Asymmetric bounded neural control for an uncertain robot by state feedback and output feedback
In this paper, an adaptive neural bounded control scheme is proposed for an n-link rigid robotic manipulator with unknown dynamics. With the combination of the neural approximation and backstepping technique, an adaptive neural network control policy is developed to guarantee the tracking performance of the robot. Different from the existing results, the bounds of the designed controller are known a priori, and they are determined by controller gains, making them applicable within actuator limitations. Furthermore, the designed controller is also able to compensate the effect of unknown robotic dynamics. Via the Lyapunov stability theory, it can be proved that all the signals are uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme
Adaptive Backstepping Control for Fractional-Order Nonlinear Systems with External Disturbance and Uncertain Parameters Using Smooth Control
In this paper, we consider controlling a class of single-input-single-output
(SISO) commensurate fractional-order nonlinear systems with parametric
uncertainty and external disturbance. Based on backstepping approach, an
adaptive controller is proposed with adaptive laws that are used to estimate
the unknown system parameters and the bound of unknown disturbance. Instead of
using discontinuous functions such as the function, an
auxiliary function is employed to obtain a smooth control input that is still
able to achieve perfect tracking in the presence of bounded disturbances.
Indeed, global boundedness of all closed-loop signals and asymptotic perfect
tracking of fractional-order system output to a given reference trajectory are
proved by using fractional directed Lyapunov method. To verify the
effectiveness of the proposed control method, simulation examples are
presented.Comment: Accepted by the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics:

Adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems using disturbance observer
In this paper, the adaptive fuzzy tracking control is proposed for a class of multi-input and multioutput (MIMO) nonlinear systems in the presence of system uncertainties, unknown non-symmetric input saturation and external disturbances. Fuzzy logic systems (FLS) are used to approximate the system uncertainty of MIMO nonlinear systems. Then, the compound disturbance containing the approximation error and the time-varying external disturbance that cannot be directly measured are estimated via a disturbance observer. By appropriately choosing the gain matrix, the disturbance observer can approximate the compound disturbance well and the estimate error converges to a compact set. This control strategy is further extended to develop adaptive fuzzy tracking control for MIMO nonlinear systems by coping with practical issues in engineering applications, in particular unknown non-symmetric input saturation and control singularity. Within this setting, the disturbance observer technique is combined with the FLS approximation technique to compensate for the effects of unknown input saturation and control singularity. Lyapunov approach based analysis shows that semi-global uniform boundedness of the closed-loop signals is guaranteed under the proposed tracking control techniques. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed tracking control schemes
Neural Network-based Finite-time Control of Nonlinear Systems with Unknown Dead-zones: Application to Quadrotors
Over the years, researchers have addressed several control problems of various classes of nonlinear systems. This article considers a class of uncertain strict feedback nonlinear system with unknown external disturbances and asymmetric input dead-zone. Designing a tracking controller for such system is very complex and challenging. This article aims to design a finite-time adaptive neural network backstepping tracking control for the nonlinear system under consideration. In addition, all unknown disturbances and nonlinear functions are lumped together and approximated by radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). Moreover, no prior information about the boundedness of the dead-zone parameters is required in the controller design. With the aid of a Lyapunov candidate function, it has been shown that the tracking errors converge near the origin in finite-time. Simulation results testify that the proposed control approach can force the output to follow the reference trajectory in a short time despite the presence of asymmetric input dead-zone and external disturbances. At last, in order to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed control method, it is applied to a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
Barrier Lyapunov function-based adaptive fuzzy attitude tracking control for rigid satellite with input delay and output constraint
This paper investigates the adaptive attitude tracking problem for the rigid satellite involving output constraint, input saturation, input time delay, and external disturbance by integrating barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) and prescribed performance control (PPC). In contrast to the existing approaches, the input delay is addressed by Pade approximation, and the actual control input concerning saturation is obtained by utilizing an auxiliary variable that simplifies the controller design with respect to mean value methods or Nussbaum function-based strategies. Due to the implementation of the BLF control, together with an interval notion-based PPC strategy, not only the system output but also the transformed error produced by PPC are constrained. An adaptive fuzzy controller is then constructed and the predesigned constraints for system output and the transformed error will not be violated. In addition, a smooth switch term is imported into the controller such that the finite time convergence for all error variables is guaranteed for a certain case while the singularity problem is avoided. Finally, simulations are provided to show the effectiveness and potential of the proposed new design techniques
Disturbance observer-based neural network control of cooperative multiple manipulators with input saturation
In this paper, the complex problems of internal forces and position control are studied simultaneously and a disturbance observer-based radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) control scheme is proposed to: 1) estimate the unknown parameters accurately; 2) approximate the disturbance experienced by the system due to input saturation; and 3) simultaneously improve the robustness of the system. More specifically, the proposed scheme utilizes disturbance observers, neural network (NN) collaborative control with an adaptive law, and full state feedback. Utilizing Lyapunov stability principles, it is shown that semiglobally uniformly bounded stability is guaranteed for all controlled signals of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness of the proposed controller as predicted by the theoretical analysis is verified by comparative experimental studies
