Output feedback regulation control for a class of cascade nonlinear systems by time‐varying Kalman observer

The global output feedback regulation problem is studied for a class of cascade nonlinear systems. The considered system represents more general classes of nonlinear uncertain systems, including the integral input‐to‐state stable (iISS) unmodeled dynamics, the unknown control direction, the parameter uncertainty, and the external disturbance additively in the input channel. Technically, we explore the changing supply rate technique for the iISS system to deal the iISS unmodeled dynamics and apply the Nussbaum‐type gain into the control design to overcome the unknown control direction. Additionally, a dynamic extended state observer in the form of a time‐varying Kalman observer is novelly constructed to overcome the unmeasured state components in the nonlinear uncertainties. It is shown that the global regulation problem is well addressed by the proposed method, and its efficacy is demonstrated by a fan speed control system.

Passivity-based neural network adaptive output feedback control for nonlinear nonnegative dynamical systems

The potential clinical applications of adaptive neural network control for pharmacology in general, and anesthesia and critical care unit medicine in particular, are clearly apparent. Specifically, monitoring and controlling the depth of anesthesia in surgery is of particular importance. Nonnegative and compartmental models provide a broad framework for biological and physiological systems, including clinical pharmacology, and are well suited for developing models for closed-loop control of drug administration. In this paper, we develop a neural adaptive output feedback control framework for adaptive set-point regulation of nonlinear uncertain nonnegative and compartmental systems. The proposed framework is Lyapunov-based and guarantees ultimate boundedness of the error signals corresponding to the physical system states and the neural network weighting gains. The approach is applicable to nonlinear nonnegative systems with unmodeled dynamics of unknown dimension and guarantees that the physical system states remain in the nonnegative orthant of the state-space for nonnegative initial conditions. Finally, a numerical example involving the infusion of the anesthetic drug midazolam for maintaining a desired constant level of depth of anesthesia for noncardiac surgery is provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.     

Robust adaptive quantized DSC of uncertain pure‐feedback nonlinear systems with time‐varying output and state constraints

In this paper, the problem of neural adaptive dynamic surface quantized control is studied the first time for a class of pure‐feedback nonlinear systems in the presence of state and output constraint and unmodeled dynamics. The considered system is under the control of a hysteretic quantized input signal. Two types of one‐to‐one nonlinear mapping are adopted to transform the pure‐feedback system with different output and state constraints into an equivalent unconstrained pure‐feedback system. By designing a novel control law based on modified dynamic surface control technique, many assumptions of the quantized system in early literary works are removed. The unmodeled dynamics is estimated by a dynamic signal and approximated based on neural networks. The stability analysis indicates that all the signals in the closed‐loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the output and all the states remain in the prescribed time‐varying or constant constraints. Two numerical examples with a coarse quantizer show that the proposed approach is effective for the considered system.     

Neural network-based robust adaptive control of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics

A neural network-based robust adaptive control design scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear systems represented by input–output models with an unknown nonlinear function and unmodeled dynamics. By on-line approximating the unknown nonlinear functions and unmodeled dynamics by radial basis function (RBF) networks, the proposed approach does not require the unknown parameters to satisfy the linear dependence condition. It is proved that with the proposed control law, the closed-loop system is stable and the tracking error converges to zero in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and unknown nonlinearity. A simulation example is presented to demonstrate the method.     

Prescribed performance adaptive neural output feedback dynamic surface control for a class of strict‐feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with full state constraints and unmodeled dynamics

This paper studies the output feedback tracking control problem for a class of strict‐feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with full state constraints and unmodeled dynamics using a prescribed performance adaptive neural dynamic surface control design approach. A nonlinear mapping technique is employed to address the state constraints. Radial basis function neural networks are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. The unmodeled dynamics is addressed by introducing an available dynamic signal. Subsequently, we construct the controller and parameter adaptive laws using a backstepping technique. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that all signals in the closed‐loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded and that the tracking error always remains within the prescribed performance bound. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

Design of observer-based adaptive controller for nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and actuator dead-zone

This paper presents an up-to-date study on the observer-based control problem for nonlinear systems in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and actuator dead-zone. By introducing a dynamic signal to dominate the unmodeled dynamics and using an adaptive nonlinear damping to counter the effects of the nonlinearities and dead-zone input, the proposed observer and controller can ensure that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness. Only one adaptive parameter is needed no matter how many unknown parameters there are. The system investigated is more general and there is no need to solve Linear matrix inequality (LMI). Moreover, with our method, some assumptions imposed on nonlinear terms and dead-zone input are relaxed. Finally, simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control scheme.     

A robust direct adaptive controller

This paper proposes a new direct adaptive control algorithm which is robust with respect to additive and multiplicative plant unmodeled dynamics. The algorithm is designed based on the reduced-order plant, which is assumed to be minimum phase and of known order and relative degree, but is analyzed with respect to the overall plant which, due to the unmodeled dynamics, may be nonminimum phase and of unknown order and relative degree. It is shown that if the unmodeled dynamics are sufficiently small in the low-frequency range, then the algorithm guarantees boundedness of all signals in the adaptive loop and "small" residual tracking errors for any bounded initial conditions. In the absence of unmodeled dynamics, the residual tracking error is shown to be zero.     

Adaptive output feedback control of a class of multi-input multi-output systems using neural networks

For a class of uncertain multi-input multi-output non-linear systems an adaptive output feedback control methodology is developed using linearly parameterized neural networks. The neural network operates over a tapped delay line of memory units, comprised of system input/output signals. The adaptive laws for neural network parameters are written in terms of a linear observer of the nominal system's error dynamics. Ultimate boundedness of the error signals is shown through Lyapunov's direct method. Simulations illustrate the theoretical results.

