Robust Dynamic Sliding-Mode Control Using Adaptive RENN for Magnetic Levitation System

In this paper, a robust dynamic sliding mode control system (RDSMC) using a recurrent Elman neural network (RENN) is proposed to control the position of a levitated object of a magnetic levitation system considering the uncertainties. First, a dynamic model of the magnetic levitation system is derived. Then, a proportional–integral–derivative (PID)-type sliding-mode control system (SMC) is adopted for tracking of the reference trajectories. Moreover, a new PID-type dynamic sliding-mode control system (DSMC) is proposed to reduce the chattering phenomenon. However, due to the hardware being limited and the uncertainty bound being unknown of the switching function for the DSMC, an RDSMC is proposed to improve the control performance and further increase the robustness of the magnetic levitation system. In the RDSMC, an RENN estimator is used to estimate an unknown nonlinear function of lumped uncertainty online and replace the switching function in the hitting control of the DSMC directly. The adaptive learning algorithms that trained the parameters of the RENN online are derived using Lyapunov stability theorem. Furthermore, a robust compensator is proposed to confront the uncertainties including approximation error, optimal parameter vectors, and higher order terms in Taylor series. Finally, some experimental results of tracking the various periodic trajectories demonstrate the validity of the proposed RDSMC for practical applications.

Adaptive Chattering Free Neural Network Based Sliding Mode Control for Trajectory Tracking of Redundant Parallel Manipulators

In this paper, an adaptive chattering free neural network‐based sliding mode control (ACFN‐SMC) method is proposed for tracking trajectories of redundant parallel manipulators. ACFN‐SMC combines adaptive chattering free radial basis function neural networks (RBFN), sliding mode control with online updating the robust term parameters, and a nonlinear compensation item for reducing tracking errors. The stability of the closed‐loop system with modeling uncertainties, frictional uncertainties, and external disturbances is ensured by using the Lyapunov method. The proposed controller has a simple structure and little computation time while securing dynamic performance with expected quality in tracking trajectories of redundant parallel manipulators. In addition, the ACFN‐SMC strategy does not need to know the upper bound of any uncertainties. From the simulation results, it is evident that the proposed control strategy not only has significantly higher robustness capability for uncertainties but also can achieve better chattering elimination when compared with those using existing intelligent control schemes.     

Direct decentralized neural control for nonlinear MIMO magnetic levitation system

A direct modified Elman neural networks (MENNs)-based decentralized controller is proposed to control the magnets of a nonlinear and unstable multi-input multi-output (MIMO) levitation system for the tracking of reference trajectories. First, the operating principles of a magnetic levitation system with two moving magnets are introduced. Then, due to the exact dynamic model of the MIMO magnetic levitation system is not clear, two MENNs are combined to be a direct MENN-based decentralized controller to deal with the highly nonlinear and unstable MIMO magnetic levitation system. Moreover, the connective weights of the MENNs are trained online by back-propagation (BP) methodology and the convergence analysis of the tracking error using discrete-type Lyapunov function is provided. Based on the direct and decentralized concepts, the computational burden is reduced and the controller design is simplified. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the proposed control scheme can control the magnets to track various periodic reference trajectories simultaneously in different operating conditions effectively.

This paper develops a novel adaptive integral sliding-mode control (SMC) technique to improve the tracking performance of a wheeled inverted pendulum (WIP) system, which belongs to a class of continuous time systems with input disturbance and/or unknown parameters. The proposed algorithm is established based on an integrating between the advantage of online adaptive reinforcement learning control and the high robustness of integral sliding-mode control (SMC) law. The main objective is to find a general structure of integral sliding mode control law that can guarantee the system state reaching a sliding surface in finite time. An adaptive/approximate optimal control based on the approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is responsible for the asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. Furthermore, the convergence possibility of proposed output feedback optimal control was determined without the convergence of additional state observer. Finally, the theoretical analysis and simulation results validate the performance of the proposed control structure.

An adaptive recurrent cerebellar-model-articulation-controller (RCMAC) sliding-mode control (SMC) system is developed for the uncertain nonlinear systems. This adaptive RCMAC sliding-model control (ARCSMC) system is composed of two systems. One is an adaptive RCMAC system utilized as the main controller, in which an RCMAC is designed to identify the system models. Another is a robust controller utilized to achieve system’s robust characteristics, in which an uncertainty bound estimator is developed to estimate the uncertainty bound so that the chattering phenomenon of control effort can be eliminated. The on-line adaptive laws of the ARCSMC system are derived in the sense of Lyapunov so that the system stability can be guaranteed. Finally, a comparison between SMC and ARCSMC for a chaotic system and a car-following system are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed ARCSMC system. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme can achieve favorable control performances for the chaotic system and car-following systems without the knowledge of system dynamic functions.

Fuzzy sliding mode control for a robot manipulator

This work presents the design of a robust control system using a sliding mode controller that incorporates a fuzzy control scheme. The presented control law superposes a sliding mode controller and a fuzzy logic controller. A fuzzy tuning scheme is employed to improve the performance of the control system. The proposed fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) scheme utilizes the complementary cooperation of the traditional sliding mode control (SMC) and the fuzzy logic control (FLC). In other words, the proposed control scheme has the advantages which it can guarantee the stability in the sense of Lyapunov function theory and can ameliorate the tracking errors, compared with the FLC and SMC, respectively. Simulation results for the trajectory tracking control of a two-link robot manipulator are presented to show the feasibility and robustness of the proposed control scheme.

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.

Big Bang-Big Crunch optimized hierarchical sliding-mode control of X-Z inverted pendulum

The control of the X-Z inverted pendulum is a challenging work since the X-Z inverted pendulum is an underactuated, open-loop unstable and multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear system. In this paper, we will present a novel state transformation method for the X-Z inverted pendulum and Big Bang–Big Crunch (BBBC) optimized hierarchical sliding-mode control (HSMC) structure. We will firstly show that through the proposed transformation, the model of the X-Z inverted pendulum can be transformed to a typical underactuated form. Thus, based on the obtained system model, the hierarchical sliding-mode control (HSMC) can be directly applied in the trajectory tracking control of the X-Z inverted pendulum. Then, to ensure a convergent performance of the auxiliary sliding surfaces, the BBBC method is applied to obtain the optimal coupling factors for the HSMC. The control performance of the proposed BBBC based HSMC structure is compared with that of the present SMC and the HSMC with particle swarm optimization (PSO). Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controllers for the X-Z inverted pendulum.

The presented Repetitive Control (RC) scheme ensures robust system stability when the system is subject to non-periodic uncertainties and exogenous disturbances.

Intelligent complementary sliding-mode control with dead-zone parameter modification

This paper proposes an intelligent complementary sliding-mode control (ICSMC) system which is composed of a computed controller and a robust controller. The computed controller includes a neural dynamics estimator and the robust compensator is designed to prove a finite L₂-gain property. The neural dynamics estimator uses a recurrent neural fuzzy inference network (RNFIN) to approximate the unknown system term in the sense of the Lyapunov function. In traditional neural network learning process, an over-trained neural network would force the parameters to drift and the system may become unstable eventually. To resolve this problem, a dead-zone parameter modification is proposed for the parameter tuning process to stop when tracking performance index is smaller than performance threshold. To investigate the capabilities of the proposed ICSMC approach, the ICSMC system is applied to a one-link robotic manipulator and a DC motor driver. The simulation and experimental results show that favorable control performance can be achieved in the sense of the L₂-gain robust control approach by the proposed ICSMC scheme.
