Finite Time Fractional-order Adaptive Backstepping Fault Tolerant Control of Robotic Manipulator

In this paper, fractional calculus theory is employed to inspect a finite time fault tolerant controller for robotic manipulators in the presence of uncertainties, unknown external load disturbances, and actuator faults, using fractional-order adaptive backstepping approach in order to achieve, fast response and high-precision tracking performance. Knowing the advantages of adaptive controllers an adaptive form of the above controller is then established to deal with the overall uncertainties in the system. The most important property of the proposed controller is that we do not need to have knowledge about the actuator fault, external disturbances and system uncertainties exist in system. In this study two important achievements are made. The first one is that the finite time convergence of closed-loop system is ensured irrespective of initial states values. The second one is that the effects of the actuator faults and other uncertainties are attenuated by the suggested controller. The performance of the suggested controller is then tested for a PUMA560 robot in which the first three joints are used. The simulation results validate the usefulness of the suggested finite-time fractional-order adaptive backstepping fault-tolerant (FOAB-FTC) controller in terms of accuracy of tracking, and convergent speed.

     

Lyapunov-based control design for multiple robots handling a common object

In this article, we address the problem of controlling multiple robots manipulating a rigid object cooperatively. First we propose and prove a few fundamental properties of the multirobot dynamical system. These properties are then exploited to design aset point regulation controller. The proposed controller takes into account the dynamics of both the object and the manipulators. This controller enables us to control the position of the object and the internal forces acting on the object. An adaptive version of the proposed controller is then introduced. The adaptive controller is able to account for the uncertainty in the mass of the load while ensuring the asymptotic convergence of the load position and the internal forces to their desired values.

Continuous shape-grinding experiment based on model-independent force/position hybrid control method with on-line spline approximation

Based on the analysis of interaction between manipulator’s hand and working object, a model representing the constrained dynamics of robot is first discussed. The constraint forces are expressed by algebraic function of states, input generalized forces, and constraint condition, and then a decoupling control method of force and position of manipulator’s hand tip is proposed. In order to give the grinding system the ability to adapt to any object shape being changed by the grinding, estimating function of the constraint condition in real time for the adaptive force/position control was added, which is indispensable for the proposed method without using force sensor. This paper explores whether the performance of the proposed controller is independent of alloy work-piece models or not. The experimental result is shown to verify the feature of the decoupling control of force and position of the tip.

Modeling and adaptive coordination control of a two-Robot system

Multiple robots are usually required in a flexible manufacturing system or a complex working environment. In particular, when an object under processing is too big or too heavy, a single robot is insufficient to handle it. Two robots are applicable in such case. This article aims to develop a complete mathematical model and an adaptive controller for two robots carrying a common load. It will be shown that the dynamic model of the two-robot system turns out to be a singular system, taking into account the object dynamics. The condition for which the system model holds is also discussed. The adaptive controller will be used to overcome uncertainties in the object dynamics and robots. The distributed forces in the robot end effectors are determined by an optimal criterion. It will be shown that the adaptive controller surpasses the conventional computed torque controller.     

Semi-decentralized adaptive fuzzy control for cooperativemultirobot systems with H∞ motion/internal forcetracking performance

We present a semi-decentralized adaptive fuzzy control scheme for cooperative multirobot systems to achieve H(infinity) performance in motion and internal force tracking. First, we reformulate the overall system dynamics into a fully actuated system with constraints. To cope with both parametric and nonparametric uncertainties, the controller for each robot consists of two parts: 1) model-based adaptive controller; and 2) adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The model-based adaptive controller handles the nominal dynamics which results in both zero motion and internal force errors for a pure parametric uncertain system. The FLC part handles the unstructured dynamics and external disturbances. An H(infinity) tracking problem defined by a novel performance criterion is given and solved in the sequel. Hence, a robust controller satisfying the disturbance attenuation is derived being simple and singularity-free. Asymptotic convergence is obtained when the fuzzy approximation error is bounded with finite energy. Maintaining the same results, the proposed controller is further simplified for easier implementation. Finally, the numerical simulation results for two cooperative planar robots transporting an object illustrate the expected performance.