Neural-network control of mobile manipulators

In this paper, a neural network (NN)-based methodology is developed for the motion control of mobile manipulators subject to kinematic constraints. The dynamics of the mobile manipulator is assumed to be completely unknown, and is identified online by the NN estimators. No preliminary learning stage of NN weights is required. The controller is capable of disturbance-rejection in the presence of unmodeled bounded disturbances. The tracking stability of the closed-loop system, the convergence of the NN weight-updating process and boundedness of NN weight estimation errors are all guaranteed. Experimental tests on a 4-DOF manipulator arm illustrate that the proposed controller significantly improves the performance in comparison with conventional robust control.     

Modeling and Adaptive Neural Network Control for a Soft Robotic Arm With Prescribed Motion Constraints

This paper presents a dynamic model and performance constraint control of a line-driven soft robotic arm. The dynamics model of the soft robotic arm is established by combining the screw theory and the Cosserat theory. The unmodeled dynamics of the system are considered, and an adaptive neural network controller is designed using the backstepping method and radial basis function neural network. The stability of the closed-loop system and the boundedness of the tracking error are verified using Lyapunov theory. The simulation results show that our approach is a good solution to the motion constraint problem of the line-driven soft robotic arm.      

Robust adaptive DSC of directly input‐coupled nonlinear systems with input unmodeled dynamics and time‐varying output constraints

In this paper, an adaptive robust dynamic surface control is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear interconnected systems with time‐varying output constraints and dynamic input and output coupling. The directly coupled inputs and control inputs are both of nonlinear input unmodeled dynamics. To counteract the instable impact of the nonlinear input unmodeled dynamics, normalization signals are designed on the basis of the convergence rates of their Lyapunov functions. With new state variables and control variables being defined, the real control inputs are obtained through solving the equations of intermediate control laws. The time‐varying constraints on output signals are implemented by introducing asymmetric barrier Lyapunov functions. In addition, dynamic signals and decentralized K‐filters are used to deal with the state unmodeled dynamics and to estimate the unmeasurable states, respectively. By the theoretical analysis, the signals in the closed‐loop system are proved to be semi‐globally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the output constraints are guaranteed simultaneously. A numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust adaptive prescribed performance control for a class of nonlinear pure‐feedback systems

An adaptive prescribed performance control design procedure for a class of nonlinear pure‐feedback systems with both unknown vector parameters and unmodeled dynamics is presented. The unmodeled dynamics lie within some bounded functions, which are assumed to be partially known. A state transformation and an auxiliary system are proposed to avoid using the cumbersome formula to handle the nonaffine structure. Simultaneously, a parameter‐type Lyapunov function and L function are designed to ensure the prescribed performance of the pure‐feedback system. As illustrated by examples, the proposed adaptive prescribed performance control scheme is shown to guarantee global uniform ultimate boundedness. At the same time, this method not only guarantees the prescribed performance of the system but also makes the tracking error asymptotically close to a certain value or stable.     

Adaptive tracking control of uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems with time-varying delays and unmodeled dynamics

In this paper, adaptive neural tracking control is proposed based on radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) for a class of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with completely unknown control directions, unknown dynamic disturbances, unmodeled dynamics, and uncertainties with time-varying delay. Using the Nussbaum function properties, the unknown control directions are dealt with. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, the unknown upper bound functions of the time-varying delay uncertainties are compensated. The proposed control scheme does not need to calculate the integral of the delayed state functions. Using Young s inequality and RBFNNs, the assumption of unmodeled dynamics is relaxed. By theoretical analysis, the closed-loop control system is proved to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded.

Neural observer-based adaptive compensation control for nonlinear time-varying delays systems with input constraints

This paper describes a neural network state observer-based adaptive saturation compensation control for a class of time-varying delayed nonlinear systems with input constraints. An advantage of the presented study lies in that the state estimation problem for a class of uncertain systems with time-varying state delays and input saturation nonlinearities is handled by using the NNs learning process strategy, novel type Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the adaptive memoryless neural network observer. Furthermore, by utilizing the property of the function tan h²(?/?)/?, NNs compensation technique and backstepping method, an adaptive output feedback controller is constructed which not only efficiently avoids the problem of controller singularity and input saturation, but also can achieve the output tracking. And the proposed approach is obtained free of any restrictive assumptions on the delayed states and Lispchitz condition for the unknown nonlinear functions. The semiglobal uniform ultimate boundedness of all signals of the closed-loop systems and the convergence of tracking error to a small neighborhood are all rigorously proven based on the NN-basis function property, Lyapunov method and sliding model theory. Finally, two examples are simulated to confirm the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed approach.     

Robust Adaptive Neural Network Control For A Class Of Multiple‐Input Multiple‐Output Nonlinear Time Delay System With Hysteresis Inputs And Dynamic Uncertainties

This paper studies an adaptive neural control for nonlinear multiple‐input multiple‐output systems with dynamic uncertainties, hysteresis input, and time delay. The studied systems are composed of N nonlinear time‐delay subsystems and the interconnection terms are contained in every equation of each subsystem. Adaptive neural control algorithms are developed by introducing a well‐defined smooth function. The unknown time‐varying delays and the unmodeled dynamics are dealt with by constructing appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions and introducing an available dynamic signal. The main advantage of the proposed controllers is that they contain fewer parameter estimates that need to be updated online. Consequently, the accuracy of ultimate tracking errors asymptotically approaches a pre‐defined bound, and all signals in the closed‐loop systems are also ensured to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed adaptive neural network control schemes.
