Robust fuzzy neural network control for linear ceramic motor drivevia backstepping design technique

This study presents a robust fuzzy-neural-network (RFNN) control system for a linear ceramic motor (LCM) that is driven by an unipolar switching full-bridge voltage source inverter using LC resonant technique. The structure and operating principle of the LCM are introduced. Since the dynamic characteristics and motor parameters of the LCM are nonlinear and time varying, a RFNN control system is designed based on the hypothetical dynamic model to achieve high-precision position control via the backstepping design technique. In the RFNN control system a fuzzy neural network (FNN) controller is used to learn an ideal feedback linearization control law, and a robust controller is designed to compensate the shortcoming of the FNN controller. All adaptive learning algorithms in the RFNN control system are derived from the sense of Lyapunov stability analysis, so that system-tracking stability can be guaranteed in the closed-loop system. The effectiveness of the proposed RFNN control system is verified by experimental results in the presence of uncertainties. In addition, the advantages of the proposed control system are indicated in comparison with the traditional integral-proportional (IP) position control system     

Adaptive positioning control of an ultrasonic linear motor system

A 3PRR parallel precision positioning system, driven by three ultrasonic linear motors, was designed for use as the object stage of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). To improve the tracking accuracy of the parallel platform, the positioning control algorithms for the drive joints needed to be studied. The dead-zone phenomenon caused by static friction reduces the trajectory tracking accuracy significantly. Linear control algorithms such as PID (Proportion Integration Differentiation) are unable to compensate effectively for the dead-zone nonlinearity. To address this problem, two types of feedforward compensation control algorithms have been investigated. One is constant feedforward with the integral separation PID; the other is adaptive feedback and feedforward based on the model reference adaptive control (MRAC). Simulations and experiments were conducted using these two control algorithms. The results demonstrated that the constant feedforward with integral separation PID algorithm can compensate for the time-invariant system after identifying the dead-zone depth, while the adaptive feedback and feedforward algorithm is more suitable for the time-varying system. The experimental results show good agreement with the simulation results for these two control algorithms. For the dead-zone nonlinearity caused by the static friction, the adaptive feedback and feedforward algorithm can effectively improve the trajectory tracking accuracy.     

Robust control for nonlinear motor-mechanism coupling system using wavelet neural network

A robust controlled toggle mechanism, which is driven by a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous servo motor is studied in this paper. First, based on the principle of computed torque control, a position controller is developed for the motor-mechanism coupling system. Moreover, to relax the requirement of the lumped uncertainty in the design of a computed torque controller, a wavelet neural network (WNN) uncertainty observer is utilized to adapt the lumped uncertainty online. Furthermore, based on the Lyapunov stability a robust control system, which combines the computed torque controller, the WNN uncertainty observer and a compensated controller is proposed to control the position of the motor-mechanism coupling system. The computed torque controller with WNN uncertainty observer is the main tracking controller, and the compensated controller is designed to compensate the minimum approximation error of the uncertainty observer. Finally, simulated and experimental results due to a periodic sinusoidal command show that the dynamic behaviors of the proposed robust control system are robust with regard to parametric variations and external disturbances.

Backstepping wavelet neural network control for indirect field-oriented induction motor drive

This study address a newly designed decoupling system and a backstepping wavelet neural network (WNN) control system for achieving high-precision position-tracking performance of an indirect field-oriented induction motor (IM) drive. First, a decoupling mechanism with an online inverse time-constant estimation algorithm is derived on the basis of model reference adaptive system theory to preserve the decoupling control characteristic of an indirect field-oriented IM drive. Moreover, based on the backstepping design methodology, a desired feedback control law is developed for ensuring the favorable control performance. However, the uncertainties, such as mechanical parameter uncertainty, external load disturbance, unstructured uncertainty due to nonideal field orientation in transient state, and unmodeled dynamics in practical applications, are difficult to know in advance. Thus, the stability of the desired feedback control may be destroyed. Due to the powerful approximation ability of WNN, a backstepping WNN control scheme is designed in this study to control the rotor position of an indirect field-oriented IM drive for periodic motion. This control scheme contains two parts: one is a WNN control that is utilized to mimic the desired feedback control law, and the other is a robust control that is designed to recover the residual part of approximation for ensuring the stable control characteristic. In addition, numerical simulation and experimental results due to periodic commands are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.     

