In addition, the neural network achieves nonlinear approximation of the unknown part by online learning, determines the parameters of the SMC in real time by training the model offline, and reduces the impact of online estimation errors on the system to improve control accuracy. Finally, the effectiveness of the control method is verified by simulation.     

Sliding Mode Control with Adaptive Fuzzy Immune Feedback Reaching Law

In this paper, a novel adaptive fuzzy immune feedback reaching law (AFIFRL) based sliding mode control (SMC) strategy is proposed for uncertain nonlinear systems with time-varying disturbances. First, a nonlinear immune feedback reaching law (IFRL) inspired by biological immune feedback regulation mechanism is designed to alleviate chattering effect without losing the robustness against disturbances. Second, an improved IFRL is developed in a thin boundary layer to enhance tracking performance. Then, the applied fuzzy controller adjusts the boundary layer online to further improve control performance despite large system uncertainties and disturbances. Furthermore, an adaptive law is employed to estimate the unknown bound of uncertainties, which can effectively attenuate chattering and minimize control effort. The stability analysis is derived by Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to evidence the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed AFIFRL based SMC scheme.     

Adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant attitude control of spacecraft

This paper investigates the attitude control of spacecraft in the presence of unknown mass moment of inertia matrix, external disturbances, actuator failures, and control input constraints. A robust adaptive controller is proposed with the utilization of fuzzy logic and backstepping techniques. The unit quaternion is employed to describe the attitude of spacecraft for global representation without singularities. The system uncertainty is estimated by introducing a fuzzy logic system. The adaptive mechanism has only two parameters to be adapted on-line because the adaptive law of the proposed controller is derived from the norm of the weight matrix. The stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by Lyapunov direct approach. Results of numerical simulations state that the proposed controller is successful in achieving high attitude performance in the presence of parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, actuator failures, and control input constraints.

The stability of the closed-loop system is analysed by using Lyapunov function method and zero-tracking error performance is obtained in the presence of unknown nonlinear function, external disturbances and input quantisation. Finally, an application example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Adaptive fuzzy robust control of PMSM with smooth inverse based dead-zone compensation

It is a challenging work to design high precision/high performance motion controller for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) due to some difficulties, such as varying operating conditions, parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. In order to improve tracking control performance of PMSM, this paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy robust control (AFRC) algorithm with smooth inverse based dead-zone compensation. Instead of nonsmooth dead-zone inverse which would cause the possible control signal chattering phenomenon, a new smooth dead-zone inverse is proposed for non-symmetric dead-zone compensation in PMSM system. AFRC controller is synthesized by combining backstepping technique and small gain theorem. Discontinuous projectionbased parameter adaptive law is used to estimate unknown system parameters. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the unstructured dynamics. Robust control law ensures the robustness of closed loop control system. The proposed AFRC algorithm with smooth inverse based dead-zone compensation is verified on a practical PMSM control system. The comparative experimental results indicate that the smooth inverse for non-symmetric dead-zone nonlinearity can effectively avoid the chattering phenomenon which would be caused by nonsmooth dead-zone inverse, and the proposed control strategy can improve the PMSM output tracking performance.

In this paper, a robust adaptive tracking controller is proposed for a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot (WMR) in the presence of unknown wheel slips.

Ultimately, the simulation results are shown in comparison with those of another control method under the same condition to confirm the validity and efficiency of this proposed control method.     

Modeling and Neuro-Fuzzy adaptive attitude control for Eight-Rotor MAV

This paper focuses on modeling and intelligent control of the new Eight-Rotor MAV which is used to solve the problem of low coefficient proportion between lift and gravity for Quadrotor MAV. The dynamical and kinematical modeling for the Eight-Rotor MAV was developed which has never been proposed before. Based on the achieved dynamic modeling, two types of controller were presented. One type, a PID controller is derived in a conventional way with simplified dynamics and turns out to be quite sensitive to sensor noise as well as external perturbation. The second type controller is the Neuro-Fuzzy adaptive controller which is composed of two type-II fuzzy neural networks (TIIFNNs) and one PD controller: The PD controller is adopted to control the attitude, one of the TIIFNNs is designed to learn the inverse model of Eight-Rotor MAV on-line, the other one is the copy of the former one to compensate for model errors and external disturbances, both structure and parameters of T-IIFNNs are tuned on-line at the same time, and then the stability of the Eight-Rotor MAV closed-loop control system is proved using Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the validity of the proposed control method has been verified through real-time experiments. The experimental results show that the performance of Neuro-Fuzzy adaptive controller performs very well under sensor noise and external disturbances, and has more superiority than traditional PID controller.     

Neural network based adaptive fuzzy PID-type sliding mode attitude control for a reentry vehicle

This work investigates the attitude control of reentry vehicle under modeling inaccuracies and external disturbances. A robust adaptive fuzzy PID-type sliding mode control (AFPID-SMC) is designed with the utilization of radial basis function (RBF) neural network. In order to improve the transient performance and ensure small steady state tracking error, the gain parameters of PID-type sliding mode manifold are adjusted online by using adaptive fuzzy logic system (FLS). Additionally, the designed new adaptive law can ensure that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. Meanwhile, the problem of the actuator saturation, caused by integral term of sliding mode manifold, is avoided even under large initial tracking error. Furthermore, to eliminate the need of a priori knowledge of the disturbance upper bound, RBF neural network observer is used to estimate the disturbance information. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved via Lyapunov direct approach. Finally, the numerical simulations verify that the proposed controller is better than conventional PID-type SMC in terms of improving the transient performance and robustness.

A backstepping controller (BC) and an adaptive fuzzy backstepping controller (AFBC) are proposed for three-phase active power filter (APF) in this paper. Firstly, the dynamic model for APF is build in which both the system parameter variations and external disturbance are considered. Then, the backstepping method is applied in the design of current control system to deal with the nonlinearity of APF. Moreover, the AFBC is developed by combining the backstepping approach with adaptive fuzzy strategy to attenuate the effect of parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Fuzzy logic system is designed to estimate the unknown nonlinear function in the AFBC where the parameters are adjusted online by the adaptive law derived from the Lyapunov stability analysis to guarantee the tracking performance and stability of the closed-loop system. Simulation studies using the MATLAB/SimPower Systems Toolbox demonstrate that the proposed control strategies exhibit excellent performance in both steady state and transient operation.

The robustness of the proposed ATFSC was verified using simulations and experiments, which involved varying parameters and external load disturbances. The experimental results indicate that the ATFSC scheme outperformed the other control schemes.

PD with sliding mode control for trajectory tracking of robotic system

Good tracking performance is very important for trajectory tracking control of robotic systems. In this paper, a new model-free control law, called PD with sliding mode control law or PD–SMC in short, is proposed for trajectory tracking control of multi-degree-of-freedom linear translational robotic systems. The new control law takes the advantages of the simplicity and easy design of PD control and the robustness of SMC to model uncertainty and parameter fluctuation, and avoid the requirements for known knowledge of the system dynamics associated with SMC. The proposed control has the features of linear control provided by PD control and nonlinear control contributed by SMC. In the proposed PD–SMC, PD control is used to stabilize the controlled system, while SMC is used to compensate the disturbance and uncertainty and reduce tracking errors dramatically. The stability analysis is conducted for the proposed PD–SMC law, and some guidelines for the selection of control parameters for PD–SMC are provided. Simulation results prove the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed PD–SMC. It is also shown that PD–SMC can achieve very good tracking performances compared to PD control under the uncertainties and varying load conditions.
