A robust adaptive dynamic surface control for linear systems

In this article, a robust output-feedback adaptive dynamic surface control (DSC) is proposed for linear time-invariant single-input single-output plants with unmodelled dynamics and unmeasurable output disturbance. With the proposed adaptive DSC scheme, the ‘explosion of terms’ problem inherent in backstepping control is eliminated and the adaptive law is necessary only at the first design step, which significantly reduces the design procedure. More importantly, it is proved that with an initialisation technique, the ?_∞ performance of the tracking error can be guaranteed even with unmodelled dynamics, bounded output disturbance exists and the plant high-frequency gain is unknown.     

Distributed adaptive containment control of networked flexible-joint robots using neural networks

This study presents a distributed adaptive containment control approach for a group of uncertain flexible-joint (FJ) robots with multiple dynamic leaders under a directed communication graph. The leaders are neighbors of only a subset of the followers. The derivatives of the leaders are unknown, namely, the position information of the leaders is only available for implementing the proposed control approach. The local adaptive dynamic surface containment controller for each follower is designed using only neighbors’ information to guarantee that all followers converge to the dynamic convex hull spanned by the dynamic leaders. The function approximation technique using neural networks is employed to estimate the model uncertainties of each follower. It is proved that the containment control errors converge to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin regardless of model uncertainties and the lack of shared communication information. Simulation results for FJ manipulators are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive containment control scheme.

Nonsingular predefined-time dynamic surface control of a flexible-joint space robot with actuator constraints

To achieve predefined-time trajectory tracking control of a flexible-joint space robot(FJSR) with actuator constraints, a nonsingular predefined-time dynamic surface control scheme is developed. The input saturation caused by actuator constraints is addressed via the designed predefined-time anti-saturation compensator. On this basis, two different control laws are designed for such high-order nonlinear systems by utilizing the backstepping technique, and a novel nonlinear filter is constructed to filter the virtual control signals, thus avoiding the “differential expansion” phenomenon. Moreover, a singularity-free auxiliary function is designed to solve the singularity issue generated by the derivative of fractional power terms in the predefined-time control algorithm framework. The closed-loop system is proven to be semi-globally predefined-timely uniformly ultimately bounded (SGPTUUB) via constructing the suitable Lyapunov function. The difference and effectiveness of the two designed control laws are illustrated by the conducted simulations. Both of them allow the FJSR system to track the desired trajectory in a reasonably predefined time.

Adaptive dynamic surface control for uncertain nonaffine nonlinear systems

This paper focuses on the problem of adaptive control for uncertain nonaffine nonlinear systems. The original nonaffine systems are transformed into the augmented affine systems via adding an auxiliary integrator, which makes the explicit control design possible. By introducing a modified sliding mode filter in each step, a novel adaptive dynamic surface controller is proposed, where the ‘explosion of complexity’ problem inherent in the backstepping design is avoided. It is proven rigorously that for any initial control condition, the proposed adaptive scheme is able to ensure the semiglobal uniformly ultimately boundedness of all signals in the closed loop. An illustrative example is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive dynamic surface control for pure‐feedback systems

This paper proposes a novel dynamic surface control algorithm for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in completely non‐affine pure‐feedback form. Instead of using the mean value theorem, we construct an affine variable at each design step, and then neural network is employed to deduce a virtual control signal or an actual control signal. As a result, the unknown control directions and singularity problem raised by the mean value theorem is circumvented. The proposed scheme is able to overcome the explosion of complexity inherent in backstepping control and guarantee the tracking performance by introducing an initialization technique based on a surface error modification. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust dynamic surface control of flexible joint robots using recurrent neural networks

A robust neuro-adaptive controller for uncertain flexible joint robots is presented. This control scheme integrates H-infinity disturbance attenuation design and recurrent neural network adaptive control technique into the dynamic surface control framework. Two recurrent neural networks are used to adaptively learn the uncertain functions in a flexible joint robot. Then, the effects of approximation error and filter error on the tracking performance are attenuated to a prescribed level by the embedded H-infinity controller, so that the desired H-infinity tracking performance can be achieved. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Prescribed performance global stable adaptive neural dynamic surface consensus tracking control of stochastic multi-agent systems with hysteresis inputs and nonlinear dynamics

This paper focuses on the leader-following consensus control problem of stochastic multi-agent systems with hysteresis inputs and nonlinear dynamics. A leader-following consensus scheme is presented for stochastic multi-agent systems directions under directed graphs, which can achieve predefined synchronisation error bounds. By mainly activating an auxiliary robust control component for pulling back the transient escaped from the neural active region, a multi-switching robust neuro adaptive controller in the neural approximation domain, which can achieve globally uniformly ultimately bounded tracking stability of multi-agent systems recently. A specific Nussbaum-type function is introduced to solve the problem of unknown control directions. Using a dynamic surface control technique, distributed consensus controllers are developed to guarantee that the outputs of all followers synchronise with that of the leader with prescribed performance. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that all signals in closed-loop systems are uniformly ultimately bounded and all the follower agents can keep consensus with the leader. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed control scheme.     

Modelling and adaptive tracking control for flexible joint robots with random noises

This paper investigates modelling and adaptive tracking control problems for flexible joint robots subjected to random disturbances. A stochastic flexible joint robot model is given by introducing random noises reasonably. Under some weaker assumptions, a new controller is constructed by exploiting adaptive dynamic surface control technique. It is proved that the mean square of the tracking error can be made arbitrarily small by choosing appropriate design parameters. A mechanics model is provided in the simulation to show the effectiveness of the presented theory.

Observer-based adaptive neural dynamic surface control for a class of non-strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems

The problem of adaptive output feedback stabilisation is addressed for a more general class of non-strict-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems in this paper. The neural network (NN) approximation and the variable separation technique are utilised to deal with the unknown subsystem functions with the whole states. Based on the design of a simple input-driven observer, an adaptive NN output feedback controller which contains only one parameter to be updated is developed for such systems by using the dynamic surface control method. The proposed control scheme ensures that all signals in the closed-loop systems are bounded in probability and the error signals remain semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded in fourth moment (or mean square). Two simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control design.

Decentralized and adaptive control of multiple nonholonomic robots for sensing coverage

This work deals with decentralized control of multiple nonholonomic mobile sensors for optimal coverage of a given area for sensing purposes. We assume a density function over the region to be covered, which can be viewed as a probability density of the phenomena to be sensed. The density function is unknown but assumed to be linearly parameterized with unknown parameter weights. We consider a second‐order dynamic model for the mobile agents and derive decentralized adaptive control laws to achieve optimal coverage of the region. We then consider the case where the dynamic model of the agents are not fully known, and then develop parameter adaptation laws to achieve the optimal coverage objective. We test the derived algorithms using simulations and compare our proposed controllers with kinematics‐based controllers. We find that the feedback control design based on the dynamic model performs significantly better than controllers solely relying on kinematic models. Furthermore, for the unknown dynamics case, our controller outperforms the nonadaptive controller with poor initial parameter estimates.
