Stable indirect adaptive neural controller for a class of nonlinear system

The paper presents an indirect adaptive neural control scheme for a general high-order nonlinear continuous system. In the proposed scheme a neural controller is constructed based on the single-hidden layer feedforward network (SLFN) for approximating the unknown nonlinearities of dynamic systems. A sliding mode controller is also incorporated to compensate for the modelling errors of SLFN. The parameters of the SLFN are modified using the recently proposed neural algorithm named extreme learning machine (ELM), where the parameters of the hidden nodes are assigned randomly. However different from the original ELM algorithm, the output weights are updated based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach to guarantee the stability of the overall control system, even in the presence of modelling errors which are offset using the sliding mode controller. Finally the proposed adaptive neural controller is applied to control the inverted pendulum system with two different reference trajectories. The simulation results demonstrate that good tracking performance is achieved by the proposed control scheme.

Neural-network-based approach to finite-time optimal control for a class of unknown nonlinear systems

This paper proposes a novel finite-time optimal control method based on input–output data for unknown nonlinear systems using adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm. In this method, the single-hidden layer feed-forward network (SLFN) with extreme learning machine (ELM) is used to construct the data-based identifier of the unknown system dynamics. Based on the data-based identifier, the finite-time optimal control method is established by ADP algorithm. Two other SLFNs with ELM are used in ADP method to facilitate the implementation of the iterative algorithm, which aim to approximate the performance index function and the optimal control law at each iteration, respectively. A simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Adaptive recurrent neural control for nonlinear system tracking

We present a new indirect adaptive control law based on recurrent neural networks, which are linear on the input. For the identifier, we adapt a recently published algorithm to fit the neural network type used for identification; this algorithm ensures exponential stability for the identification error. The proposed controller is based on sliding mode techniques. Our main result, stated as a theorem, concerns tracking error asymptotic stability. Applicability of the proposed scheme is tested via simulations.     

Robust adaptive neural sliding mode control of MEMS triaxial gyroscope with angular velocity estimation

In this paper, a robust adaptive sliding mode control strategy of micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) triaxial gyroscope using radial basis function (RBF) neural network is presented for the system identification of MEMS gyroscope. A key property of this scheme is that the prior knowledge of the upper bound of the system uncertainties is not required. An adaptive RBF neural network controller is used to learn the unknown upper bound of model uncertainties and external disturbances. The adaptive RBF neural network is incorporated into the adaptive sliding mode control in the Lyapunov sense, and the stability of the proposed adaptive neural sliding mode control can be established. The dynamics and angular velocities of gyroscope can be identified in real time. Numerical simulations are investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive neural sliding mode control scheme, showing that the designed control system has better robust performance in its insensitivity to system nonlinearities; moreover, system parameters including angular velocity can be consistently estimated and tracking errors converge to zero asymptotically.     

Adaptive neural sliding mode compensator for a class of nonlinear systems with unmodeled uncertainties

This paper addresses the problem of adaptive neural sliding mode control for a class of multi-input multi-output nonlinear system. The control strategy is an inverse nonlinear controller combined with an adaptive neural network with sliding mode control using an on-line learning algorithm. The adaptive neural network with sliding mode control acts as a compensator for a conventional inverse controller in order to improve the control performance when the system is affected by variations in its entire structure (kinematics and dynamics). The controllers are obtained by using Lyapunov's stability theory. Experimental results of a case study show that the proposed method is effective in controlling dynamic systems with unexpected large uncertainties.     

FPGA‐based adaptive dynamic sliding‐mode neural control for a brushless DC motor

In the adaptive neural control design, since the number of hidden neurons is finite for real‐time applications, the approximation errors introduced by the neural network cannot be inevitable. To ensure the stability of the adaptive neural control system, a switching compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error. However, it will lead to substantial chattering in the control effort. In this paper, an adaptive dynamic sliding‐mode neural control (ADSNC) system composed of a neural controller and a fuzzy compensator is proposed to tackle this problem. The neural controller, using a radial basis function neural network, is the main controller and the fuzzy compensator is designed to eliminate the approximation error introduced by the neural controller. Moreover, a proportional‐integral‐type adaptation learning algorithm is developed based on the Lyapunov function; thus not only the system stability can be guaranteed but also the convergence of the tracking error and controller parameters can speed up. Finally, the proposed ADSNC system is implemented based on a field programmable gate array chip for low‐cost and high‐performance industrial applications and is applied to control a brushless DC (BLDC) motor to show its effectiveness. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed ADSNC scheme can achieve favorable control performance without encountering chattering phenomena.

Sliding Mode Neuro Adaptive Control in Trajectory Tracking for Mobile Robots

In this work a neural indirect sliding mode control method for mobile robots is proposed. Due to the nonholonomic property and restricted mobility, the trajectory tracking of this system has been one of the research topics for the last ten years. The proposed control structure combines a feedback linearization model, based on a kinematics nominal model, and a practical design that combines an indirect neural adaptation technique with sliding mode control to compensate the dynamics of the robot. Using an online adaptation scheme, a neural sliding mode controller is used to approximate the equivalent control in the neighbourhood of the sliding manifold. A sliding control is appended to ensure that the neural sliding mode control can achieve a stable closed-loop system for the trajectory-tracking control of a mobile robot with unknown nonlinear dynamics. The proposed design simultaneously guarantees the stability of the adaptation of the neural nets and obtains suitable equivalent control when the parameters of the robot model are unknown in advance. The robust adaptive scheme is applied to a mobile robot and shown to be able to guarantee that the output tracking error will converge to zero.     

