基于自适应模糊控制器和非线性扰动观测器的永磁直线同步电机反馈线性化控制

由于永磁直线同步电机(PMLSM)伺服系统应用于一些高精密场合,因此克服系统存在的负载扰动、参数变化等不确定性影响是提高系统性能的关键.针对不确定性问题,采用一种基于自适应模糊控制器(AFC)和非线性扰动观测器(NDO)的反馈线性化控制方法.首先设计反馈线性化控制器(FLC)实现系统的线性化,便于位置跟踪;其次采用NDO估计并补偿系统的不确定性,提高跟踪精度.但在实际运行过程中观测器增益较难选取,极易产生较大的观测误差,为此,采用AFC方法逼近NDO的观测误差,通过自适应律动态调整模糊规则,改善模糊控制器的学习能力,增强系统的鲁棒性,并用李雅普诺夫定理保证系统闭环稳定性.实验结果表明,与基于DOB和NDO的反馈线性化位置控制相比,该方法能够明显提高系统的跟踪性和鲁棒性.

Actuator fault‐tolerant control (FTC) design with post‐fault transient improvement for application to aircraft control

A robust fault‐tolerant control scheme is proposed for uncertain nonlinear systems with zero dynamics, affected by actuator faults and lock‐in‐place and float failures. The proposed controller utilizes an adaptive second‐order sliding mode strategy integrated with the backstepping procedure, retaining the benefits of both the methodologies. A Lyapunov stability analysis has been conducted, which unfolds the advantages offered by the proposed methodology in the presence of inherent modeling errors and strong eventualities of faults and failures. Two modified adaptive laws have been formulated, to approximate the bounds of uncertainties due to modeling and to estimate the fault‐induced parametric uncertainties. The proposed scheme ensures robustness towards linearly parameterized mismatched uncertainties, in addition to parametric and nonparametric matched perturbations. The proposed controller has been shown to yield an improved post‐fault transient performance without any additional expense in the control energy spent. The proposed scheme is applied to the pitch control problem of a nonlinear longitudinal model of Boeing 747‐100/200 aircraft. Simulation results support theoretical propositions and confirm that the proposed controller produces superior post‐fault transient performance compared with already existing approaches designed for similar applications. Besides, the asymptotic stability of the overall controlled system is also established in the event of such faults and failures. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Robust Tracking Control of Uncertain MIMO Nonlinear Systems with Application to UAVs

In this paper, we consider the robust adaptive tracking control of uncertain multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with input saturation and unknown external disturbance. The nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) is employed to tackle the system uncertainty as well as the external disturbance. To handle the input saturation, an auxiliary system is constructed as a saturation compensator. By using the backstepping technique and the dynamic surface method, a robust adaptive tracking control scheme is developed. The closed-loop system is proved to be uniformly ultimately bounded thorough Lyapunov stability analysis. Simulation results with application to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust control scheme.      

Indirect adaptive robust control of nonlinear systems with time‐varying parameters in a strict feedback form

Without any prior knowledge of the physical bounds of unknown parameters and uncertain nonlinearities, an indirect adaptive robust controller is constructed for uncertain nonlinear time‐varying systems in a strict‐feedback form. Firstly, an adaptive strong robust controller is derived based on the command filtered adaptive backstepping approach. This controller not only can guarantee the boundedness of the closed‐loop system signals in the presence of time‐varying (TV) parameters and uncertain nonlinearities but also obviate the need to compute analytic derivatives of virtual control functions. Thus, the problem of “explosion of terms” in the standard adaptive backstepping technique is avoided. Through introduction of a simple adaptation law on the upper bound of uncertainties, a smooth robust control term is used to realize the disturbance attenuation. Afterwards, based on the nonlinear X‐swapping techniques, a modular approach in which the controller and the identifier can be designed separately is exploited. A novel algorithm is proposed to estimate the TV parameters accurately. By adopting the variation trend of the covariance matrix as an indicator of the driving signals' persistent excitation level, this online parameter estimation law is switched between a modified least‐squares algorithm and a gradient algorithm based on fixed σ‐modification. Finally, a series of properties on the asymptotic stability and the global uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed‐loop system is established. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the suggested method.     

Robust approximation‐based adaptive control of multiple state delayed nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics

This paper addresses the problem of tracking control for a class of uncertain nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems subject to multiple state time‐varying delays and unmodeled dynamics. To overcome the design difficulty in system dynamical uncertainties, radial basis function neural networks are employed to approximate the black‐box functions. Novel continuous functions that deal with whole states uncertainties are introduced in each step of the adaptive backstepping to make the controller design feasible. The robust problem caused by unmodeled dynamics when constructing a stable controller is solved by employing an auxiliary signal to regulate its boundedness. A novel Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional is developed to compensate for the delayed nonlinearity without requiring the priori knowledge of its upper bound functions. On the basis of the proposed robust adaptive neural controller, all the closed‐loop signals are semiglobal uniformly ultimately bounded with good tracking performance.     

Robust fuzzy 3D path following for autonomous underwater vehicle subject to uncertainties

This paper addresses a three-dimensional (3D) path following control problem for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) subject to both internal and external uncertainties. A two-layered framework synthesizing the 3D guidance law and heuristic fuzzy control is proposed to achieve robust adaptive following along a predefined path. In the first layer, a 3D guidance controller for underactuated AUV is presented to guarantee the stability of path following in the kinematics stage. In the second layer, a heuristic adaptive fuzzy algorithm based on the guidance command and feedback linearization Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is developed in the dynamics stage to account for the nonlinear dynamics and system uncertainties, including inaccuracy modelling parameters and time-varying environmental disturbances. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the heuristic fuzzy controller is presented. Against most existing methods for 3D path following, the proposed robust fuzzy control scheme reduces the design and implementation costs of complicated dynamics controller, and relaxes the knowledge of the accuracy dynamics modelling and environmental disturbances. Finally, numerical simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control framework and illustrate the outperformance of the proposed controller as well.

