LMI‐based robust sliding control for mismatched uncertain nonlinear systems using fuzzy models

We propose a robust sliding control design method for uncertain Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models. The uncertain fuzzy systems under consideration have mismatched parameter uncertainties in the state matrix and external disturbances. We make the first attempt to relax the restrictive assumption that each nominal local system model shares the same input channel, which is required in the traditional VSS‐based fuzzy control design methods. We derive the existence conditions of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing the asymptotic stability in terms of constrained LMIs. We present an LMI characterization of such sliding surfaces. Also, an LMI‐based algorithm is given to design the switching feedback control term so that a stable sliding motion is induced in finite time. Finally, we give two simulation results to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Variable structure control of dynamical systems with mismatched norm-bounded uncertainties: An LMI approach

In this paper, we propose a new sliding surface design method for a class of uncertain systems with mismatched unstructured uncertainties. We relax the matching assumption of traditional VSC design methods, and the uncertain system under consideration may have mismatched parameter uncertainties in the state matrix as well as the input matrix. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), we give a sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing asymptotic stability of the reduced-order equivalent sliding mode dynamics. We give an LMI parameterization of such sliding surfaces together with a switched feedback control strategy. We also give an LMI existence condition of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing the prescribed decay rate. Finally, we give simulation results to show the effectiveness of our method.     

Robust Stabilization of Uncertain Fuzzy Systems Using Variable Structure System Approach

Based on the variable structure system (VSS) theory, we develop a fuzzy control system design method for a class of uncertain nonlinear multivariable systems that can be represented by a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. We make the first attempt to relax the restrictive assumption that each nominal local system model shares the same input channel, which is required in the traditional VSS-based fuzzy control design methods. As the local controller we use a sliding mode controller with a switching feedback control term. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), we derive a sufficient condition for the existence of linear sliding surfaces guaranteeing asymptotic stability of the reduced-order equivalent sliding mode dynamics. We present an LMI characterization of such sliding surfaces. We also give an LMI-based algorithm to design the switching feedback control term so that a stable sliding motion is induced in finite time. Finally, we give a numerical design example.     

Design of variable structure control for fuzzy nonlinear systems

In this paper, the variable structure control problem is presented for Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with uncertainties and external disturbances. The sliding surfaces for the T–S fuzzy system are proposed by using a Lyapunov function and a fuzzy Lyapunov function, respectively. And we design the variable structure controllers such that the global T–S fuzzy system confined on the sliding surfaces is asymptotically stable. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.     

Variable Structure Control of Robot Manipulators with Perturbation Estimator

The idea of perturbation compensation is incorporated in variable structure control (VSC) of robot manipulators to cancel the effects of system parametric uncertainties and external disturbances and hence alleviate control chattering. By using the dynamic response of the robot as characterized by the sliding function, a technique is proposed to deduce the system perturbation signal. For practical implementation, a perturbation estimator is introduced to approximate the system uncertainties. Estimates of the bounds on modelling errors and external disturbances are not required while signal measurement uncertainties can be accommodated. The suggested VSC law ensures that the robot control system reaches the sliding mode in finite time and with prescribed transient behaviour. Detailed computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this new approach.

We propose a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sliding surface design method for integral sliding-mode control of mismatched uncertain systems. The uncertain system under consideration may have mismatched norm bounded uncertainties in the state matrix as well as the input matrix. We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a sliding surface guaranteeing asymptotic stability of the full order sliding mode dynamics. We also give an LMI characterization of the sliding surface, together with an integral sliding mode control law guaranteeing the existence of a sliding mode from the initial time. Additionally, we give an LMI condition of sliding surfaces guaranteeing the alpha-stability constraint. Finally, we give a simulation result to show the effectiveness of our method

Sliding mode control of two-level quantum systems

This paper proposes a robust control method based on sliding mode design for two-level quantum systems with bounded uncertainties. An eigenstate of the two-level quantum system is identified as a sliding mode. The objective is to design a control law to steer the system’s state into the sliding mode domain and then maintain it in that domain when bounded uncertainties exist in the system Hamiltonian. We propose a controller design method using the Lyapunov methodology and periodic projective measurements. In particular, we give conditions for designing such a control law, which can guarantee the desired robustness in the presence of the uncertainties. The sliding mode control method has potential applications to quantum information processing with uncertainties.

Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller for linear systems with mismatched time-varying uncertainties

A new design approach for an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) for linear systems with mismatched time-varying uncertainties is presented. The coefficient matrix of the sliding function can be designed to satisfy a sliding coefficient matching condition provided time-varying uncertainties are bounded. With the sliding coefficient matching condition satisfied, an AFSMC is proposed to stabilize the uncertain system. The parameters of output fuzzy sets in the fuzzy mechanism are on-line adapted to improve the performance of the fuzzy sliding mode control system. The bounds of uncertainties are not required to be known in advance for the AFSMC. Stability of the fuzzy control system is guaranteed and the system is shown to be invariant on the sliding surface. Moreover, chattering around the sliding surface in sliding mode control can be reduced by the proposed design approach. Simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed AFSMC.     

