Robust‐decentralized tracking control for a class of uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems with time‐varying delays

A new control design method based on signal compensation is proposed for a class of uncertain multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear systems in block‐triangular form with nonlinear uncertainties, unknown virtual control coefficients, strongly coupled interconnections, time‐varying delays, and external disturbances. By this method, the controller design is performed in a backstepping manner. At each step of backstepping procedure, a nominal virtual controller is first designed to get desired output tracking for the nominal disturbance‐free subsystem, and then a robust virtual compensator is designed to restrain the effect of the uncertainties, delays involved in the subsystem, and the couplings among the subsystems. The designed controller is linear and time‐invariant, so the explosion of complexity in the control law is avoid. It is proved that robust stability and robust practical tracking property of the closed‐loop system can be ensured, and the tracking errors can be made as small as desired.

Robust output tracking of nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties

The problem of robust output tracking for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems which do not satisfy the conventional matching condition is considered. The main assumption on the uncertainty is that the triangularity condition is satisfied. Based on backstepping method and input/output linearization approach, we propose a class of non-adaptive state feedback controllers which can guarantee exponential stability of the tracking error for the uncertain nonlinear systems first. Next, adaptive control laws are developed so that no prior knowledge of the bounds on the uncertainties is required. By updating these upper bounds, we design a class of adaptive robust controllers. It is shown that under the proposed adaptive robust control the tracking error of the controlled system converges to zero as time approaches infinity.     

p‐Times differentiable unbounded functions for robust control of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with tracking constraints

This paper investigates the problem of robust controller design for output‐constrained and state‐constrained uncertain switched nonlinear systems. By using the idea of p‐times differentiable unbounded functions and the backstepping technique, a constructive method is proposed to design effective controllers such that the output of a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems in lower triangular form can asymptotically track a constant reference signal without violation of the output tracking error constraint. Furthermore, the explored method is applied to the state‐constrained robust stabilization problem for a class of general uncertain switched nonlinear systems. Finally, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive Fuzzy Output Tracking Control of MIMO Nonlinear Uncertain Systems

In this paper, the adaptive fuzzy tracking control problem is discussed for a class of uncertain multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with the block-triangular structure. The fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. By using the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy tracking control design scheme is developed, which has minimal learning parameterizations. The adaptive fuzzy tracking controllers guarantee that the outputs of systems converge to a small neighborhood of the reference signals and all the signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. Two examples are used to show the effectiveness of the approach     

Robust Control System Design for an Uncertain Nonlinear System Using Minimax LQG Design Method

A systematic approach to design a nonlinear controller using minimax linear quadratic Gaussian regulator (LQG) control is proposed for a class of multi‐input multi‐output nonlinear uncertain systems. In this approach, a robust feedback linearization method and a notion of uncertain diffeomorphism are used to obtain an uncertain linearized model for the corresponding uncertain nonlinear system. A robust minimax LQG controller is then proposed for reference command tracking and stabilization of the nonlinear system in the presence of uncertain parameters. The uncertainties are assumed to satisfy a certain integral quadratic constraint condition. In this method, conventional feedback linearization is used to cancel nominal nonlinear terms and the uncertain nonlinear terms are linearized in a robust way. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a minimax LQG‐based robust controller is designed for a nonlinear uncertain model of an air‐breathing hypersonic flight vehicle (AHFV) with flexibility and input coupling. Here, the problem of constructing a guaranteed cost controller which minimizes a guaranteed cost bound has been considered and the tracking of velocity and altitude is achieved under inertial and aerodynamic uncertainties.     

Adaptive Fault‐Tolerant Control of Uncertain MIMO Systems with Reduced Requirement on Desired Trajectory Under Unknown Control Direction

This paper aims at investigating the tracking control problem for a class of multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with non‐square control gain matrix subject to unknown control direction and uncertain desired trajectory. By using the artificial neural network (NN) reconstructs the target trajectory with actual disguised trajectory, we are able to design a practical and stable tracking control scheme without the need for the unavailable desired trajectory. Nussbaum‐type function is incorporated in the control law to handle the unknown control direction. The remarkable feature of the proposed scheme is that it is robust against modeling uncertainties and tolerant to actuation faults, yet guarantees that the closed‐loop system is stable in the sense of ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). The effectiveness of the proposed control schemes are illustrated through simulation results.     

Adaptive robust output tracking of uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear time-delay systems via control schemes with simple structure

The output tracking control problem is considered for a class of uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems with time-varying delays. In the paper, the time-varying delays are assumed to be any non-negative continuous and bounded functions, and it is not necessary for their derivatives to be less than one. It is also assumed that the upper bounds of nonlinear delayed state perturbations and external disturbances are unknown. On the basis of backstepping algorithm, a novel design method is proposed by which some simple adaptive robust output tracking control schemes are synthesised. The proposed design method can avoid the repeated differentiation problem which appears in using the conventional backstepping algorithm, and need not know all the nonlinear upper bound functions of uncertainties, which are repeatedly employed at each step of the backstepping algorithm. In particular, it is not necessary to know any information on the time-varying delays to construct our simple output tracking control schemes. It is also shown that the tracking error can converge uniformly exponentially towards a neighbourhood of the origin. Finally, a numerical example and its simulations are provided to demonstrate the design procedure of the simple method proposed in the paper.     

Dynamical adaptive integral backstepping variable structure controller design for uncertain systems and experimental application

In this study, a dynamical adaptive integral backstepping variable structure control (DAIBVSC) system based on the Lyapunov stability theorem is proposed for the trajectory tracking control of a nonlinear uncertain mechatronic system with disturbances. In this control scheme, no prior knowledge is required on the uncertain parameters and disturbances because it is estimated by two types of dynamical adaptive laws. These adaptive laws are integrated into the dynamical adaptive integral backstepping control and variable structure control (VSC) parts of the DAIBVSC. The dynamical adaptive law in the dynamical adaptive integral backstepping control part updates parametric uncertainties, while the other in the VSC part adapts upper bounds of non‐parametric uncertainties and disturbances. In order to achieve a more robust output tracking and better parameter adaptation, the control system is extended by one integrator and sliding surface is augmented by an integral action. Experimental evaluation of the DAIBVSC is conducted with respect to performance and robustness to parametric uncertainties. Experimental results of the DAIBVSC are compared with those of a traditional VSC. The proposed DAIBVSC exhibits satisfactory output tracking performance, good estimation of the uncertain parameters and can reject disturbances with a chattering free control law.
