Adaptive neural output feedback tracking control for a class of nonlinear systems

In this paper, an adaptive neural output feedback control scheme based on backstepping technique and dynamic surface control (DSC) approach is developed to solve the tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear systems with unmeasurable states. Firstly, a nonlinear state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Secondly, in the controller design process, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are utilised to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and then a novel adaptive neural output feedback tracking control scheme is developed via backstepping technique and DSC approach. It is shown that the proposed controller ensures that all signals of the closed-loop system remain bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighbourhood around the origin. Finally, two numerical examples and one realistic example are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.     

Global adaptive output regulation of a class of nonlinear systems with nonlinear exosystems

This paper deals with global output regulation with nonlinear exosystems for a class of uncertain nonlinear output feedback systems. The circle criterion is exploited for the internal model design to accommodate the nonlinearities in the exosystems, and the explicit conditions are given for the exosystems such that the proposed internal model design can be applied. The uncertainties of the output feedback systems are in the form of unknown constant parameters, and adaptive control techniques are used to ensure the global stability of the proposed control design for output regulation.

Adaptive stabilization of a class of nonlinear systems with unstable internal dynamics

This note considers global stabilization of a class of uncertain nonlinear output feedback systems with unstable internal dynamics. The coefficients which characterize the internal dynamics are allowed to be functions of system output, and the uncertainty of the system is characterized by an unknown constant parameter vector. The key step in the proposed control design is to estimate the internal state variables and impose control over them. The control design is presented first for systems without unknown parameters, and then for the systems with unknown parameters using adaptive control techniques.     

Adaptive fuzzy backstepping output feedback control of nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown high-frequency gain sign

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy robust feedback control approach is proposed for a class of single-input and single-output (SISO) strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear functions, time delays, unknown high-frequency gain sign, and without the measurements of the states. In the backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the unknown smooth nonlinear functions, K-filters is designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to solve the problem of unknown sign of high-frequency gain. By combining adaptive fuzzy control theory and adaptive backstepping design, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It has been proven that the proposed adaptive fuzzy robust control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriately choosing design parameters. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Fuzzy adaptive high-gain-based observer backstepping control for SISO nonlinear systems

In this paper, a new fuzzy adaptive control approach is developed for a class of SISO strict-feedback nonlinear systems, in which the nonlinear functions are unknown and the states are not available for feedback. By fuzzy logic systems to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, a fuzzy adaptive high-gain observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured states. Under the framework of the backstepping design, fuzzy adaptive output feedback control is constructed recursively. It is shown that the proposed fuzzy adaptive control approach guarantees the semi-global boundedness property for all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system. Simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.     

Fuzzy adaptive output feedback control for a class of switched non-triangular structure nonlinear systems with time-varying delays

This paper investigates an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control design problem for switched nonlinear system in non-triangular structure form. The discussed system contains unknown nonlinear dynamics, unmeasured states and unknown time-varying delays under a batch of switching signals. Fuzzy logic systems are utilised to learn unknown nonlinear dynamics and construct a fuzzy switched nonlinear observer. By combining the property of fuzzy basis function with Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and the command filter, a novel observer-based fuzzy adaptive backstepping schematic design algorithm is presented. Furthermore, the stability of the closed-loop control system is proved via Lyapunov stability theory and average dwell time method. The simulation results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control approach is developed for a class of SISO nonlinear uncertain systems with unmeasured states and unknown virtual control coefficients. The fuzzy logic systems are used to model the uncertain nonlinear systems. The MT-filters and the state observer are designed to estimate the unmeasured states. Using backstepping design principle and combining the Nussbaum gain functions, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed.

Adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear systems with actuator faults

This article develops an adaptive fuzzy control method for accommodating actuator faults in a class of unknown nonlinear systems with unmeasured states. The considered faults are modelled as both loss of effectiveness and lock-in-place (stuck at unknown place). With the help of fuzzy logic systems to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, a fuzzy adaptive observer is developed for estimating the unmeasured states. Combining the backstepping technique with the nonlinear tolerant-fault control theory, a novel adaptive fuzzy faults-tolerant control approach is constructed. It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking error between the system output and the reference signal converges to a small neighbourhood of zero by appropriate choice of the design parameters. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the control approach.     

Distributed adaptive output feedback tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems

This paper addresses the distributed output feedback tracking control problem for multi-agent systems with higher order nonlinear non-strict-feedback dynamics and directed communication graphs. The existing works usually design a distributed consensus controller using all the states of each agent, which are often immeasurable, especially in nonlinear systems. In this paper, based only on the relative output between itself and its neighbours, a distributed adaptive consensus control law is proposed for each agent using the backstepping technique and approximation technique of Fourier series (FS) to solve the output feedback tracking control problem of multi-agent systems. The FS structure is taken not only for tracking the unknown nonlinear dynamics but also the unknown derivatives of virtual controllers in the controller design procedure, which can therefore prevent virtual controllers from containing uncertain terms. The projection algorithm is applied to ensure that the estimated parameters remain in some known bounded sets. Lyapunov stability analysis shows that the proposed control law can guarantee that the output of each agent synchronises to the leader with bounded residual errors and that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results have verified the performance and feasibility of the proposed distributed adaptive control strategy.     

Adaptive output feedback control for nonholonomic systems with uncertain chained form

The output feedback adaptive control problem is investigated for nonholonomic systems with strongly nonlinear uncertainties and unknown virtual control directions. A nonlinear output feedback switching controller based on the output measurement of the first subsystem is employed in order to make the state scaling effective and ensure the convergence of the system states. The novel observer/estimator is introduced for state and unknown parameter estimates. The integrator backstepping technique by the use of a constructive recursive is applied to the design of the adaptive controller and to overcome the unknown virtual control directions. The simulation result validates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Adaptive rejection of non-linear disturbances in extended non-linear output feedback systems

This paper deals with asymptotic rejection of disturbances generated from non-linear exosystems for uncertain nonlinear systems in an extended output feedback form, which allows the vector field coupled with the system input to have different nonlinear functions of the system output as its elements. A new internal model design is proposed to deal with nonlinear functions of the system output that are coupled with the input and the unknown disturbance. Adaptive control techniques are then used to deal with the uncertainty in the system. The proposed adaptive disturbance rejection algorithm with the new internal model design ensures the asymptotic rejection of the unknown nonlinear disturbance and the boundedness of all the variables.

It is proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking error between the system output and the reference signal converges to a small neighborhood of zero by appropriate choice of the design parameters. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the control approach.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy robust output feedback control approach is proposed for a class of SISO nonlinear strict-feedback systems with unknown sign of high-frequency gain and the unmeasured states. The nonlinear systems addressed in this paper are assumed to possess the unmodeled dynamics, dynamical disturbances and unknown nonlinear functions, where the unknown nonlinear functions are not linearly parameterized, and no prior knowledge of their bounds is available. In the recursive designing, fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, K-filters are designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and a dynamical signal and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to handle the unmodeled dynamics and the unknown sign of the high-frequency gain, respectively. Based on Lyapunov function method, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It is mathematically proved that the proposed adaptive fuzzy control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded, the output converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by the simulation examples.