Robust adaptive neural network control for environmental boundary tracking by mobile robots

The paper addresses the problem of environmental boundary tracking for the nonholonomic mobile robot with uncertain dynamics and external disturbances. To do environmental boundary tracking, a reference velocity is designed for the nonholonomic mobile robot. In this paper, a radial basis function neural network (NN) is used to approximate a nonlinear function containing the uncertain model terms and the elements of the Hessian matrix of the environmental concentration function. Then, the NN approximator is combined with a robust control to construct a robust adaptive NN control for the mobile robot to track the desired environment boundary. It is proved that the tracking error can be guaranteed to converge to zero in the ultimate. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the stability of the robust adaptive control.

Robust reliable control design for networked control system with sampling communication

In this article, the problem of robust exponential stability and reliable stabilisation for a class of continuous-time networked control systems (NCSs) with a sample-data controller and unknown time-varying sampling rate is considered. The analysis is based on average dwell-time, Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. The delay-dependent criteria are developed for ensuring the robust exponential stability of the considered NCSs. The obtained conditions are formulated in terms of LMIs that can easily be solved by using standard software packages. Furthermore, the result is extended to study the robust stabilisation for NCS with parameter uncertainties. A state feedback controller is constructed in terms of the solution to a set of LMIs, which guarantee the robust exponential stabilisation of NCS and the controller. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Robust passivity-based control design for active nonlinear suspension system

In this article, we propose a novel interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) design for a quarter car nonlinear active suspension system. As an energy shaping method, IDA-PBC is suitable for applying the main concept of skyhook (SH) control. In addition to the damping term, we utilize the characteristics of the energy shaping method to change the sprung and unsprung masses, thereby strengthening the vibration suppression effect. An IDA-PBC-based controller design for an active suspension system, which includes a nonlinear spring, a nonlinear damper, and mass uncertainty, is proposed. Different from most IDA-PBC applications, which tend to control the position or the velocity, our methods focus on transforming a nonlinear suspension system into a desired linear system with ideal aseismatic properties. Unlike a conventional controller using the SH control strategy, we design a virtual vehicle body and an unsprung mass in addition to the damper coefficients. By deriving the port-Hamiltonian form of the suspension system from its dynamics and rewriting it based on the relative coordinates, we obtain a feedback law that only uses the relative displacement and velocity of the suspension system. We derive the conditions for ensuring the global asymptotical stability of the suspension system and propose the guidelines for parameter selection that can guarantee robust stability against parameter uncertainties.     

Self-organizing neural control system design for dynamic processes

This paper discusses the achievable nominal performance of a well-parametrized neural feedback control system, and proposes an efficient training method for parametrizing such a controller. A self-organizing neural control (SONC) system is presented in which a layered feedforward neural network is adopted as the controller structure in order to apply directly existing back-propagated learning techniques. A self-organizing methodology is introduced to provide the training set for adjusting parameters of the neural controller. One important feature of the proposed adaptive mechanism is that, though it should lack extensive knowledge of the process dynamics at the outset of controller design, it will still be able to achieve its desired results by employing the subjective experience of control specialists as its training aids. Tuning variables of the SONC system are reviewed through exploring their effects on five typical transfer functions. The applicability of the SONC system is also demonstrated on a continuous stirred tank reactor. Simulation results show that a well-parametrized neural controller can improve nominal performance for a wide variety of different processes, and the proposed self-organizing mechanism can direct a controller to achieve the desired final parametrization.

Intelligent transportation control system design using wavelet neural network and PID-type learning algorithms

In this paper, an intelligent transportation control system (ITCS) using wavelet neural network (WNN) and proportional-integral-derivative-type (PID-type) learning algorithms is developed to increase the safety and efficiency in transportation process. The proposed control system is composed of a neural controller and an auxiliary compensation controller. The neural controller acts as the main tracking controller, which is designed via a WNN to mimic the merits of an ideal total sliding-mode control (TSMC) law. The PID-type learning algorithms are derived from the Lyapunov stability theorem, which are utilized to adjust the parameters of WNN on-line for further assuring system stability and obtaining a fast convergence. Moreover, based on H_∞ control technique, the auxiliary compensation controller is developed to attenuate the effect of the approximation error between WNN and ideal TSMC law, so that the desired attenuation level can be achieved. Finally, to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy, it is applied to control a marine transportation system and a land transportation system. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed WNN-based ITCS with PID-type learning algorithms can achieve favorable control performance than other control methods.

Moreover, an online parameter training methodology, which is derived using the Lyapunov stability theorem and the gradient descent method is proposed to increase the learning capability of the RFNN. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by both the simulated and experimental results. Furthermore, the advantages of the proposed control system are indicated in comparison with the sliding mode control system
