In the backstepping recursive design, fuzzy logic systems are employed to approximate the unknown smooth nonlinear functions, K-filters is designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to solve the problem of unknown sign of high-frequency gain. By combining adaptive fuzzy control theory and adaptive backstepping design, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It has been proven that the proposed adaptive fuzzy robust control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error can converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by appropriately choosing design parameters. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

First, the so-called stochastic LaSalle theory is extended to some extent, and accordingly, the results of global ultimate boundedness for stochastic nonlinear systems are developed. Next, a new design scheme of fuzzy adaptive control is proposed. The advantage of it is that it does not require priori knowledge of virtual control gain function sign, which is usually demanded in many designs. At the same time, the track performance of closed-loop systems is improved by adaptive modifying the estimated error upper bound. By theoretical analysis, the signals of closed-loop systems are globally ultimately bounded in probability and the track error converges to a small residual set around the origin in 4th-power expectation.展开更多

A TS fuzzy controller employs arbitrary input fuzzy sets, product or Zadeh fuzzy logic AND, TS fuzzy rules with linear consequent, and the generalized defuzzifler containing the popular centrold defuzzifler as a special case. We first establish the relationship between the TS fuzzy controller and the linear PID controller. The TS ftizzy controller is accurately a nonlinear PID controller with gains continuously changing with Its process output. Then we point out that the TS fuzzy controller is closely related to the traditional gain scheduler. The gains of the TS ftizzy controller are determined by three two - Input - one - output fuzzy systems with singleton output fuzzy sets. Finally, as a demonstration, a simple TS fuzzy controller employing two linear input fuzzy sets, Zadeh fuzzy logic AND, and the popular centrold defuzzifler is designed to be the gain scheduler for the PID controller.展开更多

The analytical expressions of the variable gains of the TS fuzzy controllers are derived and their mathematical characteristics including the bounds and geometrical shape of the gain variation are analyzed. The resulting explicit structures show that the TS fuzzy controllers are inherently nonlinear PID gain scheduling controllers with variable gains in different regions of input space.展开更多

Adaptive Fuzzy system provides a way for solving this problem because it can approximate any non-linear system at any accuracy. The key for adaptive Fuzzy system to solve problem is its learning ability, so the authors present a learning algorithm for Adaptive fuzzy system, which can build the system's model by learning from the measurement data as well as experience knowledge with high accuracy. Furthermore, the experiment using the learning algorithm to model a servo-mechanism and to construct the fault diagnosis system based on the model is carried out, the results is very good.展开更多

Indirect and direct methods are combined to design the adaptive fuzzy output feedback controller and a high-gain observer is used to estimate the derivatives of the system output. The closed-loop system is proven to be semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. In addition, it is shown that if the approximation accuracy of the fuzzy logic system is high enough and the observer gain is chosen sufficiently large, an arbitrarily small tracking error can be achieved. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the newly designed scheme and the theoretical discussion.展开更多
