Global Feed-Forward Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Uncertain MIMO Nonlinear Systems
This study proposes a novel adaptive control approach using a feedforward Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy approximator for a class of highly unknown multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear plants. First of all, the design concept, namely, feedforward fuzzy approximator (FFA) based control, is introduced to compensate the unknown feedforward terms required during steady state via a forward TS fuzzy system which takes the desired commands as the input variables. Different from the traditional fuzzy approximation approaches, this scheme allows easier implementation and drops the boundedness assumption on fuzzy universal approximation errors. Furthermore, the controller is synthesized to assure either the disturbance attenuation or the attenuation of both disturbances and estimated fuzzy parameter errors or globally asymptotic stable tracking. In addition, all the stability is guaranteed from a feasible gain solution of the derived linear matrix inequality (LMI). Meanwhile, the highly uncertain holonomic constrained systems are taken as applications with either guaranteed robust tracking performances or asymptotic stability in a global sense. It is demonstrated that the proposed adaptive control is easily and straightforwardly extended to the robust TS FFA-based motion/force tracking controller. Finally, two planar robots transporting a common object is taken as an application example to show the expected performance. The comparison between the proposed and traditional adaptive fuzzy control schemes is also performed in numerical simulations.

Adaptive Discrete Second Order Sliding Mode Control with Application to Nonlinear Automotive Systems
Sliding mode control (SMC) is a robust and computationally efficient
model-based controller design technique for highly nonlinear systems, in the
presence of model and external uncertainties. However, the implementation of
the conventional continuous-time SMC on digital computers is limited, due to
the imprecisions caused by data sampling and quantization, and the chattering
phenomena, which results in high frequency oscillations. One effective solution
to minimize the effects of data sampling and quantization imprecisions is the
use of higher order sliding modes. To this end, in this paper, a new
formulation of an adaptive second order discrete sliding mode control (DSMC) is
presented for a general class of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) uncertain
nonlinear systems. Based on a Lyapunov stability argument and by invoking the
new Invariance Principle, not only the asymptotic stability of the controller
is guaranteed, but also the adaptation law is derived to remove the
uncertainties within the nonlinear plant dynamics. The proposed adaptive
tracking controller is designed and tested in real-time for a highly nonlinear
control problem in spark ignition combustion engine during transient operating
conditions. The simulation and real-time processor-in-the-loop (PIL) test
results show that the second order single-input single-output (SISO) DSMC can
improve the tracking performances up to 90%, compared to a first order SISO
DSMC under sampling and quantization imprecisions, in the presence of modeling
uncertainties. Moreover, it is observed that by converting the engine SISO
controllers to a MIMO structure, the overall controller performance can be
enhanced by 25%, compared to the SISO second order DSMC, because of the
dynamics coupling consideration within the MIMO DSMC formulation.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, 1 tabl
Adaptive ℋ∞-control for nonlinear systems: a dissipation theoretical approach
The adaptive ℋ∞-control problem for parameter-dependent nonlinear systems with full information feedback is considered. The techniques from dissipation theory as well as the vector and parameter projection methods are used to derive the adaptive ℋ∞-control laws. Both of the projection techniques are rigorously treated. The adaptive robust stabilization for nonlinear systems with ℒ2-gain hounded uncertainties is investigated
RISE-Based Integrated Motion Control of Autonomous Ground Vehicles With Asymptotic Prescribed Performance
This article investigates the integrated lane-keeping and roll control for autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) considering the transient performance and system disturbances. The robust integral of the sign of error (RISE) control strategy is proposed to achieve the lane-keeping control purpose with rollover prevention, by guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system, attenuating systematic disturbances, and maintaining the controlled states within the prescribed performance boundaries. Three contributions have been made in this article: 1) a new prescribed performance function (PPF) that does not require accurate initial errors is proposed to guarantee the tracking errors restricted within the predefined asymptotic boundaries; 2) a modified neural network (NN) estimator which requires fewer adaptively updated parameters is proposed to approximate the unknown vertical dynamics; and 3) the improved RISE control based on PPF is proposed to achieve the integrated control objective, which analytically guarantees both the controller continuity and closed-loop system asymptotic stability by integrating the signum error function. The overall system stability is proved with the Lyapunov function. The controller effectiveness and robustness are finally verified by comparative simulations using two representative driving maneuvers, based on the high-fidelity CarSim-Simulink simulation

Mathematical control of complex systems 2013
Mathematical control of complex systems have already become an ideal research area for control engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and biologists to understand, manage, analyze, and interpret functional information/dynamical behaviours from real-world complex dynamical systems, such as communication systems, process control, environmental systems, intelligent manufacturing systems, transportation systems, and structural systems. This special issue aims to bring together the latest/innovative knowledge and advances in mathematics for handling complex systems. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: control systems theory (behavioural systems, networked control systems, delay systems, distributed systems, infinite-dimensional systems, and positive systems); networked control (channel capacity constraints, control over communication networks, distributed filtering and control, information theory and control, and sensor networks); and stochastic systems (nonlinear filtering, nonparametric methods, particle filtering, partial identification, stochastic control, stochastic realization, system identification)
