A modified direct adaptive robust motion trajectory tracking controller of a pneumatic system

In this study, we developed and tested a high-precision motion trajectory tracking controller of a pneumatic cylinder driven by four costless on/off solenoid valves rather than by a proportional directional control valve. The relationship between the pulse width modulation （PWM） of a signal＇s duty cycle and control law was determined experimentally, and a mathematical model of the whole system established. Owing to unknown disturbances and unmodeled dynamics, there are considerable uncertain nonlinearities and parametric uncertainties in this pneumatic system. A modified direct adaptive robust controller （DARC） was constructed to cope with these issues. The controller employs a gradient type adaptation law based on discontinuous projection mapping to guarantee that estimated unknown model parameters stay within a known bounded region, and uses a deterministic robust control strategy to weaken the effects of unmodeled dynamics, disturbances, and parameter estimation errors. By using discontinuous projection mapping, the parameter adaptation law and the robust control law can be synthesized separately. A recursive backstepping technology is applied to account for unmatched model uncertainties. Kalman filters were designed sepa- rately to estimate the motion states and the derivative of the intermediate control law in synthesizing the deterministic robust control law. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Integrated direct/indirect adaptive robust contouring control of a biaxial gantry with accurate parameter estimations

This paper presents an integrated direct/indirect adaptive robust contouring controller (DIARC) for an industrial biaxial high-speed gantry that achieves not only excellent contouring performance but also accurate parameter estimations for secondary purposes such as machine health monitoring and prognosis. Contouring control problem is first formulated in a task coordinate frame. A physical model-based indirect-type parameter estimation algorithm is then developed to obtain accurate on-line estimates of unknown model parameters. A DIARC controller possessing dynamic-compensation-like fast adaptation is subsequently constructed to preserve the excellent transient and steady-state contouring performance of the direct adaptive robust controller (DARC) designs. The proposed DIARC along with previously developed DARC contouring controllers are implemented on a high-speed industrial biaxial gantry to test their achievable performance in practice. Comparative experimental results verify the improved contouring performance and the accurate physical parameter estimates of the proposed DIARC algorithm.

Robust adaptive trajectory tracking control of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles with prescribed performance

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive trajectory tracking control scheme with prescribed performance is developed for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) subject to unknown dynamic parameters and disturbances. A simple error mapping function is proposed in order to guarantee that the trajectory tracking error satisfies the prescribed performance. A novel additional control based on Nussbaum function is proposed to handle the underactuation of AUVs. The compounded uncertain item caused by the unknown dynamic parameters and disturbances is transformed into a linear parametric form with only single unknown parameter called virtual parameter. On the basis of the above, a novel robust adaptive trajectory tracking control law is developed using dynamic surface control technique, where the adaptive law online provides the estimation of the virtual parameter. Strict stability analysis indicates that the designed control law ensures uniform ultimate boundedness of the AUV trajectory tracking closed‐loop control system with prescribed tracking performance. Simulation results on an AUV in two different disturbance cases with dynamic parameter perturbation verify the effectiveness of our adaptive trajectory tracking control scheme.

Adaptive robust asymptotic tracking control of nonaffine nonlinear systems

This article investigates the barrier lyapunov function-based adaptive robust control scheme for nonaffine nonlinear systems with unknown system dynamics. First, the nonaffine system is converted into affine system via a combination of first-order filter and coordinate transformation, then a high-gain observer is utilized to reconstruct the immeasurable states of the derived affine system. Second, a robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) is incorporated into the control design to reject the unknown dynamics. Third, a barrier lyapunov function based design method is used to ensure that the input vector to the parameter estimation remain within a predefined region. Then, an adaptive robust control scheme with only one adaptive parameter by using the upper bound estimation is developed. Finally, numerical simulations validate the efficacy of the developed control scheme.     

Integrated adaptive robust control for multilateral teleoperation systems under arbitrary time delays

With the increasing industrial requirements such as bigger size object, stable operation, and complex task, multilateral teleoperation systems extended from traditional bilateral teleoperation are widely developed. In this paper, the integrated control design is developed for multilateral teleoperation systems, where n master manipulators are operated by human to remotely control n slave manipulators cooperatively handling a target object. For the first time, the control objectives of multilateral teleoperation including stability, synchronization, transparency, and internal force distribution are clarified systematically. A novel communication architecture is proposed to cope with communication delays, where the estimated environmental parameters are transmitted from the slave side to the master, to replace the traditional environmental force measurement in the communication channel. A kind of nonlinear adaptive robust control technique is used to deal with nonlinearities, unknown parameters, and modeling uncertainties existing in the master, slave, and environmental dynamics, so that the excellent tracking performance is achieved in both master and slave sides. The coordinated motion/force control is designed in the slave side by the optimal internal force distribution among n slave manipulators, and the impedance control is designed in the master side to realize the target transparency behavior. In summary, the proposed control algorithm can achieve the guaranteed robust stability, the excellent synchronization and transparency performance, and the optimal internal force distribution simultaneously for multilateral teleoperation systems under arbitrary time delays and various modeling uncertainties. The simulation is carried out on a 2‐master/2‐slave teleoperation system, and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed control design. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

