Design of an adaptive self-organizing fuzzy neural network controller for uncertain nonlinear chaotic systems

Though the control performances of the fuzzy neural network controller are acceptable in many previous published papers, the applications are only parameter learning in which the parameters of fuzzy rules are adjusted but the number of fuzzy rules should be determined by some trials. In this paper, a Takagi–Sugeno-Kang (TSK)-type self-organizing fuzzy neural network (TSK-SOFNN) is studied. The learning algorithm of the proposed TSK-SOFNN not only automatically generates and prunes the fuzzy rules of TSK-SOFNN but also adjusts the parameters of existing fuzzy rules in TSK-SOFNN. Then, an adaptive self-organizing fuzzy neural network controller (ASOFNNC) system composed of a neural controller and a smooth compensator is proposed. The neural controller using the TSK-SOFNN is designed to approximate an ideal controller, and the smooth compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error between the ideal controller and the neural controller. Moreover, a proportional-integral (PI) type parameter tuning mechanism is derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory, thus not only the system stability can be achieved but also the convergence of tracking error can be speeded up. Finally, the proposed ASOFNNC system is applied to a chaotic system. The simulation results verify the system stabilization, favorable tracking performance, and no chattering phenomena can be achieved using the proposed ASOFNNC system.

In the conventional CMAC-based adaptive controller design, a switching compensator is designed to guarantee system stability in the Lyapunov stability sense but the undesirable chattering phenomenon occurs. This paper proposes a CMAC-based smooth adaptive neural control (CSANC) system that is composed of a neural controller and a saturation compensator. The neural controller uses a CMAC neural network to online mimic an ideal controller and the saturation compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error between the ideal controller and neural controller without any chattering phenomena. The parameter adaptive algorithms of the CSANC system are derived in the sense of Lyapunov stability, so the system stability can be guaranteed. Finally, the proposed CSANC system is applied to a Chua’s chaotic circuit and a DC motor driver. Simulation and experimental results show the CSANC system can achieve a favorable tracking performance. It should be emphasized that the development of the proposed CSANC system doesn’t need the knowledge of the system dynamics.

Moreover, a proportional–integral learning algorithm is derived to speed up the convergence of the tracking error. Finally, the proposed APIHNC system is applied to an inverted double pendulums and a two-link robotic manipulator. Simulation results verify that the proposed APIHNC system can achieve high-precision tracking performance. It should be emphasized that the proposed APIHNC system is clearly and easily used for real-time applications.

This study proposes an indirect adaptive self-organizing RBF neural control (IASRNC) system which is composed of a feedback controller, a neural identifier and a smooth compensator. The neural identifier which contains a self-organizing RBF (SORBF) network with structure and parameter learning is designed to online estimate a system dynamics using the gradient descent method. The SORBF network can add new hidden neurons and prune insignificant hidden neurons online.

This paper develops a recurrent wavelet neural backstepping control (RWNBC) scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mechanical systems. This proposed RWNBC comprises a neural controller and a smooth compensator. The neural controller using an RWNN is the principal tracking controller utilized to mimic an ideal backstepping control law; and the parameters of RWNN are online tuned by the derived adaptation laws from the Lyapunov stability theorem. The smooth compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error introduced by the neural controller, so that the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system can be guaranteed. Finally, two MIMO mechanical systems, a mass-spring-damper system and a two-inverted pendulum system, are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed RWNBC scheme. From the simulation results, it is verified that the proposed RWNBC scheme can achieve favorable tracking performance without any chattering phenomenon.     

Chaos synchronization of nonlinear gyros using self-learning PID control approach

Since chaotic systems are important nonlinear deterministic systems that display complex, noisy-like and unpredictable behavior, synchronizing chaotic systems has become an important issue in the engineering community. Due to the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller has a simple architecture and easily designed, it was widely used in the industrial applications. However, the traditional PID controller usually needs some manual retuning before being used to practically application. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a self-learning PID control (SLPIDC) system which is composed of a PID controller and a fuzzy compensator. The PID controller which is used to online approximate an ideal controller is the main controller. The controller gain factors of the PID controller can automatically tune based on the gradient descent method. The fuzzy compensator is designed to dispel the approximation error between the ideal controller and PID controller upon the system stability in the Lyapunov sense. From the simulation results, it is verified that the chaotic behavior of two nonlinear identical chaotic gyros can be synchronized by the proposed SLPIDC scheme without the chattering phenomena in the control effort after the controller parameters learning.

