Fuzzy Policy Reinforcement Learning in Cooperative Multi-robot Systems

A multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm with fuzzy policy is addressed in this paper. This algorithm is used to deal with some control problems in cooperative multi-robot systems. Specifically, a leader-follower robotic system and a flocking system are investigated. In the leader-follower robotic system, the leader robot tries to track a desired trajectory, while the follower robot tries to follow the reader to keep a formation. Two different fuzzy policies are developed for the leader and follower, respectively. In the flocking system, multiple robots adopt the same fuzzy policy to flock. Initial fuzzy policies are manually crafted for these cooperative behaviors. The proposed learning algorithm finely tunes the parameters of the fuzzy policies through the policy gradient approach to improve control performance. Our simulation results demonstrate that the control performance can be improved after the learning.

An Adaptive Fuzzy Control Model for Multi-Joint Manipulators

Multi-joint manipulator systems are subject to nonlinear influences such as frictional characteristics, random disturbances and load variations. To account for uncertain disturbances in the operation of manipulators, we propose an adaptive manipulator control method based on a multi-joint fuzzy system, in which the upper bound information of the fuzzy system is constant and the state variables of the manipulator control system are measurable. The control algorithm of the system is a MIMO (multi-input-multi-output) fuzzy system that can approximate system error by using a robust adaptive control law to eliminate the shadow caused by approximation error. It can ensure the stability of complex manipulator control systems and reduce the number of fuzzy rules required. Comparison of experimental and simulation data shows that the controller designed using this algorithm has highly-precise trajectory-tracking control and can control robotic systems with complex characteristics of non-linearity, coupling and uncertainty. Therefore, the proposed algorithm has good practical application prospects and promotes the development of complex control systems.     

Multirobot Formations Based on the Queue-Formation Scheme With Limited Communication

In this paper, we investigate the operation of the queue-formation structure (or Q-structure) in multirobot teams with limited communication. Information flow can be divided into two time scales: (1) the fast-time scale where the robots' reactive actions are determined based only on local communication and (2) the slow-time scale, where information required is less demanding, can be collected over a longer time, and intermittent information loss can be afforded. Therefore, there is no need for global information at all times, reducing the overall communication load. In addition, a dynamic target determination algorithm, based on the Q-structure, is used to produce a series of targets that incrementally guide each robot into formation. It provides greater control over the distance between robots on the same queue, instead of relying on inter robot repulsive distance, and, allows better formation scaling. An analysis of the convergence of the system of robots and realistic simulation studies are provided.

GA-based modified adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller for nonlinear systems

In this paper, the stability analysis of the GA-based adaptive fuzzy sliding model controller for a nonlinear system is presented. First, an uncertain and nonlinear plant for the tracking of a reference trajectory is well approximated and described via the reference model and the fuzzy model involving fuzzy logic control rules. Next, the difficulty in designing a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) capable of rapidly and efficiently controlling complex and nonlinear systems is how to select the most appropriate initial values for the parameter vector. The initial values of the consequent parameter vector are decided via the genetic algorithm. After this, a modified adaptive law can be adopted to find the best high-performance parameters for the fuzzy sliding model controller. The adaptive fuzzy sliding model controller is derived to simultaneously stabilize and control the system. The stability of the nonlinear system is ensured by the derivation of the stability criterion based upon Lyapunov’s direct method. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided as an example to demonstrate the control methodology.

Using the proposed methods, linguistic knowledge from human experts represented by fuzzy if-then rules and numerical data from measuring instruments can be integrated into a single information processing system (classification system or fuzzy control system). It is shown that the scheme works well for simple examples

Adaptive fuzzy identification and predictive control for industrial processes

This paper proposes a method for adaptive identification and control for industrial applications. The learning of a T–S fuzzy model is performed from input/output data to approximate unknown nonlinear processes by a hierarchical genetic algorithm (HGA). The HGA approach is composed by five hierarchical levels where the following parameters of the T–S fuzzy system are learned: input variables and their respective time delays, antecedent fuzzy sets, consequent parameters, and fuzzy rules. In order to reduce the computational cost and increase the algorithm’s performance an initialization method is applied on HGA. To deal with nonlinear plants and time-varying processes, the T–S fuzzy model is adapted online to maintain the quality of the identification/control. The identification methodology is proposed for two application problems: (1) the design of data-driven soft sensors, and (2) the learning of a model for the Generalized predictive control (GPC) algorithm. The integration of the proposed adaptive identification method with the GPC results in an effective adaptive predictive fuzzy control methodology. To validate and demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed methodologies, they are applied on identification of a model for the estimation of the flour concentration in the effluent of a real-world wastewater treatment system; and on control of a simulated continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and on a real experimental setup composed of two coupled DC motors. The results are presented, showing that the developed evolving T–S fuzzy model can identify the nonlinear systems satisfactorily and it can be used successfully as a prediction model of the process for the GPC controller.     