Automatic Train Operation Based on Adaptive Terminal Sliding Mode Control

This paper presents an adaptive terminal sliding mode control(ATSMC) method for automatic train operation. The criterion for the design is keeping high-precision tracking with relatively less adjustment of the control input. The ATSMC structure is designed by considering the nonlinear characteristics of the dynamic model and the parametric uncertainties of the train operation in real time. A nonsingular terminal sliding mode control is employed to make the system quickly reach a stable state within a finite time, which makes the control input less adjust to guarantee the riding comfort. An adaptive mechanism is used to estimate controller parameters to get rid of the need of the prior knowledge about the bounds of system uncertainty. Simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, which has robust performance to deal with the external disturbance and system parametric uncertainties. Thereby, the system guarantees the train operation to be accurate and comfortable.     

Finite‐time adaptive robust control of nonlinear time‐delay uncertain systems with disturbance

This paper investigates finite‐time adaptive robust control problem for a general class of nonlinear time‐delay systems with uncertain and external disturbance via the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii (L‐K) method and presents some delay‐independent and delay‐dependent results on the issue. First, by applying the orthogonal decomposition method, this paper presents an equivalent form. Based on which, we study the finite‐time adaptive robust control problem for the systems by constructing a specific L‐K functional and designing a suitable controller. Different from existing works, this paper studies finite‐time adaptive robust control problem for general nonlinear delay system and presents a delay‐dependent sufficient condition on the problem. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the result in this paper.

Precision Synchronization Motion Trajectory Tracking Control of Multiple Pneumatic Cylinders

This paper deals with the synchronized motion trajectory tracking control problem of multiple pneumatic cylinders. An adaptive robust synchronization controller is developed by incorporating the cross‐coupling technology into the integrated direct/indirect adaptive robust control (DIARC) architecture. The position synchronization error and the trajectory tracking error of each cylinder are combined to construct the so‐called coupled position error. The proposed adaptive robust synchronization controller is designed with the feedback of this coupled position error and is composed of two parts: an on‐line parameter estimation algorithm and a robust control law. The former is employed to obtain accurate estimates of model parameters for reducing the extent of parametric uncertainties, while the latter is utilized to attenuate the effects of parameter estimation errors, unmodelled dynamics, and external disturbances. Theoretically, both the position synchronization and trajectory tracking errors will achieve asymptotic convergence simultaneously. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified by the extensive experimental results performed on a two‐cylinder pneumatic system.     

Robust adaptive control of nonlinearly parametrized multivariable systems with unmatched disturbances

A new robust adaptive control scheme is developed for nonlinearly parametrized multivariable systems in the presence of parameter uncertainties and unmatched disturbances. The developed control scheme employs a new integrated framework of a functional bounding technique for handling nonlinearly parametrized system dynamics, an adaptive parameter estimation algorithm for dealing with parameter uncertainties, a nonlinear feedback controller structure for stabilization of interconnected system states, and a robust adaptive control design for accommodating unmatched disturbances. It is proved that such a new robust adaptive control scheme is capable of ensuring the global boundedness and mean convergence of all closed‐loop system signals. A complete simulation study on an air vehicle system with nonlinear parametrization in the presence of an unmatched wind disturbance is conducted, and its results verify the effectiveness of the proposed robust adaptive control scheme.     

Non‐fragile robust control for networked control systems with long time‐varying delay,randomly occurring nonlinearity,and randomly occurring controller gain fluctuation

This paper investigates the non‐fragile robust control problem for a class of nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with long time‐varying delay. Both the uncertain nonlinearity and the controller gain fluctuation enter into the system in random ways, and such randomly occurring nonlinearity and randomly occurring controller gain fluctuation obey certain mutually uncorrelated Bernoulli distributed white noise sequences. A new time‐varying discrete time system model is proposed to describe the NCS. To reduce conservatism arising from modeling time‐varying parts, the time‐varying parts due to the time‐varying delay are treated as a norm‐bounded uncertainty with one nominal point using robust control techniques. Based on the obtained uncertain system model, a regular and an optimal sufficient non‐fragile controllers are derived by applying the Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality technique, which render the closed‐loop NCS to be asymptotically stable and guarantee an upper bound of the given performance cost for all admissible uncertainties. Moreover, the existence condition and design method for the non‐fragile stabilizing controllers are also presented. Two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust Finite‐Time H∞ Control of a Class of Disturbed Systems using Lmi‐Based Approach

In this paper, the definition of robust finite‐time H_∞ control is presented for a class of disturbed systems. Time‐varying norm‐bounded exogenous disturbance is considered in the system. A state feedback controller is designed, via a Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) approach, which ensures that the closed‐loop system is finite‐time bounded (FTB) and reduces the effect of the disturbance input on the controlled output to a prescribed level. The main result, derived by Lyapunov functions, is a sufficient condition for FTB of disturbed systems and the sufficient condition can be reduced to a feasibility problem involving LMIs. Then a DC motor position control problem is simulated as a demonstration for this study. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method as a promising approach for controlling similar disturbed systems.