Robust stability analysis and fuzzy-scheduling control for nonlinear systems subject to actuator saturation

Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models can provide an effective representation of complex nonlinear systems in terms of fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning applied to a set of linear input-output submodels. In this paper, the TS fuzzy modeling approach is utilized to carry out the stability analysis and control design for nonlinear systems with actuator saturation. The TS fuzzy representation of a nonlinear system subject to actuator saturation is presented. In our TS fuzzy representation, the modeling error is also captured by norm-bounded uncertainties. A set invariance condition for the system in the TS fuzzy representation is first established. Based on this set invariance condition, the problem of estimating the domain of attraction of a TS fuzzy system under a constant state feedback law is formulated and solved as a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization problem. By viewing the state feedback gain as an extra free parameter in the LMI optimization problem, we arrive at a method for designing state feedback gain that maximizes the domain of attraction. A fuzzy scheduling control design method is also introduced to further enlarge the domain of attraction. An inverted pendulum is used to show the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy controller.     

Dynamical adaptive integral backstepping variable structure controller design for uncertain systems and experimental application

In this study, a dynamical adaptive integral backstepping variable structure control (DAIBVSC) system based on the Lyapunov stability theorem is proposed for the trajectory tracking control of a nonlinear uncertain mechatronic system with disturbances. In this control scheme, no prior knowledge is required on the uncertain parameters and disturbances because it is estimated by two types of dynamical adaptive laws. These adaptive laws are integrated into the dynamical adaptive integral backstepping control and variable structure control (VSC) parts of the DAIBVSC. The dynamical adaptive law in the dynamical adaptive integral backstepping control part updates parametric uncertainties, while the other in the VSC part adapts upper bounds of non‐parametric uncertainties and disturbances. In order to achieve a more robust output tracking and better parameter adaptation, the control system is extended by one integrator and sliding surface is augmented by an integral action. Experimental evaluation of the DAIBVSC is conducted with respect to performance and robustness to parametric uncertainties. Experimental results of the DAIBVSC are compared with those of a traditional VSC. The proposed DAIBVSC exhibits satisfactory output tracking performance, good estimation of the uncertain parameters and can reject disturbances with a chattering free control law.

FUZZY SLIDING MODE CONTROL WITH PIECEWISE LINEAR SWITCHING MANIFOLD

Variable Structure Control (VSC) has been successfully established in control systems engineering in the past two decades. Recently, Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control (FSMC) techniques have drawn the attention of the scientific community, due to their effectiveness in reducing the typical chattering phenomenon arising in VSC. In this paper we present a novel FSMC technique for a class of second order dynamical systems based on a piecewise linear sliding manifold. The proposed approach enhances the effectiveness of VSC in the presence of a saturated control input. In addition, employing the proposed VSC with fuzzy rule based algorithms results in smooth dynamics when the trajectory is in the vicinity of the switching manifold, as opposed to the typical chattering arising under classical VSC. After illustrating the proposed strategy on a simple design example, the approach is applied to an inverted pendulum, a well‐known benchmark for automatic control techniques. The effectiveness of the technique is shown both by means of simulation tests and experiments on a lab equipment. Future research directions include the extension of the technique in the presence of uncertainties in the plant model.

Intelligent tracking control of a dual‐arm wheeled mobile manipulator with dynamic uncertainties

This paper presents an intelligent control approach that incorporates sliding mode control (SMC) and fuzzy neural network (FNN) into the implementation of back‐stepping control for a path tracking problem of a dual‐arm wheeled mobile manipulator subject to dynamic uncertainties and nonholonomic constraints. By using the back‐stepping technique, the system equations are reformulated into two levels: the kinematic level and the dynamic level. A sliding manifold is constructed by considering the disturbance free kinematic level equations only. With all the system uncertainties concentrated in the dynamic level, an FNN controller associated with a switching type of control law is employed to enforce sliding mode on the prescribed manifold. All parameter adjustment rules for the proposed controller are derived from the Lyapunov theory such that uniform ultimate boundedness for both the tracking error and the FNN weighting updates is ensured. A simulation study, which compares different control design approaches, is included to illustrate the promise of the proposed SMC–FNN method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller for linear systems with mismatched time-varying uncertainties

A new design approach of an adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller for linear systems with mismatched time-varying uncertainties is presented in this paper. A fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller is designed to retain the advantages of the terminal sliding mode controller and to reduce the chattering occurred with the terminal sliding mode controller. The sufficient condition is provided for the uncertain system to be invariant on the sliding surface. The parameters of the output fuzzy sets in the fuzzy mechanism are adapted on-line to improve the performance of the fuzzy sliding mode control system. The bounds of the uncertainties are not required to be known in advance for the presented adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller. The stability of the fuzzy control system is also guaranteed. Moreover, the chattering around the sliding surface in the sliding mode control can be reduced by the proposed design approach. Simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller.     

Sliding mode control of wind-induced vibrations using fuzzy sliding surface and gain adaptation

Although fuzzy/adaptive sliding mode control can reduce the chattering problem in structural vibration control applications, they require the equivalent control and the upper bounds of the system uncertainties. In this paper, we used fuzzy logic to approximate the standard sliding surface and designed a dead-zone adaptive law for tuning the switching gain of the sliding mode control. The stability of the proposed controller is established using Lyapunov stability theory. A six-storey building prototype equipped with an active mass damper has been used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller towards the wind-induced vibrations.
