Robust control for spacecraft rendezvous system with actuator unsymmetrical saturation: a gain scheduling approach

This paper has proposed a robust control for the spacecraft rendezvous system by considering the parameter uncertainties and actuator unsymmetrical saturation based on the discrete gain scheduling approach. By changing of variables, we transform the actuator unsymmetrical saturation control problem into a symmetrical one. The main advantage of the proposed method is improving the dynamic performance of the closed-loop system with a region of attraction as large as possible. By the Lyapunov approach and the scheduling technology, the existence conditions for the admissible controller are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities. The numerical simulation illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust global stabilization of spacecraft rendezvous system via gain scheduling

The problem of robust global stabilization of a spacecraft circular orbit rendezvous system with input saturation and inputadditive uncertainties is studied in this paper. The relative models with saturation nonlinearity are established based on Clohessey-Wiltshire equation. Considering the advantages of the recently developed parametric Lyapunov equation-based low gain feedback design method and an existing high gain scheduling technique, a new robust gain scheduling controller is proposed to solve the robust global stabilization problem. To apply the proposed gain scheduling approaches, only a scalar nonlinear equation is required to be solved. Different from the controller design, simulations have been carried out directly on the nonlinear model of the spacecraft rendezvous operation instead of a linearized one. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown.

Gain scheduling consensus of multi-agent systems subject to actuator saturation

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a gain scheduling approach for achieving the consensus tracking of multi-agent systems with actuator saturation. We first construct a series of nesting ellipsoid invariant sets associated with consensus errors. When the consensus errors stay between the two ellipsoid invariant sets, the feedback gains keep constant, but when the consensus errors enter into the smaller ellipsoid invariant set, the feedback gains abruptly become larger. By combining this gain scheduling technique and the parametric Lyapunov equations, we, respectively, design state and output feedback gain scheduling protocols. Their main advantage, in comparison with the fixed case, is that the convergence rate of consensus tracking can be enhanced by scheduling the gain parameters. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of theoretical analysis.     

Switching signal design for asymptotic stability of uncertain multiple equilibrium switched systems with actuator saturation

This paper addresses the problem of robust control for a class of multiple equilibrium switched systems with actuator saturation and parameter uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties are described in norm‐bounded form. By combining the parametric Lyapunov equation approach and the gain‐scheduling technique, stabilization conditions are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. State‐feedback controllers can be designed to guarantee the robust stability and performance of the closed‐loop system in the presence of parameter uncertainties and actuator saturation. The proposed method is to increase the convergence rate during the convergence of the states. Numerical examples and simulations are worked out to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed results.

Disturbance attenuation by output feedback for linear systems subject to actuator saturation

In this paper, we study the problem of disturbance attenuation by output feedback for linear systems subject to actuator saturation. A nonlinear output feedback, expressed in the form of a quasi‐linear parameter‐varying system with state‐dependent scheduling parameter, is constructed that leads to the attenuation of the effect of the disturbance on the output of the system. The level of disturbance attenuation is measured in terms of the restricted ℒ︁₂ gain and the restricted ℒ︁₂–ℒ︁_∞ gain over a class of bounded disturbances.

Set invariance analysis and gain-scheduling control for LPV systems subject to actuator saturation

In this paper, a set invariance analysis and gain scheduling control design approach is proposed for the polytopic linear parameter-varying systems subject to actuator saturation. A set invariance condition is first established. By utilizing this set invariance condition, the design of a time-invariant state feedback law is formulated and solved as an optimization problem with LMI constraints. A gain-scheduling controller is then designed to further improve the closed-loop performance. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed analysis and design method.     

Robust stability analysis and fuzzy-scheduling control for nonlinear systems subject to actuator saturation

Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models can provide an effective representation of complex nonlinear systems in terms of fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning applied to a set of linear input-output submodels. In this paper, the TS fuzzy modeling approach is utilized to carry out the stability analysis and control design for nonlinear systems with actuator saturation. The TS fuzzy representation of a nonlinear system subject to actuator saturation is presented. In our TS fuzzy representation, the modeling error is also captured by norm-bounded uncertainties. A set invariance condition for the system in the TS fuzzy representation is first established. Based on this set invariance condition, the problem of estimating the domain of attraction of a TS fuzzy system under a constant state feedback law is formulated and solved as a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization problem. By viewing the state feedback gain as an extra free parameter in the LMI optimization problem, we arrive at a method for designing state feedback gain that maximizes the domain of attraction. A fuzzy scheduling control design method is also introduced to further enlarge the domain of attraction. An inverted pendulum is used to show the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy controller.     

A Saturating Extension of an Output Feedback Controller for Internally Damped Euler‐Lagrange Systems

In this research, a novel extension of the passivity‐based output feedback trajectory tracking controller is developed for internally damped Euler‐Lagrange systems with input saturation. Compared with the previous output feedback controllers, this new design of a combined adaptive controller‐observer system will reduce the risk of actuator saturation effectively via generalized saturation functions. Semi‐global uniform ultimate boundedness stability of the tracking errors and state estimation errors is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability analysis. An application of the proposed saturated output feedback controller is the stabilization of a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot with saturated actuators towards desired trajectories. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed controller in dealing with the actuator saturation.     

