Fuzzy adaptive sliding mode controller for electrically driven wheeled mobile robot for trajectory tracking task

This paper presents a fuzzy adaptive sliding mode controller(FASMC)for electrically driven wheeled mobile robot for trajectory tracking task in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances.First,a finite-time kinematic controller is developed to compute the auxiliary velocity vector.Second,the FASMC,based on the nonlinear dynamic model of the robot and its actuators,is used to guarantee the stability and the convergence of the closed-loop system.Moreover,by employing the advantages of the fuzzy logic systems,the developed controller ensures the robustness of the system against dynamic disturbances and uncertainties,the smoothness of the computing voltage against the chattering phenomenon,and the optimal convergence of the velocity and posture errors.The Lyapunov theory is used to analyse the stability of this algorithm.In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed method,numerical simulations are done in the Mahlab/Simulink environment.

Variable speed wind turbine for maximum power capture using adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode control

This paper presents a nonlinear control approach to variable speed wind turbine(VSWT)with a wind speed estimator.The dynamics of the wind turbine(WT)is derived from single mass model.In this work,a modified Newton Raphson estimator has been considered for exact estimation of effective wind speed.The main objective of this work is to extract maximum energy from the wind at below rated wind speed while reducing drive train oscillation.In order to achieve the above objectives,VSWT should operate close to the optimal power coefficient.The generator torque is considered as the control input to achieve maximum energy capture.From the literature,it is clear that existing linear and nonlinear control techniques suffer from poor tracking of WT dynamics,increased power loss and complex control law.In addition,they are not robust with respect to input disturbances.In order to overcome the above drawbacks,adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode control(AFISMC)is proposed for VSWT control.The proposed controller is tested with different types of disturbances and compared with other nonlinear controllers such as sliding mode control and integral sliding mode control.The result shows the better performance of AFISMC and its robustness to input disturbances.In this paper,the discontinuity in integral sliding mode controller is smoothed by using hyperbolic tangent function,and the sliding gain is adapted using a fuzzy technique which makes the controller more robust.

Adaptive Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control of Under-actuated Nonlinear Systems

A new extension of the conventional adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control（AFSMC） scheme, for the case of under-actuated and uncertain affine multiple-input multiple-output（MIMO） systems, is presented. In particular, the assumption for non-zero diagonal entries of the input gain matrix of the plant is relaxed. In other words, the control effect of one actuator can propagate from a subgroup of canonical state equations to the rest of equations in an indirect sense. The asymptotic stability of the proposed AFSM control method is proved using a Lyapunov-based methodology. The effectiveness of the proposed method for the case of under-actuated systems is investigated in the presence of plant uncertainties and disturbances, through simulation studies.