Wavelet neural adaptive proportional plus conventional integral-derivative controller design of SSSC for transient stability improvement

Although the PI or PID (PI/PID) controllers have many advantages, their control performance may be degraded when the controlled object is highly nonlinear and uncertain; the main problem is related to static nature of fixed-gain PI/PID controllers. This work aims to propose a wavelet neural adaptive proportional plus conventional integral-derivative (WNAP+ID) controller to solve the PI/PID controller problems. To create an adaptive nature for PI/PID controller and for online processing of the error signal, this work subtly employs a one to one offline trained self-recurrent wavelet neural network as a processing unit (SRWNN-PU) in series connection with the fixed-proportional gain of conventional PI/PID controller. Offline training of the SRWNN-PU can be performed with any virtual training samples, independent of plant data, and it is thus possible to use a generalized SRWNN-PU for any systems. Employing a SRWNN-identifier (SRWNNI), the SRWNN-PU parameters are then updated online to process the error signal and minimize a control cost function in real-time operation. Although the proposed WNAP+ID is not limited to power system applications, it is used as supplementary damping controller of static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) of two SSSC-aided power systems to enhance the transient stability. The nonlinear time-domain simulation and system performance characteristics in terms of ITAE revealed that the WNAP+ID has more control proficiency in comparison to PID controller. As additional simulations, the features of the proposed controller are compared to those of the literature while some of its promising features like its fast noise-rejection ability and its high online adapting ability are also highlighted.     

Homography-based visual servo regulation of mobile robots.

A monocular camera-based vision system attached to a mobile robot (i.e., the camera-in-hand configuration) is considered in this paper. By comparing corresponding target points of an object from two different camera images, geometric relationships are exploited to derive a transformation that relates the actual position and orientation of the mobile robot to a reference position and orientation. This transformation is used to synthesize a rotation and translation error system from the current position and orientation to the fixed reference position and orientation. Lyapunov-based techniques are used to construct an adaptive estimate to compensate for a constant, unmeasurable depth parameter, and to prove asymptotic regulation of the mobile robot. The contribution of this paper is that Lyapunov techniques are exploited to craft an adaptive controller that enables mobile robot position and orientation regulation despite the lack of an object model and the lack of depth information. Experimental results are provided to illustrate the performance of the controller.

Adaptive neural controller for cooperative multiple robot manipulator system manipulating a single rigid object

In this article, an adaptive neural controller is developed for cooperative multiple robot manipulator system carrying and manipulating a common rigid object. In coordinated manipulation of a single object using multiple robot manipulators simultaneous control of the object motion and the internal force exerted by manipulators on the object is required. Firstly, an integrated dynamic model of the manipulators and the object is derived in terms of object position and orientation as the states of the derived model. Based on this model, a controller is proposed that achieves required trajectory tracking of the object as well as tracking of the desired internal forces arising in the system. A feedforward neural network is employed to learn the unknown dynamics of robot manipulators and the object. It is shown that the neural network can cope with the unknown nonlinearities through the adaptive learning process and requires no preliminary offline learning. The adaptive learning algorithm is derived from Lyapunov stability analysis so that both error convergence and tracking stability are guaranteed in the closed loop system. Finally, simulation studies and analysis are carried out for two three-link planar manipulators moving a circular disc on specified trajectory.     

Robust adaptive fuzzy logic power system stabilizer

This paper introduces a robust adaptive fuzzy controller as a power system stabilizer (RFPSS) used to damp inter-area modes of oscillation following disturbances in power systems. In contrast to the IEEE standard multi-band power system stabilizer (MB-PSS), robust adaptive fuzzy-based stabilizers are more efficient because they cope with oscillations at different operating points. The proposed controller adopts a dynamic inversion approach. Since feedback linearization is practically imperfect, components that ensure robust and adaptive performance are included in the control law to compensate for modelling errors and achieve acceptable tracking errors. Two fuzzy systems are implemented. The first system models the nominal values of the system’s nonlinearities. The second system is an adaptive one that compensates for modelling errors. A feedback linearization-based control law is implemented using the identified model. The gains of the controller are tuned via a particle swarm optimization routine to ensure system stability and minimum sum of the squares of the speed deviations. A bench-mark problem of a 4-machine 2-area power system is used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller and to show its superiority over other conventional stabilizers used in the literature.