An iterative Q‐learning scheme for the global stabilization of discrete‐time linear systems subject to actuator saturation

In this paper, we propose a model‐free algorithm for global stabilization of linear systems subject to actuator saturation. The idea of gain‐scheduled low gain feedback is applied to develop control laws that avoid saturation and achieve global stabilization. To design these control laws, we employ the framework of parameterized algebraic Riccati equations (AREs). Reinforcement learning techniques are developed to find the solution of the parameterized ARE without requiring any knowledge of the system dynamics. In particular, we present an iterative Q‐learning scheme that searches for a low gain parameter and iteratively solves the parameterized ARE using the Bellman equation. Both state feedback and output feedback algorithms are developed. It is shown that the proposed scheme achieves model‐free global stabilization under bounded controls and convergence to the optimal solution of the ARE is achieved. Simulation results are presented that confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust global stabilization of linear systems with input saturation via gain scheduling

The problem of robust global stabilization of linear systems subject to input saturation and input‐additive uncertainties is revisited in this paper. By taking advantages of the recently developed parametric Lyapunov equation‐based low gain feedback design method and an existing dynamic gain scheduling technique, a new gain scheduling controller is proposed to solve the problem. In comparison with the existing ?₂‐type gain scheduling controller, which requires the online solution of a state‐dependent nonlinear optimization problem and a state‐dependent ?₂ algebraic Riccati equation (ARE), all the parameters in the proposed controller are determined a priori. In the absence of the input‐additive uncertainties, the proposed controller also partially recovers Teel's ?_∞‐type scheduling approach by solving the problem of global stabilization of linear systems with actuator saturation. The ?_∞‐type scheduling approach achieves robustness not only with non‐input‐additive uncertainties but also requires the closed‐form solution to an ?_∞ ARE. Thus, the proposed scheduling method also addresses the implementation issues of the ?_∞‐type scheduling approach in the absence of non‐input‐additive uncertainties.

State feedback design for nonlinear quadratic systems with randomly occurring actuator saturation

This paper is concerned with the problem of state feedback control for nonlinear quadratic systems with randomly occurring actuator saturation. The considered actuator saturation is assumed to occur in a random way, and the randomly occurring rates of the saturation are time-varying with known upper and lower bounds. By using the Lyapunov approach, a sufficient condition is given to guarantee that the closed-loop system is locally asymptotically stable in mean-square sense. The desired controller gain can be obtained in terms of the solutions to certain linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a simulation example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Parametric control to a type of quasi-linear second-order systems via output feedback

This paper considers the design of output feedback control for a type of quasi-linear second-order systems with the time-varying coefficient matrices containing the state variables and a time-varying parameter vector. Based on the solution to a type of second-order generalised Sylvester matrix equations, general complete parameterisation of a quasi-linear output feedback controller is established with respect to the state variables, the time-varying parameter vector, the constant closed-loop system and another two groups of arbitrary parameters, and also for the left and right closed-loop eigenvectors matrices. With the proposed parametric output feedback control, the closed-loop system can be transformed into a constant linear system with desired eigenstructure. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the convenience and effectiveness of application in the general spacecraft rendezvous problem.     

Adaptive Fuzzy Backstepping Tracking Control for Flexible Robotic Manipulator

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy state feedback control method is proposed for the single-link robotic manipulator system. The considered system contains unknown nonlinear function and actuator saturation. Fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) and a smooth function are used to approximate the unknown nonlinearities and the actuator saturation, respectively. By combining the command-filter technique with the backstepping design algorithm, a novel adaptive fuzzy tracking backstepping control method is developed. It is proved that the adaptive fuzzy control scheme can guarantee that all the variables in the closed-loop system are bounded, and the system output can track the given reference signal as close as possible. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Distributed output feedback MPC with randomly occurring actuator saturation and packet loss

In this paper, a distributed output feedback model predictive control (OFMPC) algorithm is presented for the polytopic uncertain system subject to randomly occurring actuator saturation and packet loss. Compared with the intensively applied state feedback control in MPC, the OFMPC is more feasible to the real world because the system states are often unmeasurable. With taking both actuator saturation and packet loss into account, the presented OFMPC algorithm is more practical. Moreover, by splitting the controller inputs into two independent parts, the presented dynamic output feedback control (DOFC) strategy provides more freedom to the controller design. With the global system decomposed into some subsystems, the computation complexity is reduced, thus the online designing time can be saved. By defining the estimation error function and forming an augmented system to handle the DOFC and by transforming the nonlinear feedback law into a convex hull of linear feedback laws, the distributed controllers are obtained by solving a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization problem. Finally, some simulation examples are employed to show the effectiveness of the techniques proposed in this paper. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