An intelligent fuzzy sliding mode control system with application on precision table positioning

In this paper, an intelligent fuzzy sliding mode control system, which cooperates with a new learning approach called modulus genetic algorithm, is proposed. Furthermore, it is applied to a high precision table positioning system for verifying its practicability. Fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) is a special type of fuzzy controller with certain attractive advantages than the conventional fuzzy controller. The learning and stability issues of FSMC are discussed in the paper. Furthermore, to overcome the encoding/decoding procedure that leads to considerable numeric errors in conventional genetic algorithm, this paper proposes a new algorithm called modulus genetic algorithm (MGA). The MGA uses the modulus operation such that the encoding/decoding procedure is not necessary. It has the following advantages: (1) the evolution can be speeded up; (2) the numeric truncation error can be avoided; (3) the precision of solution can be increased. For verifying the practicability of the proposed approach, the MGA‐based FSMC is applied to design a position controller for a high precision table. The experimental results show the proposed approach can achieve submicro positioning precision. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Polynomial Fuzzy Observer Designs: A Sum-of-Squares Approach

This paper presents a sum-of-squares (SOS) approach to polynomial fuzzy observer designs for three classes of polynomial fuzzy systems. The proposed SOS-based framework provides a number of innovations and improvements over the existing linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based approaches to Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy controller and observer designs. First, we briefly summarize previous results with respect to a polynomial fuzzy system that is a more general representation of the well-known T-S fuzzy system. Next, we propose polynomial fuzzy observers to estimate states in three classes of polynomial fuzzy systems and derive SOS conditions to design polynomial fuzzy controllers and observers. A remarkable feature of the SOS design conditions for the first two classes (Classes I and II) is that they realize the so-called separation principle, i.e., the polynomial fuzzy controller and observer for each class can be separately designed without lack of guaranteeing the stability of the overall control system in addition to converging state-estimation error (via the observer) to zero. Although, for the last class (Class III), the separation principle does not hold, we propose an algorithm to design polynomial fuzzy controller and observer satisfying the stability of the overall control system in addition to converging state-estimation error (via the observer) to zero. All the design conditions in the proposed approach can be represented in terms of SOS and are symbolically and numerically solved via the recently developed SOSTOOLS and a semidefinite-program solver, respectively. To illustrate the validity and applicability of the proposed approach, three design examples are provided. The examples demonstrate the advantages of the SOS-based approaches for the existing LMI approaches to T-S fuzzy observer designs.     

On-line constructive fuzzy sliding-mode control for voice coil motors

In this paper, a voice coil motor (VCM) featuring fast dynamic performance and high position repeatability is developed. To achieve robust VCM control performance under different operating conditions, an on-line constructive fuzzy sliding-mode control (OCFSC) system, which comprises of a main controller and an exponential compensator, is proposed. In the main controller, a fuzzy observer is used to on-line approximate the unknown nonlinear term in the system dynamics with on-line structure learning and parameter learning using a gradient descent algorithm. According to the structure learning mechanism, the fuzzy observer can either increase or decrease the number of fuzzy rules based on tracking performance. The exponential compensator is applied to ensure the system stability with a nonlinear exponential reaching law. Thus, the chattering signal can be alleviated and the convergence of tracking error can be speed up. Finally, the experimental results show that not only the OCFSC system can achieve good position tracking accuracy but also the structure learning ability enables the fuzzy observer to evolve its structure on-line.

Predictive Functional Control Based on Fuzzy Model: Design and Stability Study

In the paper the design methodology and stability analysis of parallel distributed fuzzy model based predictive control is presented. The idea is to design a control law for each rule of the fuzzy model and blend them together. The proposed control algorithm is developed in state space domain and is given in analytical form. The analytical form brings advantages in comparison with optimization based control schemes especially in the sence of realization in real-time. The stability analysis and design problems can be viewed as a linear matrix inequalities problem. This problem is solved by convex programming involving LMIs. In the paper a sufficient stability condition for parallel distributed fuzzy model-based predictive control is given. The problem is illustrated by an example on magnetic suspension system.     

Direct fuzzy model‐reference adaptive control

Intelligent systems may be viewed as a framework for solving the problems of nonlinear system control. The intelligence of the system in the nonlinear or changing environment is used to recognize in which environment the system currently resides and to service it appropriately. This paper presents a general methodology of adaptive control based on multiple models in fuzzy form to deal with plants with unknown parameters which depend on known plant variables. We introduce a novel model‐reference fuzzy adaptive control system which is based on the fuzzy basis function expansion. The generality of the proposed algorithm is substantiated by the Stone‐Weierstrass theorem which indicates that any continuous function can be approximated by fuzzy basis function expansion. In the sense of adaptive control this implies the adaptive law with fuzzified adaptive parameters which are obtained using Lyapunov stability criterion. The combination of adaptive control theory based on models obtained by fuzzy basis function expansion results in fuzzy direct model‐reference adaptive control which provides higher adaptation ability than basic adaptive‐control systems. The proposed control algorithm is the extension of direct model‐reference fuzzy adaptive‐control to nonlinear plants. The direct fuzzy adaptive controller directly adjusts the parameter of the fuzzy controller to achieve approximate asymptotic tracking of the model‐reference input. The main advantage of the proposed approach is simplicity together with high performance, and it has been shown that the closed‐loop system using the direct fuzzy adaptive controller is globally stable and the tracking error converges to the residual set which depends on fuzzification properties. The proposed approach can be implemented on a wide range of industrial processes. In the paper the foundation of the proposed algorithm are given and some simulation examples are shown and discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A multirule-base controller using the robust property of a fuzzycontroller and its design method

This paper suggests a new fuzzy adaptive controller, which is able to solve the problems of classical adaptive controllers and conventional fuzzy adaptive controllers. It explains the architecture of a fuzzy adaptive controller using the robust property of a fuzzy controller. The basic idea of new adaptive control scheme is that an adaptive controller can be constructed with parallel combination of robust controllers. This new adaptive controller uses a multirule-base architecture which has several independent fuzzy controllers in parallel, each with different robust stability area. Out of several independent fuzzy controllers, the most suited one is selected by a system identifier which observes variations in the controlled system parameter. Here, we propose a design procedure which can be carried out mathematically and systematically from the model of a controlled system; related mathematical theorems and their proofs are also given. The performance of the proposed adaptive control algorithm is analyzed through a design example and a DC motor control simulation
