RCMAC-based adaptive control design for brushless DC motors

This paper proposes a recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC)-based adaptive control for brushless DC motors. This control system is composed of a RCMAC and a compensation controller. RCMAC is used to mimic an ideal controller, and the compensation controller is designed to compensate for the approximation error between the ideal controller and RCMAC. The Lyapunov stability theory is utilized to derive the parameter tuning algorithm, so that the uniformly ultimately bound stability of the closed-loop system can be achieved. For comparison, a fuzzy control, an adaptive fuzzy control and the developed RCMAC-based adaptive control are implemented on a field programmable gate array chip for controlling a brushless DC motor. Experimental results reveal that the proposed RCMAC-based adaptive control system can achieve the best tracking performance. Moreover, since the developed RCMAC-based adaptive control scheme uses a hyperbolic tangent function to compensate for the approximation error, there is no chattering phenomenon in the control effort. Thus, the proposed control method is more suitable for real-time practical control applications.     

Nonlinear adaptive control of robotic manipulators - hyperstability approach

A nonlinear model reference adaptive controller based on hyperstability approach, is presented for the control of robot manipulators. Use of hyperstability approach simplifies the stability proof of the adaptive system. The unknown parameters of the system, as well as its variable payload, are estimated on line and are adaptive to their actual values; tending to reduce the system error. In addition, any sudden change in the system parameters or payload is detected by the proposed intelligent controller. Robot path tracking, with unknown parameter values and variable payload, is simulated to show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control algorithm. Both system output error and parameter estimation error vanish under the proposed parameter adaptation algorithm.     

Stable auto-tuning of hybrid adaptive fuzzy/neural controllers for nonlinear systems

In direct adaptive control, the adaptation mechanism attempts to adjust a parameterized nonlinear controller to approximate an ideal controller. In the indirect case, however, we approximate parts of the plant dynamics that are used by a feedback controller to cancel the system nonlinearities. In both cases, “approximators” such as linear mappings, polynomials, fuzzy systems, or neural networks can be used as either the parameterized nonlinear controller or identifier model. In this paper, we present an algorithm to tune the adaptation gain for a gradient-based hybrid update law used for a class of nonlinear continuous-time systems in both direct and indirect cases. In our proposed algorithm, the adaptation gain is obtained by minimizing the instantaneous control energy. Finally, we will demonstrate the performance of the algorithm via a wing rock regulation example.     

Predefined-time control for Euler–Lagrange systems with model uncertainties and actuator faults

A novel adaptive predefined-time tracking control algorithm is proposed for the Euler–Lagrange systems (ELSs) with model uncertainties and actuator faults. Compared with traditional finite-time and fixed-time studies, the system output tracking error under the proposed predefined-time controller converges to a small neighborhood of zero in finite time, whose upper bound is exactly a design parameter in the control algorithm. For the uncertain model, radial-based function neural network (RBFNN) is utilized to approximate the continuous uncertain dynamics. To deal with the actuator faults, an adaptive control law is involved in the fault-tolerant controller. In order to achieve the predefined-time bounded, a novel predefined-time sliding mode surface is designed. It is proved that the tracking error vector trajectory of closed-loop system is semi-globally uniformly ultimately predefined-time bounded, and the upper bounds of both the system settling time and the corresponding output tracking error can be adjusted with a simple parameter. Simulation examples finally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.     

A Combined Adaptive Law for Fuzzy Iterative Learning Control of Nonlinear Systems With Varying Control Tasks

To deal with the iterative control of uncertain nonlinear systems with varying control tasks, nonzero initial resetting state errors, and nonrepeatable mismatched input disturbance, a new adaptive fuzzy iterative learning controller is proposed in this paper. The main structure of this learning controller is constructed by a fuzzy learning component and a robust learning component. For the fuzzy learning component, a fuzzy system used as an approximator is designed to compensate for the plant nonlinearity. For the robust learning component, a sliding-mode-like strategy is applied to overcome the nonlinear input gain, input disturbance, and fuzzy approximation error. Both designs are based on a time-varying boundary layer which is introduced not only to solve the problem of initial state errors but also to eliminate the possible undesirable chattering behavior. A new adaptive law combining time- and iteration-domain adaptation is derived to search for suitable values of control parameters and then guarantee the closed-loop stability and error convergence. This adaptive algorithm is designed without using projection or deadzone mechanism. With a suitable choice of the weighting gain, the memory size for the storage of parameter profiles can be greatly reduced. It is shown that all the adjustable parameters as well as internal signals remain bounded for all iterations. Moreover, the norm of tracking state error vector will asymptotically converge to a tunable residual set even when the desired tracking trajectory is varying between successive iterations.     

