New model reference adaptive control with input constraints

A new scheme of adaptive control is proposed for a class of linear time-invariant（ LTI） dynamical systems,especially in aerospace,with matched parametric uncertainties and input constraints. Based on a typical and conventional direct model reference adaptive control scheme,various modifications have been employed to achieve the goal. ＂C omposite model reference adaptive control＂of higher performance is seam-lessly combined with ＂positive μ-mod＂,which consequently results in a smooth tracking trajectory despite of the input constraints.

VARIABLE STRUCTURE MODEL－FOLLOWING ADAPTIVE CONTROL DESIGN FOR ROBOT MANIPULATORS

The increasing demand on robotic system performance leads to the use of advanced control strategies. A variable structure model-following adaptive control design is presented for the nonlinear robot manipulator systems, when subjected to fast and wide ranges of unknown-but-bounded parameter variations and disturbances. The design does not require any knowledge of a nonlinear robotic system. The system is robust and insensitive to the parameter variation, disturbances, as well as to the unmodeled dynamics. This insensitive property enables the elimination of interactions among the various joints of the robotic manipulator. In the closed loop, the robotic system asymptotically converges to the reference trajectory with a Prescribed transient resPOnse. The problem of chattering is discussed with the introduction of the special approaches: boundary layer, smoothing law, and nonlinear compensation.

Novel Lyapunov-based rapid and ripple-free MPPT using a robust model reference adaptive controller for solar PV system

The technological,economic,and environmental benefits of photovoltaic(PV)systems have led to their wide-spread adoption in recent years as a source of electricity generation.However,precisely identifying a PV system’s maximum power point(MPP)under normal and shaded weather conditions is crucial to conserving the maximum generated power.One of the biggest concerns with a PV system is the existence of partial shading,which produces multiple peaks in the P–V characteristic curve.In these circumstances,classical maximum power point tracking(MPPT)approaches are prone to getting stuck on local peaks and failing to follow the global maximum power point(GMPP).To overcome such obstacles,a new Lyapunov-based Robust Model Reference Adaptive Controller(LRMRAC)is designed and implemented to reach GMPP rapidly and ripple-free.The proposed controller also achieves MPP accurately under slow,abrupt and rapid changes in radiation,temperature and load profile.Simulation and OPAL-RT real-time simulators in various scenarios are performed to verify the superiority of the proposed approach over the other state-of-the-art methods,i.e.,ANFIS,INC,VSPO,and P&O.MPP and GMPP are accomplished in less than 3.8 ms and 10 ms,respectively.Based on the results presented,the LRMRAC controller appears to be a promising technique for MPPT in a PV system.

A new decentralized adaptive control scheme is presented for linear time invariant systems with first order interconnections. The proposed control scheme with “proportional plus integral” terms is used to improve the convergence rate and the ultimate bound of the tracking error. It is important to note that the adaptive scheme uses lower adaptive gains and smaller control inputs to avoid input saturation and oscillatory behavior. Simulation results are illustrated for controlling a dual inverted pendulum and a multivariable turbofan engine using the proposed adaptive scheme. These simulations validate out conclusions.

Composite Adaptive Control of Belt Polishing Force for Aero-engine Blade

The existing methods for blade polishing mainly focus on robot polishing and manual grinding.Due to the difficulty in high-precision control of the polishing force,the blade surface precision is very low in robot polishing,in particular,quality of the inlet and exhaust edges can not satisfy the processing requirements.Manual grinding has low efficiency,high labor intensity and unstable processing quality,moreover,the polished surface is vulnerable to burn,and the surface precision and integrity are difficult to ensure.In order to further improve the profile accuracy and surface quality,a pneumatic flexible polishing force-exerting mechanism is designed and a dual-mode switching composite adaptive control(DSCAC) strategy is proposed,which combines Bang-Bang control and model reference adaptive control based on fuzzy neural network(MRACFNN) together.By the mode decision-making mechanism,Bang-Bang control is used to track the control command signal quickly when the actual polishing force is far away from the target value,and MRACFNN is utilized in smaller error ranges to improve the system robustness and control precision.Based on the mathematical model of the force-exerting mechanism,simulation analysis is implemented on DSCAC.Simulation results show that the output polishing force can better track the given signal.Finally,the blade polishing experiments are carried out on the designed polishing equipment.Experimental results show that DSCAC can effectively mitigate the influence of gas compressibility,valve dead-time effect,valve nonlinear flow,cylinder friction,measurement noise and other interference on the control precision of polishing force,which has high control precision,strong robustness,strong anti-interference ability and other advantages compared with MRACFNN.The proposed research achieves high-precision control of the polishing force,effectively improves the blade machining precision and surface consistency,and significantly reduces the surface roughness.

Adaptive Trajectory Tracking Control for a Nonholonomic Mobile Robot

As one of the core issues of the mobile robot motion control, trajectory tracking has received extensive attention. At present, the solution of the problem only takes kinematic or dynamic model into account separately, so that the presented strategy is difficult to realize satisfactory tracking quality in practical application. Considering the unknown parameters of two models, this paper presents an adaptive controller for solving the trajectory tracking problem of a mobile robot. Firstly, an adaptive kinematic controller utilized to generate the command of velocity is designed based on Backstepping method. Then, in order to make the real velocity of mobile robot reach the desired velocity asymptotically, a dynamic adaptive controller is proposed adopting reference model and Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, through simulating typical trajectories including circular trajectory, fold line and parabola trajectory in normal and perturbed cases, the results illustrate that the control scheme can solve the tracking problem effectively. The proposed control law, which can tune the kinematic and dynamic model parameters online and overcome external disturbances, provides a novel method for improving trajectory tracking performance of the mobile robot.

Robust adaptive control of hypersonic vehicle considering inlet unstart

In this paper,a model reference adaptive control(MRAC)augmentation method of a linear controller is proposed for air-breathing hypersonic vehicle(AHV)during inlet unstart.With the development of hypersonic flight technology,hypersonic vehicles have been gradually moving to the stage of weaponization.During the maneuvers,changes of attitude,Mach number and the back pressure can cause the inlet unstart phenomenon of scramjet.Inlet unstart causes significant changes in the aerodynamics of AHV,which may lead to deterioration of the tracking performance or instability of the control system.Therefore,we firstly establish the model of hypersonic vehicle considering inlet unstart,in which the changes of aerodynamics caused by inlet unstart is described as nonlinear uncertainty.Then,an MRAC augmentation method of a linear controller is proposed and the radial basis function(RBF)neural network is used to schedule the adaptive parameters of MRAC.Furthermore,the Lyapunov function is constructed to prove the stability of the proposed method.Finally,numerical simulations show that compared with the linear control method,the proposed method can stabilize the attitude of the hypersonic vehicle more quickly after the inlet unstart,which provides favorable conditions for inlet restart,thus verifying the effectiveness of the augmentation method proposed in the paper.