This paper proposes a recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC)-based adaptive control for brushless DC motors. This control system is composed of a RCMAC and a compensation controller. RCMAC is used to mimic an ideal controller, and the compensation controller is designed to compensate for the approximation error between the ideal controller and RCMAC. The Lyapunov stability theory is utilized to derive the parameter tuning algorithm, so that the uniformly ultimately bound stability of the closed-loop system can be achieved. For comparison, a fuzzy control, an adaptive fuzzy control and the developed RCMAC-based adaptive control are implemented on a field programmable gate array chip for controlling a brushless DC motor. Experimental results reveal that the proposed RCMAC-based adaptive control system can achieve the best tracking performance. Moreover, since the developed RCMAC-based adaptive control scheme uses a hyperbolic tangent function to compensate for the approximation error, there is no chattering phenomenon in the control effort. Thus, the proposed control method is more suitable for real-time practical control applications.

Controller Design Using Walsh‐Basis‐Function Neural Networks

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the function approximation problem by using Walsh functions to establish a Walsh‐basis‐function neural network (WBFNN). The proposed novel system avoids the possible heavy computation problem of a controller usually encountered in adaptive neural controller design. With the developed adaptation scheme combined with the sliding mode control strategy for a class of nonlinear systems, the proposed WBFNN‐based controller can guarantee global stability of the closed‐loop system in the Lyapunov sense. The output tracking error then converges to zero asymptotically, and boundedness of all the signals in the whole system is ensured. Simulation validation for a nonlinear unstable system was performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller design.     

Adaptive neural complementary sliding-mode control via functional-linked wavelet neural network

Chaos control can be applied in the vast areas of physics and engineering systems, but the parameters of chaotic system are inevitably perturbed by external inartificial factors and cannot be exactly known. This paper proposes an adaptive neural complementary sliding-mode control (ANCSC) system, which is composed of a neural controller and a robust compensator, for a chaotic system. The neural controller uses a functional-linked wavelet neural network (FWNN) to approximate an ideal complementary sliding-mode controller. Since the output weights of FWNN are equipped with a functional-linked type form, the FWNN offers good learning accuracy. The robust compensator is designed to eliminate the effect of the approximation error introduced by the neural controller upon the system stability in the Lyapunov sense. Without requiring preliminary offline learning, the parameter learning algorithm can online tune the controller parameters of the proposed ANCSC system to ensure system stable. Finally, it shows by the simulation results that favorable control performance can be achieved for a chaotic system by the proposed ANCSC scheme.     

Supervisory adaptive dynamic RBF-based neural-fuzzy control system design for unknown nonlinear systems

Many published papers show that a TSK-type fuzzy system provides more powerful representation than a Mamdani-type fuzzy system. Radial basis function (RBF) network has a similar feature to the fuzzy system. As this result, this article proposes a dynamic TSK-type RBF-based neural-fuzzy (DTRN) system, in which the learning algorithm not only online generates and prunes the fuzzy rules but also online adjusts the parameters. Then, a supervisory adaptive dynamic RBF-based neural-fuzzy control (SADRNC) system which is composed of a DTRN controller and a supervisory compensator is proposed. The DTRN controller is designed to online estimate an ideal controller based on the gradient descent method, and the supervisory compensator is designed to eliminate the effect of the approximation error introduced by the DTRN controller upon the system stability in the Lyapunov sense. Finally, the proposed SADRNC system is applied to control a chaotic system and an inverted pendulum to illustrate its effectiveness. The stability of the proposed SADRNC scheme is proved analytically and its effectiveness has been shown through some simulations.     

