Adaptive ILC algorithms of nonlinear continuous systems with non-parametric uncertainties for non-repetitive trajectory tracking

In this article, two adaptive iterative learning control (ILC) algorithms are presented for nonlinear continuous systems with non-parametric uncertainties. Unlike general ILC techniques, the proposed adaptive ILC algorithms allow that both the initial error at each iteration and the reference trajectory are iteration-varying in the ILC process, and can achieve non-repetitive trajectory tracking beyond a small initial time interval. Compared to the neural network or fuzzy system-based adaptive ILC schemes and the classical ILC methods, in which the number of iterative variables is generally larger than or equal to the number of control inputs, the first adaptive ILC algorithm proposed in this paper uses just two iterative variables, while the second even uses a single iterative variable provided that some bound information on system dynamics is known. As a result, the memory space in real-time ILC implementations is greatly reduced.     

Adaptive ILC for a class of discrete-time systems with iteration-varying trajectory and random initial condition

In this work we present a discrete-time adaptive iterative learning control (AILC) scheme to deal with systems with time-varying parametric uncertainties. Using the analogy between the discrete-time axis and the iterative learning axis, the new adaptive ILC can incorporate a Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm, hence the learning gain can be tuned iteratively along the learning axis and pointwisely along the time axis. When the initial states are random and the reference trajectory is iteration-varying, the new AILC can achieve the pointwise convergence over a finite time interval asymptotically along the iterative learning axis.     

Varying trail lengths-based iterative learning control for linear discrete-time systems with vector relative degree

In this article, to tackle with the iteration-varying trail lengths and random initial state shifts, an average operator-based PD-type iterative learning control (ILC) law is firstly presented for linear discrete-time multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with vector relative degree. The proposed PD-type ILC law includes an initial rectifying action against initial state shifts, and pursues the reference trajectory tracking beyond the initial time points. As special cases of the PD-type ILC law, P-type and D-type ILC laws are then introduced. It is proved that for linear discrete-time MIMO systems with vector relative degree, the three proposed ILC laws can drive the varying trail lengths-based ILC tracking errors to zero in mathematical expectation beyond the initial time points. A numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed ILC laws.

Adaptive fuzzy ILC of nonlinear discrete-time systems with unknown dead zones and control directions

This paper presents an adaptive fuzzy iterative learning control (ILC) design for non-parametrized nonlinear discrete-time systems with unknown input dead zones and control directions. In the proposed adaptive fuzzy ILC algorithm, a fuzzy logic system (FLS) is used to approximate the desired control signal, and an additional adaptive mechanism is designed to compensate for the unknown input dead zone. In dealing with the unknown control direction of the nonlinear discrete-time system, a discrete Nussbaum gain technique is exploited along the iteration axis and applied to the adaptive fuzzy ILC algorithm. As a result, it is proved that the proposed adaptive fuzzy ILC scheme can drive the ILC tracking errors beyond the initial time instants into a tunable residual set as iteration number goes to infinity, and keep all the system signals bounded in the adaptive ILC process. Finally, a simulation example is used to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the adaptive fuzzy ILC scheme.

Adaptive ILC of Tracking Nonrepetitive Trajectory for Two-dimensional Nonlinear Discrete Time-varying Fornasini-Marchesini Systems with Iteration-varying Boundary States

Most of adaptive iterative learning control (AILC) algorithms focus on one-dimensional (1-D) systems, rather than two-dimensional (2-D) systems. This brief is first concerned with AILC for 2-D nonlinear discrete time-varying Fornasini-Marchesini system (NDTVFMS) with nonrepetitive reference trajectory under iteration-varying boundary states. By using Lyapunov analysis method, it can guarantee that the ultimate tracking error tends to zero asymptotically, and make all identified parameters and system signals to be bounded as iteration number goes to infinity. Two illustrative examples are used to validate the effectiveness of the designed AILC approach.

     

Discrete-time adaptive iterative learning control with unknown control directions

An adaptive iterative learning control scheme is proposed for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with random initial conditions and iteration-varying desired trajectories. The discrete Nussbaum gain method is incorporated into the control design to tackle the problem associated with the lack of a priori knowledge of the control directions. The proposed control algorithm guarantees the boundedness of all the signals in the controlled system. The tracking error converges to zero asymptotically along the iterative learning axis. The effectiveness of the proposed control law is verified through numerical simulation.     

