Adaptive fuzzy control for a class of uncertain nonaffine nonlinear systems

An adaptive fuzzy control approach is proposed for a class of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with completely unknown nonaffine functions. The MIMO systems are composed of n subsystems and each of subsystems is in the nested lower triangular form. It is difficult and complicated to control this class of systems due to the existence of unknown nonaffine functions and the couplings among the nested subsystems. This difficulty is overcome by introducing some special type Lyapunov functions and taking advantage of the mean-value theorem, the backstepping design method and the approximation property of the fuzzy systems. The proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. A simulation experiment is utilized to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Decentralized adaptive tracking control of nonaffine nonlinear large-scale systems with time delays

This paper addresses the problem of decentralized tracking control of large-scale systems with uncertain nonaffine nonlinear isolated subsystems and nonlinear interconnections with time-varying delays. Based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach and implicit function theorem, a delay-independent decentralized tracking controller is proposed. Due to functional approximation capability of fuzzy logic systems (FLS), neither strict structure restrictions on the isolated subsystems nor a priori knowledge of the strong interconnections with time-varying delays is required in our control design. Furthermore, transient performance of the resulting closed-loop system is also addressed under an analytical framework. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.     

Decentralised direct adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller for a class of large-scale nonaffine nonlinear systems and its applications

A novel cooperation-based decentralised direct adaptive fuzzy control via output feedback is developed for a class of large-scale nonaffine uncertain nonlinear systems using a direct adaptive fuzzy approach in this article. Under assumption that all the controllers share their prior information about the subsystem reference models, the interconnections between subsystems are relaxed to arbitrarily strong nonlinearities without matching conditions. The assumption on input gains is extended from typical positive constants to highly nonlinear functions. The feedback and adaptation mechanisms require neither the typical observation error filtering nor the famous strictly positive-real condition. Based on Lyapunov's direct method, the tracking errors of the closed-loop large-scale system are guaranteed to converge to tunable neighbourhoods of the origin. The proposed algorithm is applied to controlling two mechanical large-scale systems and simulation results substantiate its effectiveness.     

RBFN-based decentralized adaptive control of a class of large-scale non-affine nonlinear systems

For a class of large-scale decentralized nonlinear systems with strong interconnections, a radial basis function neural network (RBFN) adaptive control scheme is proposed. The system is composed of a class of non-affine nonlinear subsystems, which are implicit function and smooth with respect to control input. Based on implicit function theorem, inverse function theorem and the design idea of pseudo-control, a novel control algorithm is proposed. Two neural networks are used to approximate unknown nonlinearities in the subsystem and unknown interconnection function, respectively. The stability is proved rigidly. The result of simulation validates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Robust adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems based on backstepping technique

In this paper, the robust adaptive fuzzy tracking control problem is discussed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems. The fuzzy logic systems in Mamdani type are used to approximate unknown nonlinear functions. A design scheme of the robust adaptive fuzzy controller is proposed by use of the backstepping technique. The proposed controller guarantees semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the derived closed-loop system and achieves the good tracking performance. The possible controller singularity problem which may occur in some existing adaptive control schemes with feedback linearization techniques can be avoided. In addition, the number of the on-line adaptive parameters is not more than the order of the designed system. Finally, two simulation examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Direct adaptive fuzzy control for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems

This article presents a direct adaptive fuzzy control scheme for a class of uncertain continuous-time multi-input multi-output nonlinear (MIMO) dynamic systems. Within this scheme, fuzzy systems are employed to approximate an unknown ideal controller that can achieve control objectives. The adjustable parameters of the used fuzzy systems are updated using a gradient descent algorithm that is designed to minimize the error between the unknown ideal controller and the fuzzy controller. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is performed using a Lyapunov approach. In particular, it is shown that the tracking errors are bounded and converge to a neighborhood of the origin. Simulations performed on a two-link robot manipulator illustrate the approach and exhibit its performance.     

Observer-based adaptive fuzzy control for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems

An observer-based adaptive fuzzy control is presented for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown time delays. The state observer is first designed, and then the controller is designed via the adaptive fuzzy control method based on the observed states. Both the designed observer and controller are independent of time delays. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the uncertainty of the unknown time delay is compensated, and then the fuzzy logic system in Mamdani type is utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the constructed observer-based controller and the closed-loop system are proved to be asymptotically stable. The designed control law is independent of the time delays and has a simple form with only one adaptive parameter vector, which is to be updated on-line. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The closed‐loop large‐scale system is proved to be asymptotically stable. Simulation results confirmed the validity of the approach presented. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Semi-global sampled-data output feedback disturbance rejection control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper investigates the semi-global output feedback disturbance rejection control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with additive disturbances using linear sampled-data control. Aiming to reject the adverse effects caused by the uncertainties and unknown nonlinear perturbations which may not satisfy the strict feedback or feedforward structure, a new generalised discrete-time extended state observer is proposed to estimate the disturbance at sampling points. An output feedback disturbance rejection control law is then constructed in a sampled-data form which facilitates digital implementations. By selecting adequate control gains and a sufficiently small sampling period to restrain the state growth under a zero-order-hold input, the semi-global asymptotic stability of the hybrid closed-loop system and the disturbance rejection ability are proved. Both numerical example and an application of a single-link robot arm system demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed method.

Robust adaptive fuzzy control for a class of perturbed pure-feedback nonlinear systems

A new design scheme of direct adaptive fuzzy controller for a class of perturbed pure-feedback nonlinear systems is proposed. The design is based on backstepping and the approximation capability of the first type fuzzy systems. A continuous robust term is adopted to minify the influence of modeling errors or disturbances. By introducing the modified integral-type Lyapunov function, the approach is able to avoid the requirement of the upper bound of the first time derivation of the high frequency control gain. Through theoretical analysis, the closed-loop control system is proven to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded, with tracking error converging to a residual set.     

Non-affine nonlinear adaptive control of decentralized large-scale systems using neural networks

This paper introduces a new decentralized adaptive neural network controller for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with unknown non-affine subsystems and unknown interconnections represented by nonlinear functions. A radial basis function neural network is used to represent the controller’s structure. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed through Lyapunov stability analysis. The effectiveness of the proposed decentralized adaptive controller is illustrated by considering two nonlinear systems: a two-inverted pendulum and a turbo generator. The simulation results verify the merits of the proposed controller.     

Robust adaptive fuzzy VSS control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems using small gain design

In this paper, a novel robust adaptive fuzzy variable structure control (RAFVSC) scheme is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. The uncertain nonlinear system and gain functions originating from modeling errors and external disturbances are all unstructured (or non-repeatable), state-dependent and completely unknown. The Takagi–Sugeno type fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate uncertain functions in the systems and the RAFVSC is designed by use of the input-to-state stability (ISS) approach and small gain theorem. In the algorithm, there are three advantages which are that the asymptotic stability of adaptive control in the presence of unstructured uncertainties can be guaranteed, the possible controller singularity problem in some of existing adaptive control schemes using feedback linearization techniques can be removed and the adaptive mechanism with minimal learning parameterizations can be achieved. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed methods are discussed and illustrated with two simulation examples.