Adaptive neural integral sliding‐mode control for tracking control of fully actuated uncertain surface vessels

This paper develops a novel adaptive neural integral sliding‐mode control to enhance the tracking performance of fully actuated uncertain surface vessels. The proposed method is built based on an integrating between the benefits of the approximation capability of neural network (NN) and the high robustness and precision of the integral sliding‐mode control (ISMC). In this paper, the design of NN, which is used to approximate the unknown dynamics, is simplified such that just only one simple adaptive rule is needed. The ISMC, which can eliminate the reaching phase and offer higher tracking performance compared to the conventional sliding‐mode control, is designed such that the system robust against the approximation error and stabilize the whole system. The design procedure of the proposed controller is constructed according to the backstepping control technique so that the stability of the closed‐loop system is guaranteed based on Lyapunov criteria. The proposed method is then tested on a simulated vessel system using computer simulation and compared with other state‐of‐the‐art methods. The comparison results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive Composite Fuzzy Dynamic Surface Control for Electro‐Hydraulic‐System,with Variable‐Supply‐Pressure

This paper presents a novel adaptive composite fuzzy dynamic surface controller for a variable‐supply‐pressure electro‐hydraulic‐system in the presence of unknown nonlinear friction effects. To avoid analytic calculation, command filters are utilized to produce certain virtual controllers and their derivatives. A fuzzy logic system is designed to approximate and compensate the unknown nonlinear friction influences of the electro‐hydraulic‐system. To achieve a precise approximation, the prediction error of a designed serial‐parallel estimation model and the compensated tracking error are both used to develop the composite adaptive law. Comparative simulation and experimental results are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Adaptive RBF neural network control of robot with actuator nonlinearities

In this paper, an adaptive neural network control scheme for robot manipulators with actuator nonlinearities is presented. The control scheme consists of an adaptive neural network controller and an actuator nonlinearities compensator. Since the actuator nonlinearities are usually included in the robot driving motor, a compensator using radial basis function (RBF) network is proposed to estimate the actuator nonlinearities and eliminate their effects. Subsequently, an adaptive neural network controller that neither requires the evaluation of inverse dynamical model nor the time-consuming training process is given. In addition, GL matrix and its product operator are introduced to help prove the stability of the closed control system. Considering the adaptive neural network controller and the RBF network compensator as the whole control scheme, the closed-loop system is proved to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). The whole scheme provides a general procedure to control the robot manipulators with actuator nonlinearities. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the designed scheme and the theoretical discussion.     

A new model-free adaptive sliding controller for active suspension system

Active suspension systems are designed to provide better ride comfort and handling capability in the automotive industry. Since the active suspension system has nonlinear and time-varying characteristics, it is difficult to establish an accurate dynamic model for designing a model-based controller. Here, a functional approximation (FA) based adaptive sliding controller with fuzzy compensation is proposed for an active suspension system. The FA technique is employed to represent the unknown functions, which releases the model-based requirement of the sliding mode control. In addition, a fuzzy control scheme with online learning ability is employed to compensate for the modeling error of the FA with finite number of terms for reducing the implementation difficulty. To guarantee the control system stability, the update laws of the coefficients in the approximation function and the fuzzy tuning parameters are derived from the Lyapunov theorem. The proposed controller is employed on a quarter-car active suspension system. The simulation results and experimental results show that the proposed controller can suppress the oscillation amplitude of the sprung mass effectively. To evaluate the performance improvement of inducing a fuzzy compensator in this FA adaptive controller, the dynamic responses of the proposed hybrid controller are compared with those of FA-based adaptive sliding controller only.     

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.     

Observer‐based Adaptive fuzzy control of time‐delay uncertain nonlinear systems

An observer‐based adaptive fuzzy model following controller is proposed for a class of MIMO nonlinear uncertain systems to cope with time‐delay, uncertainty in plant structure and disturbances. Based on universal approximation theorem the unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by fuzzy systems, where the premise and the consequent parts of the fuzzy rules are tuned with adaptive schemes. To have more robustness, and at the same time to alleviate chattering, an adaptive discontinuous structure is suggested. Moreover, the availability of the states measurement is not required and an adaptive observer is used to estimate the states. Asymptoic stability of the overall system is ensured using suitable a Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional candidate. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