Model reference output feedback fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delay

In this study, a model reference fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delay is introduced. First, the Takagi and Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is employed to approximate a nonlinear discrete-time system with time-delay. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a fuzzy observer-based fuzzy controller is developed to reduce the tracking error as small as possible for all bounded reference inputs. The advantage of proposed tracking control design is that only a simple fuzzy observer-based controller is used in our approach without feedback linearization technique and complicated adaptive scheme. By the proposed method, the fuzzy tracking control design problem is parameterized in terms of a linear matrix inequality problem (LMIP). The LMIP can be efficiently solved using the convex optimization techniques. Simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and tracking performance of the proposed method.

Adaptive ILC for tracking non-repetitive reference trajectory of 2-D FMM under random boundary condition

Almost all of the existing research achievements in Iterative Learning Control (ILC) hitherto have been focused on One-Dimensional (1-D) dynamical systems. Few ILC researches are related to Two-Dimensional Fornasini Marchesina Model (2-D FMM). In this paper, an adaptive ILC approach is proposed for 2-D FMM system with non-repetitive reference trajectory under random boundary condition. The proposed adaptive ILC algorithm learns the coefficient matrices of the system and updates the control input iteratively. As the times of iteration goes to infinity, the ILC tracking error outside the boundary tends to zero and all system signals keep bounded in the whole ILC process. Illustrative examples are provided to verify the validity of the proposed adaptive ILC algorithm.

Adaptive control of MIMO time-varying systems with indicator function based parametrization

This paper studies a new solution framework for adaptive control of a class of MIMO time-varying systems with indicator function based parametrization, motivated by a general discrete-time MIMO Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy system model in an input–output form with unknown parameters. An indicator (membership) function based parametrization has some favorable capacity to deal with certain large parameter variations. A new discrete-time MIMO system prediction model is derived for approximating a nonlinear dynamic system, and its system properties are clarified. An adaptive control scheme is developed, with desired controller parametrization and stable parameter estimation for control of such uncertain MIMO time-varying systems. A control singularity problem is addressed and the closed-loop stability and output tracking properties are analyzed. This work provides a new method for multivariable T–S fuzzy system modeling and adaptive control. An illustrative example and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the proposed novel concepts and to verify the desired adaptive control system performance.

On iterative learning control design for tracking iteration-varying trajectories with high-order internal model

In this paper, iterative learning control (ILC) design is studied for an iteration-varying tracking problem in which reference trajectories are generated by high-order internal models (HOIM). An HOIM formulated as a polynomial operator between consecutive iterations describes the changes of desired trajectories in the iteration domain and makes the iterative learning problem become iteration varying. The classical ILC for tracking iteration-invariant reference trajectories, on the other hand, is a special case of HOIM where the polynomial renders to a unity coefficient or a special first-order internal model. By inserting the HOIM into P-type ILC, the tracking performance along the iteration axis is investigated for a class of continuous-time nonlinear systems. Time-weighted norm method is utilized to guarantee validity of proposed algorithm in a sense of data-driven control.

A non-standard iterative learning control approach to tracking periodic signals in discrete-time non-linear systems

In this paper we use the formalism of iterative learning control (ILC) to solve the repetitive control problem of forcing a system to track a prescribed periodic reference signal. Although the systems we consider operate continuously in time, rather than with trials that have distinct starting and ending times, we use the ILC approach by defining a 'trial' in terms of completion of a single 'period' of the output trajectory, where a period is an interval from the start of the trial until the system returns to its initial state. The ILC scheme we develop does not use the standard assumption of uniform trial length. In the final result the periodic motion is achieved by 'repetition' of the learned ILC input signal for a single period. Analysis of the convergence of the algorithm uses an intermediate convergence result for the typical ILC problem. This intermediate result is based on a multi-loop control interpretation of the signal flow in ILC. The idea is demonstrated on an example and it is noted that it may be possible to generalize the ideas to broader classes of systems and ILC algorithms.
