Four wheel steering control by fuzzy approach

This study introduces a fuzzy four-wheel steering control design method for automotive vehicles. After the analysis of some stability aspects of the vehicle lateral motion, including front steering angle variations, the representation of vehicle nonlinear model by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is presented. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a fuzzy controller is developed to improve the stability of the vehicle. Sufficient conditions for stability and stabilization of the T-S fuzzy model using fuzzy feedback controllers is given. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy controller, simulation results are given showing the performance improvements of the vehicle in terms of the stability and the maneuverability in critical situations.     

Fuzzy Control for Nonlinear Uncertain Electrohydraulic Active Suspensions With Input Constraint

This paper presents a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model-based fuzzy control design approach for electrohydraulic active vehicle suspensions considering nonlinear dynamics of the actuator, sprung mass variation, and constraints on the control input. The T-S fuzzy model is first applied to represent the nonlinear uncertain electrohydraulic suspension. Then, a fuzzy state feedback controller is designed for the obtained T-S fuzzy model with optimized H _infin performance for ride comfort by using the parallel-distributed compensation (PDC) scheme. The sufficient conditions for the existence of such a controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical simulations on a full-car suspension model are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the designed controller can achieve good suspension performance despite the existence of nonlinear actuator dynamics, sprung mass variation, and control input constraints.     

Adaptive sliding mode controller design based on T-S fuzzy system models

An adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) technique based on T-S fuzzy system models is proposed in this paper for a class of perturbed nonlinear MIMO dynamic systems in order to solve tracking problems. A T-S fuzzy model is firstly formed by utilizing fuzzy theorem to amalgamate a set of linearized dynamic equations. The adaptive sliding mode controller is then designed based on this fuzzy model with perturbations. The proposed control scheme can drive the dynamics of controlled system into a designated sliding surface in finite time, and guarantee the property of asymptotical stability. It is also shown that the information of upper bound of modeling errors as well as perturbations, except the information of upper bound of input uncertainty, is not required when using the proposed controller.     

Sliding mode learning control for T-S fuzzy system and an application to hypersonic flight vehicle

Sliding mode-based learning control is presented for T-S fuzzy system. A T-S fuzzy model with both uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics is proposed firstly, in which the information of uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics are assumed to be unknown. Then, according to a given reference model, state-tracking error system is built. Respecting facts, the input matrices of the built T-S fuzzy model are different from each other. An extended state observer is built for estimating the unknown uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics, and a corresponding sliding surface is proposed. A learning controller is then presented for the closed loop system. Moreover, a numerical simulation result on hypersonic flight vehicles is considered to testify the controller's availability.

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.

Switching control of an R/C hovercraft: stabilization and smoothswitching

This paper presents stable switching control of an radio-controlled (R/C) hovercraft that is a nonholonomic (nonlinear) system. To exactly represent its nonlinear dynamics, more importantly, to maintain controllability of the system, we newly propose a switching fuzzy model that has locally Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models and switches them according to states, external variables, and/or time. A switching fuzzy controller is constructed by mirroring the rule structure of the switching fuzzy model of an R/C hovercraft. We derive linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions for ensuring the stability of the closed-loop system consisting of a switching fuzzy model and controller. Furthermore, to guarantee smooth switching of control input at switching boundaries, we also derive a smooth switching condition represented in terms of LMIs. A stable switching fuzzy controller satisfying the smooth switching condition is designed by simultaneously solving both of the LMIs. The simulation and experimental results for the trajectory control of an R/C hovercraft show the validity of the switching fuzzy model and controller design, particularly, the smooth switching condition.     

Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model based indirect adaptive fuzzy observer and controller design

This paper proposes the design scheme of the alternative adaptive observer and controller based on the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The T-S fuzzy modeling and the state feedback control technique are adopted for the simple structure. The proposed method maintains consistent performance in the presence of parameter uncertainties and incorporates linguistic fuzzy information from human operators. In addition, with the simple adaptive state feedback controller, it solves the singularity problem, which occurs in the inverse dynamics based on the feedback linearization method. Using Lyapunov theory and Lipschitz condition, the stability analysis is conducted, and the adaptive law is derived. The proposed method is applied to the stabilization problem of a flexible joint manipulator in order to guarantee its performance.     

Finite-dimensional constrained fuzzy control for a class of nonlinear distributed process systems.

This correspondence studies the problem of finite-dimensional constrained fuzzy control for a class of systems described by nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Initially, Galerkin's method is applied to the PDE system to derive a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) system that accurately describes the dynamics of the dominant (slow) modes of the PDE system. Subsequently, a systematic modeling procedure is given to construct exactly a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model for the finite-dimensional ODE system under state constraints. Then, based on the T-S fuzzy model, a sufficient condition for the existence of a stabilizing fuzzy controller is derived, which guarantees that the state constraints are satisfied and provides an upper bound on the quadratic performance function for the finite-dimensional slow system. The resulting fuzzy controllers can also guarantee the exponential stability of the closed-loop PDE system. Moreover, a local optimization algorithm based on the linear matrix inequalities is proposed to compute the feedback gain matrices of a suboptimal fuzzy controller in the sense of minimizing the quadratic performance bound. Finally, the proposed design method is applied to the control of the temperature profile of a catalytic rod.     

Variable-Gain Controllers for Nonlinear Systems Using the T–S Fuzzy Model

This correspondence proposes two novel control schemes with variable state-feedback gain to stabilize a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system. The T-S fuzzy model is expressed as a linear plant with nonlinear disturbance terms in both schemes. In controller I, the T-S fuzzy model is expressed as a linear plant around a nominal plant arbitrarily selected from the set of linear subsystems that the T-S fuzzy model consists of. The variable gain then becomes a function of a gain parameter that is computed to neutralize the effect of disturbance term, which is, in essence, the deviation of the actual system dynamics from the nominal plant as the system traverses a specific trajectory. This controller is shown to stabilize the T-S fuzzy model. In controller II, individual linear subsystems are locally stabilized. Fuzzy blending of individual control actions is shown to make the T-S fuzzy system Lyapunov stable. Although applicability of both control schemes depends on the norm bound of unmatched state disturbance, this constraint is relaxed further in controller II. The efficacy of controllers I and II has been tested on two nonlinear systems

This controller is shown to stabilize the T-S fuzzy model. In controller II, individual linear subsystems are locally stabilized. Fuzzy blending of individual control actions is shown to make the T-S fuzzy system Lyapunov stable. Although applicability of both control schemes depends on the norm bound of unmatched state disturbance, this constraint is relaxed further in controller II.
