised of a sector-bounded nonlinear gain in cascade with a linear fixed-gain P, PD, PI, or PID controller. Three simple nonlinear gains are proposed: the sigmoidal function, the hyperbolic function, and the piecewise–linear function. The systems to be controlled are assumed to be modeled or approximated by second-order transfer functions, which can represent many robotic applications. The stability of the closed-loop systems incorporating nonlinear P, PD, PI, and PID controllers are investigated using the Popov stability criterion. It is shown that for P and PD controllers, the nonlinear gain is unbounded for closed-loop stability. For PI and PID controllers, simple expressions are derived that relate the controller gains and system parameters to the maximum allowable nonlinear gain for stability. A numerical example is given for illustration. The stability of partially-nonlinear PID controllers is also discussed. Finally, the nonlinear PI controller is implemented as a force controller on a robotic arm and experimental results are presented. These results demonstrate the superior performance of the nonlinear PI controller relative to a fixed-gain PI controller. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 15: 161–181, 1998

Feedback and uncertainty: Some basic problems and results

This paper will review some fundamental results in the understanding of several basic problems concerning feedback and uncertainty. First, we will consider adaptive control of linear stochastic systems, in particular, the global stability and optimality of the well-known self-tuning regulators, designed by combining the least-squares estimator with the minimum variance controller. This natural and seemingly simple case had actually been a longstanding central problem in the area of adaptive control, and its solution offers valuable insights necessary for understanding more complex problems. Next, we will discuss the theoretical foundation of the classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, to understand the rationale behind its widespread successful applications in control practice where almost all of the systems to be controlled are nonlinear with uncertainties, by presenting some theorems on the global stability and asymptotic optimality of the closed-loop systems, and by providing a concrete design method for the PID parameters. Finally, we will consider more fundamental problems on the maximum capability and limitations of the feedback mechanism in dealing with uncertain nonlinear systems, where the feedback mechanism is defined as the class of all possible feedback laws. Some extensions and perspectives will also be discussed in the paper.     

Stable control of nonlinear systems using neural networks

A neural-network-based direct control architecture is presented that achieves output tracking for a class of continuous-time nonlinear plants, for which the nonlinearities are unknown. The controller employs neural networks to perform approximate input/output plant linearization. The network parameters are adapted according to a stability principle. The architecture is based on a modification of a method previously proposed by the authors, where the modification comprises adding a sliding control term to the controller. This modification serves two purposes: first, as suggested by Sanner and Slotine,¹ sliding control compensates for plant uncertainties outside the state region where the networks are used, thus providing global stability; second, the sliding control compensates for inherent network approximation errors, hence improving tracking performance. A complete stability and tracking error convergence proof is given and the setting of the controller parameters is discussed. It is demonstrated that as a result of using sliding control, better use of the network's approximation ability can be achieved, and the asymptotic tracking error can be made dependent only on inherent network approximation errors and the frequency range of unmodelled dynamical modes. Two simulations are provided to demonstrate the features of the control method.     

Velocity Regulation in Pmsms Using Standard Field Oriented Control Plus Adaptation

In this paper we present a control scheme for permanent magnet synchronous motors which is proven to be stable and globally convergent to the constant desired velocity. Our controller only differs from standard field oriented control by some simple adaptive terms and performance achieved by both controllers is almost identical. Thus, the main contribution of the present paper is to introduce a formal stability proof which is the closest, to date, to explaining why standard field oriented control of permanent magnet synchronous motors works well in practice providing explicit tuning guidelines. We stress that a global stability proof for standard field oriented control of permanent magnet synchronous motors has not existed until now, which makes the importance of our contribution remarkable.
