Adaptive stabilization of a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with backstepping control

In this paper, we focus on the problem of adaptive stabilization for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems, whose non-switching part consists of feedback linearizable dynamics. The main result is that we propose adaptive controllers such that the considered switched systems with unknown parameters can be stabilized under arbitrary switching signals. First, we design the adaptive state feedback controller based on tuning the estimations of the bounds on switching parameters in the transformed system, instead of estimating the switching parameters directly. Next, by incorporating some augmented design parameters, the adaptive output feedback controller is designed. The proposed approach allows us to construct a common Lyapunov function and thus the closed-loop system can be stabilized without the restriction on dwell-time, which is needed in most of the existing results considering output feedback control. A numerical example and computer simulations are provided to validate the proposed controllers.     

Fuzzy adaptive backstepping robust control for SISO nonlinear system with dynamic uncertainties

In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive backstepping design procedure is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with three types of uncertainties: (i) nonlinear uncertainties; (ii) unmodeled dynamics and (iii) dynamic disturbances. The fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the nonlinear uncertainties, nonlinear damping terms are used to counteract the dynamic disturbances and fuzzy approximation errors, and a dynamic signal is introduced to dominate the unmodeled dynamics. The derived fuzzy adaptive control approach guarantees the global boundedness property for all the signals and states, and at the same time, steers the output to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation studies are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive neural network control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems using backstepping design

This paper focuses on adaptive control of strict-feedback nonlinear systems using multilayer neural networks (MNNs). By introducing a modified Lyapunov function, a smooth and singularity-free adaptive controller is firstly designed for a first-order plant. Then, an extension is made to high-order nonlinear systems using neural network approximation and adaptive backstepping techniques. The developed control scheme guarantees the uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop adaptive systems. In addition, the relationship between the transient performance and the design parameters is explicitly given to guide the tuning of the controller. One important feature of the proposed NN controller is the highly structural property which makes it particularly suitable for parallel processing in actual implementation. Simulation studies are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Another feature of this scheme is that the neural networks reconstruction error bound is assumed to be unknown and can be estimated online. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

In this paper, a direct fuzzy adaptive robust control approach is proposed for a class of SISO nonlinear systems with completely unknown virtual control directions, unknown nonlinearities, unmodeled dynamics and dynamic disturbances. In the backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the combined nonlinear uncertainties, a dynamic signal and Nussbaum gain technique are introduced into the control scheme to dominate the dynamic uncertainties and solve the unknown signs of virtual control directions, respectively. It is proved that the proposed robust fuzzy adaptive scheme can guarantee the all signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated via three examples.

In this paper, a new fuzzy adaptive control approach is developed for a class of SISO strict-feedback nonlinear systems, in which the nonlinear functions are unknown and the states are not available for feedback. By fuzzy logic systems to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, a fuzzy adaptive high-gain observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured states. Under the framework of the backstepping design, fuzzy adaptive output feedback control is constructed recursively. It is shown that the proposed fuzzy adaptive control approach guarantees the semi-global boundedness property for all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system. Simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Observer-based backstepping control of a 6-dof parallel hydraulic manipulator

In this paper, a backstepping control strategy is proposed to control the 6-dof parallel hydraulic manipulator (Stewart platform) while incorporating an observer-based forward kinematics solver. Different from conventional control methods, the proposed control considers not only the platform dynamics but also the dynamics of the hydraulic actuator. One feature of this work is employing the observer-based forward kinematics solution to achieve the posture tracking goal successfully only with the measurement of actuators lengths. When designing the controller of hydraulic actuators, the friction compensation is applied to improve the performance. The stability of the whole system is thoroughly proved to ensure convergence of the control errors. Simulations and experimental results are presented to validate the hereby proposed results.     

Robust adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems based on backstepping technique

In this paper, the robust adaptive fuzzy tracking control problem is discussed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems. The fuzzy logic systems in Mamdani type are used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions. A design scheme of the robust adaptive fuzzy controller is proposed by use of the backstepping technique. The proposed controller guarantees semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the derived closed-loop system and achieves the good tracking performance. The possible controller singularity problem which may occur in some existing adaptive control schemes with feedback linearization techniques can be avoided. In addition, the number of the on-line adaptive parameters is not more than the order of the designed system. Finally, two simulation examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Adaptive control with guaranteed transient and steady state tracking error bounds for strict feedback systems

Two robust adaptive control schemes for single-input single-output (SISO) strict feedback nonlinear systems possessing unknown nonlinearities, capable of guaranteeing prescribed performance bounds are presented in this paper. The first assumes knowledge of only the signs of the virtual control coefficients, while in the second we relax this assumption by incorporating Nussbaum-type gains, decoupled backstepping and non-integral-type Lyapunov functions. By prescribed performance bounds we mean that the tracking error should converge to an arbitrarily predefined small residual set, with convergence rate no less than a prespecified value, exhibiting a maximum overshoot less than a sufficiently small prespecified constant. A novel output error transformation is introduced to transform the original “constrained” (in the sense of the output error restrictions) system into an equivalent “unconstrained”one. It is proven that the stabilization of the “unconstrained” system is sufficient to solve the problem. Both controllers are smooth and successfully overcome the loss of controllability issue. The fact that we are only concerned with the stabilization of the “unconstrained” system, severely reduces the complexity of selecting both the control parameters and the regressors in the neural approximators. Simulation studies clarify and verify the approach.

Experimental sensorless control for IPMSM by using integral backstepping strategy and adaptive high gain observer

In this paper a robust sensorless control for an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) is designed. The proposed control strategy uses a backstepping controller, whose robustness is improved by using integral actions added at each step of the original algorithm, and by a Maximum-Torque-Per-Ampere strategy (MTPA) to improve its energy efficient operation. Furthermore, to implement this controller in the framework of the mechanical sensorless control from the only measurements of the currents and voltages, an adaptive interconnected high gain observer is developed for estimating the rotor speed, the position and the load torque. Moreover, sufficient conditions are given to ensure the practical stability of the Observer-Controller system even if bounded uncertainties occur. Finally, the performance and the effectiveness of the designed method are tested experimentally throw a significant benchmark including different speed references and with significant robustness tests. A comparative evaluation of the computational effort of our scheme with respect to classical motor control is given.

Adaptive fuzzy backstepping output feedback control for strict feedback nonlinear systems with unknown sign of high-frequency gain

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy robust output feedback control approach is proposed for a class of SISO nonlinear strict-feedback systems with unknown sign of high-frequency gain and the unmeasured states. The nonlinear systems addressed in this paper are assumed to possess the unmodeled dynamics, dynamical disturbances and unknown nonlinear functions, where the unknown nonlinear functions are not linearly parameterized, and no prior knowledge of their bounds is available. In the recursive designing, fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, K-filters are designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and a dynamical signal and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to handle the unmodeled dynamics and the unknown sign of the high-frequency gain, respectively. Based on Lyapunov function method, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It is mathematically proved that the proposed adaptive fuzzy control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded, the output converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by the simulation examples.