一类含不匹配干扰的非线性系统非递归鲁棒/自适应一体化控制律设计

针对一类含不匹配干扰的非线性系统的控制问题, 基于递归化方案得到鲁棒或自适应控制律是常见的设计思路, 如反步法及其衍生控制策略等. 然而, 递归设计的控制律通常由含多偏微分项的多个虚拟控制器组成, 形式复杂的同时, 控制参数选取也较为困难, 易出现“复杂性爆炸”的问题, 因此较难得到广泛的工程应用. 同时, 因递归设计处理系统的非线性与不确定性的差异较大, 难以实现鲁棒/自适应控制的本质性融合. 本文从一个新颖的非递归控制角度出发, 提出了一个能够融合鲁棒/自适应控制策略的设计框架, 实现系统在不匹配受扰情形下的无静差跟踪. 仅通过一步坐标变换, 在等价的可镇定系统框架下, 根据实际工况来灵活切换合适的控制增益, 为工程师同时提供了两个可供选择的控制方案. 相较于已有算法, 本文所提控制器形式简洁易实现, 参数易调节, 适用范围广. 案例分析与实例仿真验证阐明了所提方法的简洁性及有效性, 并给出了一体化控制器工作模式的选取原则.

Fire-rule-based direct adaptive type-2 fuzzy H tracking control

This paper presents a novel H^∞ tracking-based direct adaptive fuzzy controller (HDAFC) for a class of perturbed uncertain affine nonlinear systems involving external disturbances and measurement noise. A practical interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy logic system (FLS) is introduced to approximate the ideal control law. To eliminate the tradeoff between H^∞ tracking performance and high gain at the control input, a modified output tracking error is introduced. Based on the proposed fired-rule-determination algorithm, a practical average defuzzifier expressed in parameterized and closed formula is developed for the IT2 FLS. Without the restriction that the control gain function is exactly known, the IT2 HDAFC is constructed and its adaptive law is derived by virtue of the Lyapunov synthesis. To improve control performance under measurement noise, the recursive linear smoothed Newton predictor is further introduced as a delayless output filter. Simulated application of a single-link robot manipulator demonstrates the superiority of the proposed approach over the previous approach in terms of the settling time, tracking accuracy, energy consumption and smoothness of the control input.

Centralized/decentralized indirect robust adaptive control for spacecraft attitude and robotics

The diffuse presence of robotic subsystems in new space mission concepts introduces variations and uncertainties in system mass and inertia, imposing stringent constraints to orbital and attitude control. The required performance can be achieved through several paradigms like robust or adaptive controllers and sometimes a combination of the two. In this work, a novel indirect controller, belonging to the robust-adaptive controllers class, is developed, with the core idea of requiring just one adaptive gain with consequent lower sensitivity and easier tunability. The algorithm is developed both in centralized and decentralized formulation and tested for reliability and parameter sensitivity.     

Indirect adaptive robust control of nonlinear systems with time‐varying parameters in a strict feedback form

Without any prior knowledge of the physical bounds of unknown parameters and uncertain nonlinearities, an indirect adaptive robust controller is constructed for uncertain nonlinear time‐varying systems in a strict‐feedback form. Firstly, an adaptive strong robust controller is derived based on the command filtered adaptive backstepping approach. This controller not only can guarantee the boundedness of the closed‐loop system signals in the presence of time‐varying (TV) parameters and uncertain nonlinearities but also obviate the need to compute analytic derivatives of virtual control functions. Thus, the problem of “explosion of terms” in the standard adaptive backstepping technique is avoided. Through introduction of a simple adaptation law on the upper bound of uncertainties, a smooth robust control term is used to realize the disturbance attenuation. Afterwards, based on the nonlinear X‐swapping techniques, a modular approach in which the controller and the identifier can be designed separately is exploited. A novel algorithm is proposed to estimate the TV parameters accurately. By adopting the variation trend of the covariance matrix as an indicator of the driving signals' persistent excitation level, this online parameter estimation law is switched between a modified least‐squares algorithm and a gradient algorithm based on fixed σ‐modification. Finally, a series of properties on the asymptotic stability and the global uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed‐loop system is established. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the suggested method.     

Observer‐based adaptive robust control of a class of nonlinear systems with dynamic uncertainties

In this paper, a discontinuous projection‐based adaptive robust control (ARC) scheme is constructed for a class of nonlinear systems in an extended semi‐strict feedback form by incorporating a nonlinear observer and a dynamic normalization signal. The form allows for parametric uncertainties, uncertain nonlinearities, and dynamic uncertainties. The unmeasured states associated with the dynamic uncertainties are assumed to enter the system equations in an affine fashion. A novel nonlinear observer is first constructed to estimate the unmeasured states for a less conservative design. Estimation errors of dynamic uncertainties, as well as other model uncertainties, are dealt with effectively via certain robust feedback control terms for a guaranteed robust performance. In contrast with existing conservative robust adaptive control schemes, the proposed ARC method makes full use of the available structural information on the unmeasured state dynamics and the prior knowledge on the bounds of parameter variations for high performance. The resulting ARC controller achieves a prescribed output tracking transient performance and final tracking accuracy in the sense that the upper bound on the absolute value of the output tracking error over entire time‐history is given and related to certain controller design parameters in a known form. Furthermore, in the absence of uncertain nonlinearities, asymptotic output tracking is also achieved. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
