Application of Wavelet Networks to Adaptive Control of Robotic Manipulators
2011
Published version of a chapter in the book: Intelligent Robotics and Applications. Also available from the publisher at; http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-25489-5_39 In this paper, a wavelet-based adaptive control is proposed for a class of robotic manipulators, which consist of nonlinearities for friction effects and uncertain terms as disturbances. The controller is calculated by using a mixed of feedback linearization technique, supervisory control and H∞ control. In addition, the parameter adaptive laws of the wavelet network are developed using a Lyapunov-based design. It is also shown that both system tracking stability and convergence of the error estimation can be guaranteed in th…
Observer-Based Robust Control for Hydraulic Velocity Control System
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/689132 Open access This paper investigates the problems of robust stabilization and robust control for the secondary component speed control system with parameters uncertainty and load disturbance. The aim is to enhance the control performance of hydraulic system based on Common Pressure Rail (CPR). Firstly, a mathematical model is presented to describe the hydraulic control system. Then a novel observer is proposed, and an observed-based control strategy is designed such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and satisfies …
Adaptive Backstepping Control of a 2-DOF Helicopter
2019
This paper proposes an adaptive nonlinear controller for a 2-Degree of Freedom (DOF) helicopter. The proposed controller is designed using backstepping control technique and is used to track the pitch and yaw position references independently. A MIMO nonlinear mathematical model is derived for the 2DOF helicopter based on Euler-Lagrange equations, where the system parameters and the control coefficients are uncertain. Unlike some existing control schemes for the helicopter control, the developed controller does not require the knowledge on the system uncertain parameters. Updating laws are used to estimate the unknown parameters. It is shown that not only the global stability is guaranteed …
The control of indoor thermal comfort conditions: introducing a fuzzy adaptive controller
2004
The control and the monitoring of indoor thermal conditions represents a pre-eminent task with the aim of ensuring suitable working and living spaces to people. Especially in industrialised countries, in fact, several rules and standards have been recently released in order of providing technicians with suitable design tools and effective indexes and parameters for the checking of the indoor microclimate. Among them, predicted mean vote (PMV) index is often adopted for assessing the thermal comfort conditions of thermal moderate environments. Unfortunately, the PMV index is characterised by non-linear features, that could determine some difficulties when monitoring and controlling HVAC equi…
Observer-based adaptive stabilization of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems
2014
In this paper, an adaptive output feedback stabilization method for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is presented. Since this approach does not require any information about the bound of uncertainties, this information is not needed a priori and a mechanism for its estimation is exploited. The adaptation law is obtained using the Lyapunov direct method. Since all the states are not measurable, an observer is designed to estimate unmeasurable states for stabilization. Therefore, in the design procedure, first an observer is designed and then the control signal is constructed based on the estimated states and adaptation law with the σ-modification algorithm. The uniformly ultimately bou…
Stiffness Estimation and Adaptive Control for Soft Robots
2022
Nonostante la sorprendente crescita nello sviluppo dei robot ispirati alla natura, tra cui i cosiddetti soft robot, il potenziale di questi sistemi, che hanno intrinseche capacità di adattamento, non è ancora stato sfruttato a pieno. La ricerca ha principalmente considerato il controllo in retroazione della posizione dei giunti del robot, lasciando la gestione della cedevolezza di questi ultimi ancora in anello aperto. Peraltro, le attuali limitazioni nel processo di produzione degli attuatori a cedevolezza variabile e l'inevitabile variabilità nel tempo degli elementi elastici costitutivi, i quali sono soggetti ad usura e deformazione plastica, rendono il problema della determinazione prec…
Adaptive consensus of uncertain nonlinear systems with event triggered communication and intermittent actuator faults
2019
This paper investigates distributed consensus tracking problem for uncertain nonlinear systems with event-triggered communication. The common desired trajectory information and each subsystem's state will be broadcast to their linked subsystems only when predefined triggering conditions are satisfied. Compared with the existing related literature, the main features of the results presented in this paper include four folds. (i) A totally distributed adaptive control scheme is developed for multiple nonlinear systems without Lipschitz condition, while with parametric uncertainties. (ii) The derivative of desired trajectory function is allowed unknown by all subsystems and directed communicati…
Evaluation of Hemodynamic Parameters for Adaptive Control of the Artificial Heart by Simulation of the Vascular System
1984
Abstract A nonlinear dynamic mathematical model of the cardiovascular system is outlined, which is employable to analyse the hemodynamic system behaviour under normal as well as under pathological conditions. By modifying this model, assuming that cardiac output is constant at a preset level (which is in accordance with most of the total artificial heart systems, since their pumps output is preselected with fixed driving parameters), the hemodynamic behaviour of a circulation system with an artificial heart was simulated. Comparing the simulation results with those obtained from total artificial heart experiments, a good agreement in right atrial and aortic pressure under exercise condition…
Adaptive Asymptotically Tracking Control for Uncertain Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems with Input Quantization
2018
In this paper, we investigate the output tracking control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in parametric strict feedback form with quantized input. A novel backstepping based adaptive quantized control scheme is proposed. Different from the existing results, the true quantization parameters are allowed to be unknown in the design of adaptive controller. It is shown that with the proposed control scheme, the system output can track the desired trajectory asymptotically and all the closed-loop signals are globally uniformly bounded.
Adaptive Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Control of Non-Linear Processes
2011
The main objective of this study is to provide a valid and effective approach for the design and development of an adaptive type-2 fuzzy controller (AT2FLC), based on the analysis of the nonlinear process dynamics and the use of an ANFIS technique for the optimization of the controller. The performance of the obtained AT2FLC, characterized by a few number of rules, is higher than the performance of a traditional type-2 fuzzy controller with a larger rule base. The proposed controller is particurarly suitable for the control of processes characterized by uncertainty and time varying parameters.
