Fuzzy motion control strategy for cooperation of multiple automated vehicles with passengers comfort

2008

This paper considers motion control for a cooperative system of automated passenger vehicles. It develops a cooperative scheme based on a decentralized planning algorithm which considers the vehicles in an initial open chain configuration. In this scheme the trajectories are intersections-free, and each trajectory is planned independently of the others. To ensure the stabilization of each vehicle in the planned trajectory, a fuzzy closed loop motion control is presented, where, based on the properties of the Fuzzy maps, the Lyapunov’s stability of the motion errors is demonstrated for all the vehicles. Based on the ISO 2631-1 standard, the saturation property of the Fuzzy maps guarantees lo…

Hierarchical fuzzy/Lyapunov control for horizontal plane trajectory tracking of underactuated AUV

2010

A new hierarchical closed loop fuzzy control system for horizontal plane trajectory tracking of underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) is presented. A model for the AUV is formulated introducing a polar coordinates transformation for the velocities in the body fixed frame. It is employed to control the unactuated sway direction, the longitudinal position and the yaw by using the surge force and the yaw torque only. The highest level control is developed by employing a fuzzy inference system for obtaining the guidance control laws. The properties of the fuzzy system ensure forward surge velocity, fast convergence and Lyapunov's stability of the motion errors. A new low level kine…

A new fuzzy robust dynamic controller for autonomous vehicles with nonholonomic constraints

2005

Abstract In this paper a novel algorithm with a dynamic fuzzy controller applied to the control of trajectory of vehicles with two independent wheels is proposed. An automatic control of trajectory of a vehicle can behave in a not efficient way. It is necessary to consider the friction of the actuators and possible perturbations coming from the outside environment, as for instance the variable characteristics of the ground where the vehicle moves. These perturbations, which depend also on the contact between the wheel and the ground, involve violations of nonholonomic constraints. Thus it is necessary to compensate for these perturbations to obtain a robust control system. The controller sy…

Control of uncertain highly nonlinear biological process based on Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models

2015

This note deals with the control of uncertain highly nonlinear biological processes. Indeed, an adaptive fuzzy control (AFC) scheme is developed for the pre-treatment of wastewater represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model. The proposed approach uses a fuzzy system to approximate the unknown substrate consumption rate in designing the adaptive controller, and then an observer is designed to estimate the concentration in substrate at the outlet bioreactor. The observer is employed to generate an error signal for the adaptive control law which permits to minimize the influence of the measurement noise on the estimation of the substrate concentration. An update of the fuzzy models parame…

Stability analysis and H<inf>∞</inf> controller design of a class of switched discrete-time fuzzy systems

2011

In this paper, the problems of stability analysis and H ∞ controller design of a class of switched nonlinear systems are investigated. In a classical way, the modeling of the systems is approached by switched fuzzy systems, and both fast switching and slow switching are considered there. In particular, for slow switching scheme, a new mode-dependent average dwell time switching is proposed for the underlying switched fuzzy systems. Based on a fuzzy-basis-dependent and mode-dependent Lyapunov function, the H ∞ state-feedback controller is derived. A numerical example is given to show the validity and potential of the theoretical results.

This paper deals with the fault detection problem for a class of discrete-time wireless networked control systems described by switching topology with uncertainties and disturbances. System states of each individual node are affected not only by its own measurements, but also by other nodes’ measurements according to a certain network topology. As the topology of system can be switched in a stochastic way, we aim to designH∞fault detection observers for nodes in the dynamic time-delay systems. By using the Lyapunov method and stochastic analysis techniques, sufficient conditions are acquired to guarantee the existence of the filters satisfying theH∞performance constraint, and observer gains…

Design on fuzzy control for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems

2014

The problem of Hankel-norm output feedback control is solved for a class of T-S fuzzy stochastic systems. The dynamic output feedback controller design technique is proposed by employing fuzzy-basis-dependent Lyapunov function approach and the conversion on the Hankel-norm controller parameters. Sufficient conditions are established to design the controllers such that the resulting closed-loop system is stochastically stable and satisfies a prescribed performance. The desired output feedback controller can be obtained by solving a convex optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved by standard numerical algorithms Refereed/Peer-reviewed

Input-Output Feedback Linearization Control with On-Line Inductances Estimation of Synchronous Reluctance Motors

2021

This paper proposes an adaptive input-output Feedback Linearization (FL) techniques for Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) drives, taking into consideration the iron losses. As a main original content, this work proposes a control law based on a new dynamic model of the SynRM including iron losses as well as the on-line estimation of the static inductances. The on-line estimation of the SynRM static inductances permits to inherently take into consideration the magnetic saturation phenomena occuring on both axes. The estimation law is obtained thanks to a Lyapunov-based analysis and thus the stability of the entire control system, including the estimation algorithm, is intrinsically guaran…

Novel Stability Criteria for T--S Fuzzy Systems

2014

In this paper, novel stability conditions for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems are presented. The so-called nonquadratic membership-dependent Lyapunov function is first proposed, which is formulated in a higher order form of both the system states and the normalized membership functions than existing techniques in the literature. Then, new membership-dependent stability conditions are developed by the new Lyapunov function approach. It is shown that the conservativeness of the obtained criteria can be further reduced as the degree of the Lyapunov function increases. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the obtained theoretical resul…

Stability analysis and controller design for a class of T-S fuzzy Markov jump system with uncertain expectation of packet dropouts

2013

This paper is concerned with an H∞ control for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy Markov jump system under unreliable communication links. It is assumed that the transition probabilities determining the dynamical behavior of the underlying system are partially unknown and the communication links between the plant and the controller are imperfect (the packet dropouts occur intermittently). In this paper, a more practical scenario is considered in the setting, i.e., the expectation of packet losses represented as a description of Bernoulli-distributed stochastic process is uncertain. Attention is focused on the design of H∞ controllers such that the closed-loop system is stochastically stab…
