Fuzzy-logic-based control, filtering, and fault detection for networked systems: A Survey

This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in fuzzy-logic-based filtering, control, and fault detection problems. First, the network technologies are introduced, the networked control systems are categorized from the aspects of fieldbuses and industrial Ethernets, the necessity of utilizing the fuzzy logic is justified, and the network-induced phenomena are discussed. Then, the fuzzy logic control strategies are reviewed in great detail. Special attention is given to the thorough examination on the latest results for fuzzy PID control, fuzzy adaptive control, and fuzzy tracking control problems. Furthermore, recent advances on the fuzzy-logic-based filtering and fault detection problems are reviewed. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out, for example, topics on two-dimensional networked systems, wireless networked control systems, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of networked systems, and fuzzy access control in open networked systems.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301, 61374039, 61473163, and 61374127, the Hujiang Foundation of China under Grants C14002 andD15009, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

Globally Intelligent Adaptive Finite-/Fixed- Time Tracking Control for Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems via Composite Learning Approaches

This article focuses on the globally composite adaptive law-based intelligent finite-/fixed- time (FnT/FxT) tracking control issue for a family of uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems. First, intelligent approximators with new composite updating laws are developed to model uncertain nonlinear terms, which encompass prediction errors to enhance intelligent approximators' learning behaviors and fewer online learning parameters to diminish computational burden. Then, a novel smooth switching function coupled with robust controllers is designed to pull system states back when the transients are out of the approximators' active domain. After that, a modified FnT/FxT backstepping technique is constructed to render output to follow the reference trajectory, and an adaptive law is employed to alleviate the impact of external disturbances. It is theoretically confirmed that the proposed control strategies ensure globally FnT/FxT boundedness of all the closed-loop variables. Finally, the validity of theoretical results is testified via a simulation case.Comment: 6 pages,12 figure

Composite Learning Control With Application to Inverted Pendulums

Composite adaptive control (CAC) that integrates direct and indirect adaptive control techniques can achieve smaller tracking errors and faster parameter convergence compared with direct and indirect adaptive control techniques. However, the condition of persistent excitation (PE) still has to be satisfied to guarantee parameter convergence in CAC. This paper proposes a novel model reference composite learning control (MRCLC) strategy for a class of affine nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainties to guarantee parameter convergence without the PE condition. In the composite learning, an integral during a moving-time window is utilized to construct a prediction error, a linear filter is applied to alleviate the derivation of plant states, and both the tracking error and the prediction error are applied to update parametric estimates. It is proven that the closed-loop system achieves global exponential-like stability under interval excitation rather than PE of regression functions. The effectiveness of the proposed MRCLC has been verified by the application to an inverted pendulum control problem.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, conference submissio

Disturbance Observer-based Robust Control and Its Applications: 35th Anniversary Overview

Disturbance Observer has been one of the most widely used robust control tools since it was proposed in 1983. This paper introduces the origins of Disturbance Observer and presents a survey of the major results on Disturbance Observer-based robust control in the last thirty-five years. Furthermore, it explains the analysis and synthesis techniques of Disturbance Observer-based robust control for linear and nonlinear systems by using a unified framework. In the last section, this paper presents concluding remarks on Disturbance Observer-based robust control and its engineering applications.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
