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:

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
Artificial Tune of Fuel Ratio: Design a Novel SISO Fuzzy Backstepping Adaptive Variable Structure Control
This paper examines single input single output (SISO) chattering free variable structure control (VSC) which controller coefficient is on-line tuned by fuzzy backstepping algorithm. VSC methodology is selected as a framework to construct the control law and address the stability and robustness of the close loop system based on Lyapunove formulation. The main goal is to guarantee acceptable fuel ratio result and adjust. The proposed approach effectively combines the design technique from variable structure controller is based on Lyapunov and fuzzy estimator to estimate the nonlinearity of undefined system dynamic in backstepping controller. The input represents the function between variable structure function, error and the rate of error. The outputs represent fuel ratio, respectively. The fuzzy backstepping methodology is on-line tune the variable structure function based on adaptive methodology. The performance of the SISO VSC which controller coefficient is on-line tuned by fuzzy backstepping algorithm (FBSAVSC) is validated through comparison with VSC and proposed method. Simulation results signify good performance of trajectory in presence of uncertainty torque load. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i2.209
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)
Time-Varying Input and State Delay Compensation for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
A robust controller is developed for uncertain, second-order nonlinear
systems subject to simultaneous unknown, time-varying state delays and known,
time-varying input delays in addition to additive, sufficiently smooth
disturbances. An integral term composed of previous control values facilitates
a delay-free open-loop error system and the development of the feedback control
structure. A stability analysis based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii (LK) functionals
guarantees uniformly ultimately bounded tracking under the assumption that the
delays are bounded and slowly varying
Adaptive Control of Unknown Pure Feedback Systems with Pure State Constraints
This paper deals with the tracking control problem for a class of unknown
pure feedback system with pure state constraints on the state variables and
unknown time-varying bounded disturbances. An adaptive controller is presented
for such systems for the very first time. The controller is designed using the
backstepping method. While designing it, Barrier Lyapunov Functions is used so
that the state variables do not contravene its constraints. In order to cope
with the unknown dynamics of the system, an online approximator is designed
using a neural network with a novel adaptive law for its weight update. In the
stability analysis of the system, the time derivative of Lyapunov function
involves known virtual control coefficient with unknown direction and to deal
with such problem Nussbaum gain is used to design the control law. Furthermore,
to make the controller robust and computationally inexpensive, a novel
disturbance observer is designed to estimate the disturbance along with neural
network approximation error and the time derivative of virtual control input.
The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a simulation
study on the third-order nonlinear system
Robust Backstepping Tracking Control of Mobile Robot Based on Nonlinear Disturbance Observer
This paper presents a robust backstepping control (BC) method based on nonlinear disturbance observer (NDOB) for trajectory tracking of the nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot (WMR) in the presence of external disturbances and parameters uncertainties. At first, a bounded Fuzzy logic based backstepping controller (BFLBC) is designed to control the WMR without considering the effects of the external disturbances and the parameters uncertainties. Typically, the conventional BC controller depends upon the state tracking errors analysis, where unbounded velocity signal is produced for the applications that have huge tracking errors. Therefore, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is introduced in this research in order to normalize the state tracking errors, so that the input errors to the BC are bounded to a finite interval. Finally, the designed BFLBC is integrated with the nonlinear disturbance observer in order to attenuate the external disturbances and model uncertainties. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller to generate a bounded velocity signal as well as to stabilize the tracking errors to zero. In addition, the results prove that the proposed controller provide an excellent disturbance attenuation as well as robustness against the parameters uncertainties
