Base...A double-layered model predictive control(MPC), which is composed of a steady-state target calculation(SSTC)layer and a dynamic control layer, is a prevailing hierarchical structure in industrial process control. Based on the reason analysis of the dynamic controller infeasibility, an on-line constraints softening strategy is given. At first, a series of regions of attraction(ROA) of the dynamic controller is calculated according to the softened constraints;then a minimal ROA containing the current state is chosen and the corresponding softened constraint is adopted by the dynamic controller. Note that, the above measures are performed on-line because the centers of the above ROA are the steady-state targets calculated at each instant. The effectiveness of the presented strategy is illustrated through two examples.展开更多

Thanks to the reformulated Lipschitz property, the Lipschitz systems can be transformed into LPV(linear parameter-varying) systems whose system matrices are affine in a parameter matrix. Based on the modified sector condition dealing with saturation nonlinearity, the design of a nonlinear anti-windup-based controller leads to the solvability of a set of bilinear matrix inequalities(BMI) on the vertices of a bounded convex set which can be solved by the so-called iterative linear matrix inequality(ILMI) algorithm. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The feedbacks are represented by non-specific, bounded, non-negative C<sup>1</sup> functions. The main result is the formulation and proof of an easily applicable criterion for existence of a globally stable fixed point of the system. The proof relies on the contraction mapping theorem. Applications of this type of systems are numerous in biology, e.g., models of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and testosterone secretion. Some results important for modelling are: 1) Existence of an attractive trapping region. This is a bounded set with non-negative elements where solutions cannot escape. All solutions are shown to converge to a “minimal” trapping region. 2) At least one fixed point exists. 3) Sufficient criteria for a unique fixed point are formulated. One case where this is fulfilled is when the feedbacks are negative.展开更多

In this paper, the grasping problem for a class of dexterous robotic hands is investigated based on the novel concept of constrained region in environment, which is inspired by the grasping operations of the human beings. More precisely, constrained region in environment is formed by the environment, which integrates a bio-inspired co-sensing framework. By utilizing the concept of constrained region in environment, the grasping by robots can be effectively accomplished with relatively low-precision sensors. For the grasping of dexterous robotic hands, the attractive region in environment is first established by model primitives in the configuration space to generate offline grasping planning. Then, online dynamic adjustment is implemented by integrating the visual sensory and force sensory information, such that the uncertainty can be further eliminated and certain compliance can be obtained. In the end, an experimental example of BarrettHand is provided to show the effectiveness of our proposed grasping strategy based on constrained region in environment.展开更多

Although impressive results have rapidly emerged from the use of SDRE designs for observers and filters, the underlying theory is yet scant and there remain many unanswered questions such as stability and convergence. In this paper, Lyapunov stability analysis is utilized in order to obtain the required conditions for exponential stability of the estimation error dynamics. We prove that under specific conditions, the proposed observer is at least locally exponentially stable. Moreover, a new definition of a detectable state-dependent factorization is introduced, and a close relation between the uniform detectability of the nonlinear system and the boundedness property of the state-dependent differential Riccati equation is established. Furthermore, through a simulation study of a second order nonlinear model, which satisfies the stability conditions, the promising performance of the proposed observer is demonstrated. Finally, in order to examine the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is applied to the highly nonlinear flux and angular velocity estimation problem for induction machines. The simulation results verify how effectively this modification can increase the region of attraction and the observer error decay rate.展开更多

The causal factors have the nonlinear and multiple characteristics, and as a result the conventional envelope protection system cannot successfully do with the condition. So dynamic envelope based on differential manifold theory, which can take more coupling factors into account, is proposed as a basis to design a novel envelope protection system. Then the relationship between the dynamic envelope and the control coefficient or pilot command is obtained, and the result shows that the dynamic envelope can be enlarged with the change of control coefficient. Furthermore, quantification of flight security is realized via defining relative distance between flight state and dynamic envelope, which can detect whether there is a risk for an aircraft in flight. Finally, an envelope protection system based on dynamic envelope enlargement is proposed on the basis. NASA's Generic Transport Model encountering hazard gust wind in climbing phase is taken as an example to verify the system's feasibility. The result shows that the system can give a better operation encountering upset condition and to a certain extent reduce the number of accidents or incidents.展开更多
