Adaptive Fuzzy Tracking Control for Nonlinear State Constrained Pure-Feedback Systems With Input Delay via Dynamic Surface Technique
This brief constructs the adaptive backstepping control scheme for a class of
pure-feedback systems with input delay and full state constraints. With the
help of Mean Value Theorem, the pure-feedback system is transformed into
strict-feedback one. Barrier Lyapunov functions are employed to guarantee all
of the states remain constrained within predefined sets. By introducing the
Pade approximation method and corresponding intermediate, the impact generated
by input delay on the output tracking performance of the system can be
eliminated. Furthermore, a low-pass filter driven by a newly-defined control
input, is employed to generate the actual control input, which facilitates the
design of backstepping control. To approximate the unknown functions with a
desired level of accuracy, the fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are utilized by
choosing appropriate fuzzy rules, logics and so on. The minimal learning
parameter (MLP) technique is employed to decrease the number of nodes and
parameters in FLSs, and dynamic surface control (DSC) technique is leveraged to
avoid so-called "explosion of complexity". Moreover, smooth robust compensators
are introduced to circumvent the influences of external disturbance and
approximation errors. By stability analysis, it is proved that all of signals
in the closed-loop system are semi-globally ultimately uniform bounded, and the
tracking error can be within a arbitrary small neighbor of origin via selecting
appropriate parameters of controllers. Finally, the results of numerical
illustration are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed
method.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2310.1540
A brief review of neural networks based learning and control and their applications for robots
As an imitation of the biological nervous systems, neural networks (NN), which are characterized with powerful learning ability, have been employed in a wide range of applications, such as control of complex nonlinear systems, optimization, system identification and patterns recognition etc. This article aims to bring a brief review of the state-of-art NN for the complex nonlinear systems. Recent progresses of NNs in both theoretical developments and practical applications are investigated and surveyed. Specifically, NN based robot learning and control applications were further reviewed, including NN based robot manipulator control, NN based human robot interaction and NN based behavior recognition and generation
Unknown dynamics estimator-based output-feedback control for nonlinear pure-feedback systems
Most existing adaptive control designs for nonlinear pure-feedback systems have been derived based on backstepping or dynamic surface control (DSC) methods, requiring full system states to be measurable. The neural networks (NNs) or fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) used to accommodate uncertainties also impose demanding computational cost and sluggish convergence. To address these issues, this paper proposes a new output-feedback control for uncertain pure-feedback systems without using backstepping and function approximator. A coordinate transform is first used to represent the pure-feedback system in a canonical form to evade using the backstepping or DSC scheme. Then the Levant's differentiator is used to reconstruct the unknown states of the derived canonical system. Finally, a new unknown system dynamics estimator with only one tuning parameter is developed to compensate for the lumped unknown dynamics in the feedback control. This leads to an alternative, simple approximation-free control method for pure-feedback systems, where only the system output needs to be measured. The stability of the closed-loop control system, including the unknown dynamics estimator and the feedback control is proved. Comparative simulations and experiments based on a PMSM test-rig are carried out to test and validate the effectiveness of the proposed method
Simultaneous identification, tracking control and disturbance rejection of uncertain nonlinear dynamics systems: A unified neural approach
Previous works of traditional zeroing neural networks (or termed Zhang neural networks, ZNN) show great success for solving specific time-variant problems of known systems in an ideal environment. However, it is still a challenging issue for the ZNN to effectively solve time-variant problems for uncertain systems without the prior knowledge. Simultaneously, the involvement of external disturbances in the neural network model makes it even hard for time-variant problem solving due to the intensively computational burden and low accuracy. In this paper, a unified neural approach of simultaneous identification, tracking control and disturbance rejection in the framework of the ZNN is proposed to address the time-variant tracking control of uncertain nonlinear dynamics systems (UNDS). The neural network model derived by the proposed approach captures hidden relations between inputs and outputs of the UNDS. The proposed model shows outstanding tracking performance even under the influences of uncertainties and disturbances. Then, the continuous-time model is discretized via Euler forward formula (EFF). The corresponding discrete algorithm and block diagram are also presented for the convenience of implementation. Theoretical analyses on the convergence property and discretization accuracy are presented to verify the performance of the neural network model. Finally, numerical studies, robot applications, performance comparisons and tests demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed neural network model for the time-variant tracking control of UNDS
Adaptive Fuzzy Tracking Control with Global Prescribed-Time Prescribed Performance for Uncertain Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems
Adaptive fuzzy control strategies are established to achieve global
prescribed performance with prescribed-time convergence for strict-feedback
systems with mismatched uncertainties and unknown nonlinearities. Firstly, to
quantify the transient and steady performance constraints of the tracking
error, a class of prescribed-time prescribed performance functions are
designed, and a novel error transformation function is introduced to remove the
initial value constraints and solve the singularity problem in existing works.
Secondly, based on dynamic surface control methods, controllers with or without
approximating structures are established to guarantee that the tracking error
achieves prescribed transient performance and converges into a prescribed
bounded set within prescribed time. In particular, the settling time and
initial value of the prescribed performance function are completely independent
of initial conditions of the tracking error and system parameters, which
improves existing results. Moreover, with a novel Lyapunov-like energy
function, not only the differential explosion problem frequently occurring in
backstepping techniques is solved, but the drawback of the semi-global
boundedness of tracking error induced by dynamic surface control can be
overcome. The validity and effectiveness of the main results are verified by
numerical simulations on practical examples
Asymptotic Tracking Control of Uncertain MIMO Nonlinear Systems with Less Conservative Controllability Conditions
For uncertain multiple inputs multi-outputs (MIMO) nonlinear systems, it is
nontrivial to achieve asymptotic tracking, and most existing methods normally
demand certain controllability conditions that are rather restrictive or even
impractical if unexpected actuator faults are involved. In this note, we
present a method capable of achieving zero-error steady-state tracking with
less conservative (more practical) controllability condition. By incorporating
a novel Nussbaum gain technique and some positive integrable function into the
control design, we develop a robust adaptive asymptotic tracking control scheme
for the system with time-varying control gain being unknown its magnitude and
direction. By resorting to the existence of some feasible auxiliary matrix, the
current state-of-art controllability condition is further relaxed, which
enlarges the class of systems that can be considered in the proposed control
scheme. All the closed-loop signals are ensured to be globally ultimately
uniformly bounded. Moreover, such control methodology is further extended to
the case involving intermittent actuator faults, with application to robotic
systems. Finally, simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate the
effectiveness and flexibility of this method
Nonlinear robust adaptive NN control for variable-sweep aircraft
In this paper, we address the problem of altitude and velocity controllers design for variable-sweep aircraft with model uncertainties. The object is to maintain altitude and velocity during the wing transition process where mass distribution and aerodynamic parameters change significantly. Based on the functional decomposition, the longitudinal dynamics of the aircraft can be divided into altitude subsystem in non-affine pure feedback form and velocity subsystem. And then nonlinear robust adaptive NN velocity controller and altitude controller are designed with backstepping method to relax the prior requirements of aerodynamic parameters accuracy in linear LPV controller design. The method of filtered signal is used to circumvent the algebraic loop problem caused by the dynamics of non-affine pure feedback form. Dynamic surface control (DSC) and minimal learning parameters (MLP) techniques are employed to solve the problems of ‘explosion of complexity’ in the back-stepping method and the online updated parameters being too much. The robust terms have been introduced to eliminate the influences of approximation errors. According to the Lyapunov-LaSalle invariant set theorem, the semi-global boundedness and convergence of all the signals of the closed-loop system are proved. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the control algorithm with good performance
