Distributed prescribed performance control for consensus output tracking of nonlinear semi-strict feedback systems using finite-time disturbance observers

The distributed consensus output tracking problem is dealt with for a class of nonlinear semi-strict feedback systems in the presence of mismatched nonlinear uncertainties, external disturbances and uncertain nonlinear virtual control coefficients of the subsystems. The systems are under a directed communication graph, where the leader node is the root. The controller is designed in a backstepping manner, and the dynamic surface technique is adopted to avoid direct differentiation. At each step of virtual controller design, a prescribed performance controller is constructed to achieve prescribed transient performance so that the system states remain in the feasible domain. Then each virtual controller is enhanced by a finite-time disturbance observer which estimates the disturbance term in a finite-time. The properties of the control system are analysed theoretically. It is clarified that the prescribed performance control technique ensures that the system signals stay in the feasible domain, whereas sufficiently small ultimate control errors can be achieved by the finite-time disturbance observers. Finally, the performance of the proposed methods is confirmed by numerical studies.

Adaptive neural output feedback finite-time command filtered backstepping control for nonlinear systems with full-state constraints

In this paper, an adaptive neural finite-time control method via barrier Lyapunov function, command filtered backstepping, and output feedback is proposed to solve the tracking problem of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems with full-state constraints and input saturation. By utilizing the neural network (NN) to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, the finite-time command filters are used to filtering the virtual control signals and get the intermediate control signals in a finite time in the backstepping process. Because there are errors between the output of finite-time command filters and the virtual control signals, the error compensation signals are added to eliminate the influence of filtering errors. Based on the proposed control scheme, the states of the system can be constrained in the predetermined region, all signals in the system are bounded in finite time, and the tracking error can converge to the desired region in finite time. At last, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Adaptive non-singular fast terminal sliding mode based on prescribed performance for robot manipulators

A fast convergent non-singular terminal sliding mode adaptive control law based on prescribed performance is formulated to solve the uncertainties and external disturbances of robot manipulators. First, the tracking error of robot manipulators is transformed by using the prescribed performance function, which improves the transient behaviors and steady-state accuracy of robot manipulators. Then, a novel fast convergent non-singular terminal sliding mode surface is brought up according to the transformed error, and the control law is derived to meet the stability requirements of robot manipulators. In practice, the upper boundary of the lumped disturbances cannot be accurately obtained. Therefore, an adaptive prescribed performance control (PPC) controller to lumped disturbances is brought up to ensure the stability and finite-time convergence of robot manipulators. Finally, the system stability of robot manipulators is proved by the Lyapunov theorem. Simulation results and comparative analysis demonstrate the superiority and robustness of the raised strategy.

Firstly, a smooth function and adaptive fuzzy neural network online learning algorithm are designed to address the actuator saturation and dynamic model uncertainties. Secondly, a new finite-time command filtered technique is proposed to filter the virtual control signal. The improved error compensation signal can reduce the impact of filtering errors, and the tracking errors of system quickly converge to a smaller compact set within finite time. Finally, adaptive fuzzy neural network finite-time command filtered control achieves finite-time stability through Lyapunov stability criterion. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control.

Robust consensus algorithm for second-order multi-agent systems with external disturbances

This article investigates the problem of robust consensus for second-order multi-agent systems with external disturbances. Based on a non-smooth backstepping control technique, a class of novel continuous non-smooth consensus algorithms are proposed for the multi-agent network with/without communication delays. The controller design is divided into two steps. First, for the kinematic subsystem, the velocity is regarded as a virtual input and designed such that the states consensus can be achieved asymptotically. Then for the dynamic subsystem, a finite-time control law is designed such that the virtual velocity can be tracked by the real velocity in a finite time. Under the proposed control law, it is shown that if the communication topology graph contains a directed spanning tree, the states consensus can be achieved asymptotically in the absence of disturbances. In the presence of disturbances, the steady-state errors of any two agents can reach a small region around the origin. By building a relationship between control parameters and the bound of steady tracking errors, it is demonstrated that the disturbance rejection performance of the resulting closed-loop system can be enhanced by adjusting the fractional power in the non-smooth controller. Finally, an example is given to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.

Finite-time path following control for a stratospheric airship with input saturation and error constraint

This paper addresses the finite-time path following control problem for an under-actuated stratospheric airship with input saturation, error constraint, and external disturbances. To handle the adverse effect of input saturation, anti-windup compensators are employed and finite-time convergence of the saturated control solution is established. Error constraints of airship position and attitude are handled by incorporating a tan-type barrier Lyapunov function (TBLF) in guidance and attitude control schemes. Backstepping design is presented with the anti-windup compensators, the TBLF, and nonlinear disturbance observers which estimate the external disturbances. Stability analysis shows that the tracking errors of the airship position converge into a small set around zero within finite-time, the constrained requirements on the airship position and attitude are not violated during operation, and all closed-loop signals are guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Compared with the conventional control scheme, simulation results illustrate that the proposed finite-time controller offers a faster convergence rate and a higher path following accuracy for the stratospheric airship.     

Finite-time attitude quantised control for rigid spacecraft

This paper investigates the quantised finite-time attitude control for rigid spacecraft in the presence of external disturbance. First, a novel quantiser is designed with the combination and improvement of the traditional hysteresis logarithmic quantiser and hysteresis uniform quantiser, so that the innovative quantiser in this paper has the advantages of both hysteresis and uniform quantisers in ensuring chattering free and acceptable quantisation errors for better transient and steady-state performances. Second, a finite-time controller is synthesised even under disturbances and quantisation errors, and the closed-loop system/state converges to the region near zero in finite time. Finally, the attitude stabilisation and attitude tracking simulation results for the rigid spacecraft are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy.
