Robust adaptive neural control of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems

In this paper, a robust adaptive neural control design approach is presented for a class of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems. To reduce the complexity of the both controller structure and computation, only one neural network is used to approximate the lumped unknown function of the system at the last step of the recursive design process. By this approach, the complexity growing problem existing in conventional methods can be eliminated completely. Stability analysis shows that all the closed-loop system signals are uniformly ultimately bounded, and the steady state tracking error can be made arbitrarily small by appropriately choosing control parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed approach.     

Global adaptive stabilisation for nonlinear systems with unknown control directions and input disturbance

This paper addresses the global adaptive stabilisation via switching and learning strategies for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. Remarkably, the systems in question simultaneously have unknown control directions, unknown input disturbance and unknown growth rate, which makes the problem in question challenging to solve and essentially different from those in the existing literature. To solve the problem, an adaptive scheme via switching and learning is proposed by skilfully integrating the techniques of backstepping design, adaptive learning and adaptive switching. One key point in the design scheme is the introduction of the learning mechanism, in order to compensate the unknown input disturbance, and the other one is the design of the switching mechanism, through tuning the design parameters online to deal with the unknown control directions, unknown bound and period of input disturbance and unknown growth rate. The designed controller guarantees that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop systems are bounded, and furthermore, the closed-loop system states globally converge to zero.     

Full state constraints-based adaptive control for switched nonlinear pure-feedback systems

This paper investigates the problem of full state constraints-based adaptive control for a class of switched nonlinear pure-feedback systems under arbitrary switchings. First, the switched pure-feedback system is transformed into a switched strict-feedback system with non-affine terms based on the mean value theorem. Then, by exploiting the common Lyapunov function (CLF) method, the Barrier Lyapunov function method and backstepping, state feedback controllers of individual subsystems and a common Barrier Lyapunov function (CBLF) are constructed, which guarantee that all signals in the closed-loop system are global uniformly bounded under arbitrary switchings, and full state constraints are not violated. Furthermore, the tracking error can converge to a bounded compact set. Two examples, which include a single-link robot as a practical example, are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

On transient performance improvement of adaptive control architectures

While adaptive control theory has been used in numerous applications to achieve given system stabilisation or command following criteria without excessive reliance on mathematical models, the ability to obtain a predictable transient performance is still an important problem – especially for applications to safety-critical systems and when there is no a-priori knowledge on upper bounds of existing system uncertainties. To address this problem, we present a new approach to improve the transient performance of adaptive control architectures. In particular, our approach is predicated on a novel controller architecture, which involves added terms in the update law entitled artificial basis functions. These terms are constructed through a gradient optimisation procedure to minimise the system error between an uncertain dynamical system and a given reference model during the learning phase of an adaptive controller. We provide a detailed stability analysis of the proposed approach, discuss the practical aspects of its implementation, and illustrate its efficacy on a numerical example.     

Observer-based adaptive fuzzy backstepping control of uncertain nonlinear pure-feedback systems

In this paper,a new fuzzy adaptive control approach is developed for a class of SISO uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems with immeasurable states.Fuzzy logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions;and the filtered signals are introduced to circumvent algebraic loop systems encountered in the implementation of the controller,and a fuzzy state adaptive observer is designed to estimate the immeasurable states.By combining the adaptive backstepping technique,an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed.It is proven that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded(SGUUB),and the observer and tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriate choice of the design parameters.Simulation studies are included to illustrate the efectiveness of the proposed approach.

Adaptive output-feedback stabilisation for hybrid PDE–ODE systems with uncertain input disturbances

This paper is concerned with the adaptive output-feedback stabilisation for a class of hybrid partial differential equation (PDE)–ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems with uncertain input disturbances. Remarkably, in this paper, only two boundary measurements of the considered system are available for feedback. Moreover, the unknown parameters involved in the system are allowed to belong to an unknown interval. These two aspects make the considered system essentially different from those in the closely related literature. Inspired by the existing results, an observer is first introduced to estimate the unmeasured states of the original system. Then, by adaptive technique and backstepping method, an adaptive output-feedback controller is successfully constructed, which guarantees that the entire closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and moreover, the parameter estimates converge to their own real values ultimately. Besides, by the semigroup approach, the well-posedness of the entire closed-loop system is achieved. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Adaptive fuzzy control for pure-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zone input

This paper is concerned with the problem of adaptive fuzzy output tracking control for a class of nonlinear pure-feedback stochastic systems with unknown dead-zone. Fuzzy logic systems in Mamdani type are used to approximate the unknown nonlinearities, then a novel adaptive fuzzy tracking controller is designed by using backstepping technique. The control scheme is systematically derived without requiring any information on the boundedness of dead-zone parameters (slopes and break-points) and the repeated differentiation of the virtual control signals. The proposed adaptive fuzzy controller guarantees that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded in probability and the system output eventually converges to a small neighbourhood of the desired reference signal in the sense of mean quartic value. Simulation results further illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