An optimal adaptive robust PID controller subject to fuzzy rules and sliding modes for MIMO uncertain chaotic systems

In this paper, an optimal adaptive robust PID controller based on fuzzy rules and sliding modes is introduced to present a general scheme to control MIMO uncertain chaotic nonlinear systems. In this control scheme, the gains of the PID controller are updated by using an adaptive mechanism, fuzzy rules, the gradient search method, and the chain rule of differentiation in order to minimize the sliding surfaces of sliding mode control. More precisely, sliding mode control is used as a supervisory controller to provide sufficient control inputs and guarantee the stability of the control approach. To ascertain the parameters of the proposed controller and avoid trial and error, the multi-objective genetic algorithm is employed to augment the performance of proposed controller. The chaotic system of a Duffing-Holmes oscillator and an industrial robotic manipulator are the case studies to evaluate the performance of the proposed control approach. The obtained results of this study regarding both systems are compared with the outcomes of two notable studies in the literature. The results and analysis prove the efficiency of the proposed controller with regard to MIMO uncertain systems having challenging external disturbances in terms of stability, minimum tracking error and optimal control inputs.

The abilities of anti-disturbance and anti-chattering are better than conventional sliding mode controller and adaptive sliding mode controller. The Lyapunov stability theorem is employed to ensure the stability of the proposed controller. The convergence and signal tracking properties are better than the conventional sliding mode controller. Finally, we employed the experiment to validate the proposed method is feasible.

RCMAC-based adaptive control for uncertain nonlinear systems.

An adaptive control system, using a recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC) and based on a sliding mode technique, is developed for uncertain nonlinear systems. The proposed dynamic structure of RCMAC has superior capability to the conventional static cerebellar model articulation controller in an efficient learning mechanism and dynamic response. Temporal relations are embedded in RCMAC by adding feedback connections in the association memory space so that the RCMAC provides a dynamical structure. The proposed control system consists of an adaptive RCMAC and a compensated controller. The adaptive RCMAC is used to mimic an ideal sliding mode controller, and the compensated controller is designed to compensate for the approximation error between the ideal sliding mode controller and the adaptive RCMAC. The online adaptive laws of the control system are derived based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, so that the stability of the system can be guaranteed. In addition, in order to relax the requirement of the approximation error bound, an estimation law is derived to estimate the error bound. Finally, the simulation and experimental studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for the nonlinear systems with unknown dynamic functions.     

Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller for a class of SISO nonlinear time-delay systems

In this paper, we propose an adaptive fuzzy controller for a class of nonlinear SISO time-delay systems. The plant model structure is represented by a Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) type fuzzy system. The T–S fuzzy model parameters are adjusted online. The proposed algorithm utilizes the sliding surface to adjust online the parameters of T–S fuzzy model. The controller is based on adjustable T–S fuzzy parameters model and sliding mode theory. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is based on the Lyapunov approach. The plant state follows asymptotically any bounded reference signal. Two examples have been used to check performances of the proposed fuzzy adaptive control scheme.     

Online learning in adaptive neurocontrol schemes with a slidingmode algorithm

The novel features of an adaptive PID-like neurocontrol scheme for nonlinear plants are presented. The controller tuning is based on an estimate of the command-error on its output by using a neural predictive model. A robust online learning algorithm, based on the direct use of sliding mode control (SMC) theory is applied. The proposed approach allows handling of the plant-model mismatches, uncertainties and parameters changes. The results show that both the plant model and the controller inherit some of the advantages of SMC, such as high speed of learning and robustness.     

Adaptive fault-tolerant control of non-linear systems: an improved CMAC-based fault learning approach

The conventional cerebellar model articulation controllers (CMAC) learning scheme equally distributes the correcting errors into all addressed hypercubes, regardless of the credibility of those hypercubes. This paper presents the adaptive fault-tolerant control scheme of non-linear systems using a fuzzy credit assignment CMAC neural network online fault learning approach. The credit assignment concept is introduced into fuzzy CMAC weight adjusting to use the learned times of addressed hypercubes as the credibility of CMAC. The correcting errors are proportional to the inversion of learned times of addressed hypercubes. With this fault learning model, the learning speed of fault can be improved. After the unknown fault is estimated, online, by using the fuzzy credit assignment CMAC, the effective control law reconfiguration strategy based on the sliding mode control technique is used to compensate for the effect of the fault. The proposed fault-tolerant controller adjusts its control signal by adding a corrective sliding mode control signal to confine the system performance within a boundary layer. The numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CMAC algorithm and fault-tolerant controller.

An adaptive integral sliding mode FTC scheme for dissimilar redundant actuation system of civil aircraft

ABSTRACT

This paper proposed a new adaptive integral sliding mode FTC scheme to deal with the actuator faults and failure. The scheme combines integral sliding mode control, control allocation scheme and adaptive strategy. The unknown actuator faults are handled by adaptive modulation gain of nonlinear ISMC law. To cope with complete failure, control allocation scheme is integrated with the baseline controller to provide tolerance. The proposed strategy relies on the estimate of actuator effectiveness. Therefore, an adaptive sliding mode observer based fault reconstruction scheme is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme is implemented on dissimilar redundant actuation system driven by hydraulic and electro-hydraulic actuators. In nominal and faulty conditions, both actuators are contributing to achieving the desired control surface deflection. However, when the actuator failure occurs, the control signals are reallocated to the redundant actuator. The problem of dynamics mismatch is addressed using fractional order controller designed in an inner loop. The comparison with the existing literature is also conducted in the simulation to validate the dominant performance.