Adaptive recurrent neural network control using a structure adaptation algorithm

This paper proposes an adaptive recurrent neural network control (ARNNC) system with structure adaptation algorithm for the uncertain nonlinear systems. The developed ARNNC system is composed of a neural controller and a robust controller. The neural controller which uses a self-structuring recurrent neural network (SRNN) is the principal controller, and the robust controller is designed to achieve L ² tracking performance with desired attenuation level. The SRNN approximator is used to online estimate an ideal tracking controller with the online structuring and parameter learning algorithms. The structure learning possesses the ability of both adding and pruning hidden neurons, and the parameter learning adjusts the interconnection weights of neural network to achieve favorable approximation performance. And, by the L ² control design technique, the worst effect of approximation error on the tracking error can be attenuated to be less or equal to a specified level. Finally, the proposed ARNNC system with structure adaptation algorithm is applied to control two nonlinear dynamic systems. Simulation results prove that the proposed ARNNC system with structure adaptation algorithm can achieve favorable tracking performance even unknown the control system dynamics function.

Stable auto-tuning of adaptive fuzzy/neural controllers for nonlinear discrete-time systems

In direct adaptive control, the adaptation mechanism attempts to adjust a parameterized nonlinear controller to approximate an ideal controller. In the indirect case, however, we approximate parts of the plant dynamics that are used by a feedback controller to cancel the system nonlinearities. In both cases, "approximators" such as linear mappings, polynomials, fuzzy systems, or neural networks can be used as either the parameterized nonlinear controller or identifier model. In this paper, we present algorithms to tune some of the parameters (e.g., the adaptation gain and the direction of descent) for a gradient-based approximator parameter update law used for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems in both direct and indirect cases. In our proposed algorithms, the adaptation gain and the direction of descent are obtained by minimizing the instantaneous control energy. We will show that updating the adaptation gain can be viewed as a special case of updating the direction of descent. We will also compare the direct and indirect adaptive control schemes and illustrate their performance via a simple surge tank example.     

Adaptive CMAC neural control of chaotic systems with a PI-type learning algorithm

The cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) has the advantages such as fast learning property, good generalization capability and information storing ability. Based on these advantages, this paper proposes an adaptive CMAC neural control (ACNC) system with a PI-type learning algorithm and applies it to control the chaotic systems. The ACNC system is composed of an adaptive CMAC and a compensation controller. Adaptive CMAC is used to mimic an ideal controller and the compensation controller is designed to dispel the approximation error between adaptive CMAC and ideal controller. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorems, the designed ACNC feedback control system is guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, the ACNC system is applied to control two chaotic systems, a Genesio chaotic system and a Duffing–Holmes chaotic system. Simulation results verify that the proposed ACNC system with a PI-type learning algorithm can achieve better control performance than other control methods.

Two-Mode Adaptive Fuzzy Control With Approximation Error Estimator

In this paper, we propose a two-mode adaptive fuzzy controller with approximation error estimator. In the learning mode, the controller employs some modified adaptive laws to tune the fuzzy system parameters and an approximation error estimator to compensate for the inherent approximation error. In the operating mode, the fuzzy system parameters are fixed, only the estimator is updated online. Mathematically, we show that the closed-loop system is stable in the sense that all the variables are bounded in both modes. We also establish mathematical bounds on the tracking error, state vector, control signal and the RMS error. Using these bounds, we show that controller's design parameters can be chosen to achieve desired control performance. After that, an algorithm to automatically switch the controller between two modes is presented. Finally, simulation studies of an inverted pendulum system and a Chua's chaotic circuit demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed controller.

A robust adaptive sliding-mode control for rigid robotic manipulators with arbitrary bounded input disturbances

In this paper, a robust adaptive sliding-mode control scheme for rigid robotic manipulators with arbitrary bounded input disturbances is proposed. It is shown that the prior knowledge on the upper bound of the norm of the input disturbance vector is not required in the sliding-mode controller design. An adaptive mechanism is introduced to estimate the upper bound of the norm of the input disturbance vector. The estimate is then used as a controller gain parameter to guarantee that the output tracking error asymptotically converges to zero and strong robustness with respect to bounded input disturbances can be obtained. A simulation example is given in support of the proposed control scheme.

Exponential parameter and tracking error convergence guarantees for adaptive controllers without persistency of excitation

In model reference adaptive control (MRAC) the modelling uncertainty is often assumed to be parameterised with time-invariant unknown ideal parameters. The convergence of parameters of the adaptive element to these ideal parameters is beneficial, as it guarantees exponential stability, and makes an online learned model of the system available. Most MRAC methods, however, require persistent excitation of the states to guarantee that the adaptive parameters converge to the ideal values. Enforcing PE may be resource intensive and often infeasible in practice. This paper presents theoretical analysis and illustrative examples of an adaptive control method that leverages the increasing ability to record and process data online by using specifically selected and online recorded data concurrently with instantaneous data for adaptation. It is shown that when the system uncertainty can be modelled as a combination of known nonlinear bases, simultaneous exponential tracking and parameter error convergence can be guaranteed if the system states are exciting over finite intervals such that rich data can be recorded online; PE is not required. Furthermore, the rate of convergence is directly proportional to the minimum singular value of the matrix containing online recorded data. Consequently, an online algorithm to record and forget data is presented and its effects on the resulting switched closed-loop dynamics are analysed. It is also shown that when radial basis function neural networks (NNs) are used as adaptive elements, the method guarantees exponential convergence of the NN parameters to a compact neighbourhood of their ideal values without requiring PE. Flight test results on a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
