    Composite Learning Control With Application to Inverted Pendulums

    Full text link
    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

    Composite adaptive locally weighted learning control for multi-constraint nonlinear systems

    A composite adaptive locally weighted learning (LWL) control approach is proposed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with system constraints, including state constraints and asymmetric control saturation in this paper. The system constraints are tackled by considering the control input as an extended state variable and introducing barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) into the backstepping procedure. The system uncertainty is approximated by a composite adaptive LWL neural networks (NNs), where a prediction error is constructed via a series-parallel identification model, and NN weights are updated by both the tracking error and the prediction error. The update law with composite error feedback improves uncertainty approximation accuracy and trajectory tracking accuracy. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach have been demonstrated by formal proof and simulation results

    Hamiltonian-Driven Adaptive Dynamic Programming with Efficient Experience Replay

    This article presents a novel efficient experience-replay-based adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) for the optimal control problem of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems within the Hamiltonian-driven framework. The quasi-Hamiltonian is presented for the policy evaluation problem with an admissible policy. With the quasi-Hamiltonian, a novel composite critic learning mechanism is developed to combine the instantaneous data with the historical data. In addition, the pseudo-Hamiltonian is defined to deal with the performance optimization problem. Based on the pseudo-Hamiltonian, the conventional Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation can be represented in a filtered form, which can be implemented online. Theoretical analysis is investigated in terms of the convergence of the adaptive critic design and the stability of the closed-loop systems, where parameter convergence can be achieved under a weakened excitation condition. Simulation studies are investigated to verify the efficacy of the presented design scheme

    Robust Adaptive Control Barrier Functions: An Adaptive & Data-Driven Approach to Safety (Extended Version)

    Full text link
    A new framework is developed for control of constrained nonlinear systems with structured parametric uncertainties. Forward invariance of a safe set is achieved through online parameter adaptation and data-driven model estimation. The new adaptive data-driven safety paradigm is merged with a recent adaptive control algorithm for systems nominally contracting in closed-loop. This unification is more general than other safety controllers as closed-loop contraction does not require the system be invertible or in a particular form. Additionally, the approach is less expensive than nonlinear model predictive control as it does not require a full desired trajectory, but rather only a desired terminal state. The approach is illustrated on the pitch dynamics of an aircraft with uncertain nonlinear aerodynamics.Comment: Added aCBF non-Lipschitz example and discussion on approach implementatio
