Backstepping adaptive fuzzy control of uncertain nonlinear systems against actuator faults

A class of unknown nonlinear systems subject to uncertain actuator faults and external disturbances will be studied in this paper with the help of fuzzy approximation theory. Using backstepping technique, a novel adaptive fuzzy control approach is proposed to accommodate the uncertain actuator faults during operation and deal with the external disturbances though the systems cannot be linearized by feedback. The considered faults are modeled as both loss of effectiveness and lock-in-place （stuck at some unknown place）. It is proved that the proposed control scheme can guarantee all signals of the closed-loop system to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error between the system output and the reference signal converge to a small neighborhood of zero, though the nonlinear functions of the controlled system as well as the actuator faults and the external disturbances are all unknown. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the control approach.     

Robust tracking control of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown control directions

A global robust tracking control design procedure is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. The key point is that the signs of multiplicative uncertainties, the so-called control directions, are not assumed to be known a priori. The class of systems can be of arbitrary dynamic order and the unmatched additive uncertainties need not satisfy the global Lipschitz condition. It is proved that under the proposed control, all closed-loop states are bounded and the tracking error converges to any prescribed small neighborhood of the origin. The results of this paper enlarge the class of uncertain nonlinear systems for which global robust tracking control can be designed.

Robust and adaptive variable structure output feedback control of uncertain systems with input nonlinearity

This brief proposes a robust control algorithm for stabilization of a three-axis stabilized flexible spacecraft in the presence of parametric uncertainty, external disturbances and control input nonlinearity/dead-zone. The designed controller based on adaptive variable structure output feedback control satisfies the global reaching condition of sliding mode and ensures that the system state globally converges to the sliding mode. A modified version of the proposed control law is also designed for adapting the unknown upper bounds of the lumped uncertainties and perturbations. The stability of the system under the modified control law is established. Numerical simulations show that the precise attitude pointing and vibration suppression can be accomplished using the derived robust or adaptive controller.     

Robust adaptive control of nonlinear systems with unknown time delays

In this paper, robust adaptive control is presented for a class of parametric-strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown time delays. Using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, the uncertainties of unknown time delays are compensated for. Controller singularity problems are solved by employing practical robust control and regrouping unknown parameters. By using differentiable approximation, backstepping design can be carried out for a class of nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form. It is proved that the proposed systematic backstepping design method is able to guarantee global uniform ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system and the tracking error is proven to converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Design of a fuzzy adaptive controller for MIMO nonlinear time-delay systems with unknown actuator nonlinearities and unknown control direction

This paper aims at investigating the fuzzy adaptive control design for uncertain multivariable systems with unknown actuator nonlinearities and unknown control direction that possibly exhibit time-delay. The actuator nonlinearities involve dead-zone or backlash-like hysteresis, while the control direction is closely related to the sign of the control gain matrix. Two fuzzy adaptive controllers are proposed to deal with such an issue. The design of the first controller is mainly carried out in the free time-delay case, while the second control design is performed assuming that the system exhibits time-varying delays. Of practical interest, the adaptive compensation of the effects of the actuator nonlinearities requires neither the knowledge of their parameters nor the construction of their inverse. Furthermore, the lack of knowledge of the control direction is handled by incorporating in the control law a Nussbaum-type function. The effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy adaptive controllers is illustrated through simulation results.

Global adaptive exponential stabilisation for nonlinear systems with multiple unknown control directions

In this paper, we address the global generalised exponential stabilisation problem for a class of lower-triangular systems with multiple unknown directions. Instead of the well-known Nussbaum-gain adaptive rule, a Lyapunov-based adaptive logic switching rule is proposed to seek the correct control directions for such systems. The main advantage of the proposed controller is that it can guarantee the global generalised exponential stability of closed-loop systems. Simulation examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the developed control approach.     

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.     

Robust adaptive neural control of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems

In this paper, a robust adaptive neural control design approach is presented for a class of uncertain pure-feedback nonlinear systems. To reduce the complexity of the both controller structure and computation, only one neural network is used to approximate the lumped unknown function of the system at the last step of the recursive design process. By this approach, the complexity growing problem existing in conventional methods can be eliminated completely. Stability analysis shows that all the closed-loop system signals are uniformly ultimately bounded, and the steady state tracking error can be made arbitrarily small by appropriately choosing control parameters. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed approach.

Adaptive NN control of uncertain nonlinear pure-feedback systems

This paper is concerned with the control of nonlinear pure-feedback systems with unknown nonlinear functions. This problem is considered difficult to be dealt with in the control literature, mainly because that the triangular structure of pure-feedback systems has no affine appearance of the variables to be used as virtual controls. To overcome this difficulty, implicit function theorem is firstly exploited to assert the existence of the continuous desired virtual controls. NN approximators are then used to approximate the continuous desired virtual controls and desired practical control. With mild assumptions on the partial derivatives of the unknown functions, the developed adaptive NN control schemes achieve semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop. The control performance of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by suitably choosing the design parameters.

This study introduces an improved multiple model adaptive control (MMAC) algorithm for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems. The controller consists of a linear direct adaptive controller, a neural network-based nonlinear direct adaptive controller and a switching mechanism. The assumption of the nonlinear term is relaxed by incorporating a parameter estimator with an augmented error. The control direction of the system is not required to be known by employing a linear direct adaptive controller with the discrete Nussbaum gain and future output predictions. The stability of the closed-loop systems applying the proposed MMAC method is proved and the improved transient performance of the system is illustrated by the simulation results.
