Design of observer-based adaptive controller for nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and actuator dead-zone

This paper presents an up-to-date study on the observer-based control problem for nonlinear systems in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and actuator dead-zone. By introducing a dynamic signal to dominate the unmodeled dynamics and using an adaptive nonlinear damping to counter the effects of the nonlinearities and dead-zone input, the proposed observer and controller can ensure that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness. Only one adaptive parameter is needed no matter how many unknown parameters there are. The system investigated is more general and there is no need to solve Linear matrix inequality (LMI). Moreover, with our method, some assumptions imposed on nonlinear terms and dead-zone input are relaxed. Finally, simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control scheme.

Nonlinear sliding mode high-gain observers for fault estimation

A robust high gain observer for state and unknown inputs/faults estimations for a special class of nonlinear systems is developed in this article. Ensuring the observability of the faults/unknown inputs with respect to the outputs, the faults can be estimated from the sliding surface. Under a Lipschitz condition for the nonlinear part, the high gain observers are designed under some regularity assumptions. In the sliding mode, the convergence of the estimation error dynamics is proven similar to the analysis of high-gain observers.     

Neural network-based robust adaptive control of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics

A neural network-based robust adaptive control design scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear systems represented by input–output models with an unknown nonlinear function and unmodeled dynamics. By on-line approximating the unknown nonlinear functions and unmodeled dynamics by radial basis function (RBF) networks, the proposed approach does not require the unknown parameters to satisfy the linear dependence condition. It is proved that with the proposed control law, the closed-loop system is stable and the tracking error converges to zero in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and unknown nonlinearity. A simulation example is presented to demonstrate the method.

Output feedback regulation control for a class of cascade nonlinear systems by time‐varying Kalman observer

The global output feedback regulation problem is studied for a class of cascade nonlinear systems. The considered system represents more general classes of nonlinear uncertain systems, including the integral input‐to‐state stable (iISS) unmodeled dynamics, the unknown control direction, the parameter uncertainty, and the external disturbance additively in the input channel. Technically, we explore the changing supply rate technique for the iISS system to deal the iISS unmodeled dynamics and apply the Nussbaum‐type gain into the control design to overcome the unknown control direction. Additionally, a dynamic extended state observer in the form of a time‐varying Kalman observer is novelly constructed to overcome the unmeasured state components in the nonlinear uncertainties. It is shown that the global regulation problem is well addressed by the proposed method, and its efficacy is demonstrated by a fan speed control system.     

Adaptive neural network output feedback control of stochastic nonlinear systems with dynamical uncertainties

In this paper, a robust adaptive neural network (NN) backstepping output feedback control approach is proposed for a class of uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear functions, unmodeled dynamics, dynamical uncertainties and without requiring the measurements of the states. The NNs are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and a filter observer is designed for estimating the unmeasured states. To solve the problem of the dynamical uncertainties, the changing supply function is incorporated into the backstepping recursive design technique, and a new robust adaptive NN output feedback control approach is constructed. It is mathematically proved that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded in probability, and the observer errors and the output of the system converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by choosing design parameters appropriately. The simulation example and comparison results further justify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Adaptive fuzzy backstepping output feedback control for strict feedback nonlinear systems with unknown sign of high-frequency gain

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy robust output feedback control approach is proposed for a class of SISO nonlinear strict-feedback systems with unknown sign of high-frequency gain and the unmeasured states. The nonlinear systems addressed in this paper are assumed to possess the unmodeled dynamics, dynamical disturbances and unknown nonlinear functions, where the unknown nonlinear functions are not linearly parameterized, and no prior knowledge of their bounds is available. In the recursive designing, fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, K-filters are designed to estimate the unmeasured states, and a dynamical signal and Nussbaum gain functions are introduced to handle the unmodeled dynamics and the unknown sign of the high-frequency gain, respectively. Based on Lyapunov function method, a stable adaptive fuzzy output feedback control scheme is developed. It is mathematically proved that the proposed adaptive fuzzy control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded, the output converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by the simulation examples.     

Adaptive regulation of nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics

A feedback linearization design is presented which includes unknown parameters and unmodeled dynamics. An adaptive update law which counteracts the effects of unknown parameters is shown to be robust to the unmodeled dynamics. The proposed design methodology is based on a conceptually simple stability analysis. Conditions are given for global stability of an adaptive control law designed for the reduced-order model of a class of nonlinear plants. In the presence of unmodeled dynamics, the regulation property is preserved in a stability region. The size of the region is estimated using bounds that not only prove robustness, but also allow a comparison between adaptive and nonadaptive nonlinear controls     

Redesign of adaptive observers for improved parameter identification in nonlinear systems

We propose a method for redesigning adaptive observers for nonlinear systems. The redesign uses an adaptive law that is based on delayed observers. This increases the computational burden, but gives significantly better parameter identification and robustness properties. In particular, given that a special persistency of excitation condition is satisfied, we prove uniform global asymptotic stability and semi-global exponential stability of the origin of the state and parameter estimation error, and give explicit lower bounds on the convergence rate of both the state and parameter estimation error dynamics. For initial conditions with a known upper bound, we prove tunable exponential convergence rate. To illustrate the use of the proposed method, we apply it to estimate the unmeasured flow rate and the uncertain friction parameters in a model of a managed pressure drilling system. The simulation results clearly show the improved performance of the redesigned adaptive observer compared to a traditional design.     

Prescribed performance adaptive neural output feedback dynamic surface control for a class of strict‐feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with full state constraints and unmodeled dynamics

This paper studies the output feedback tracking control problem for a class of strict‐feedback uncertain nonlinear systems with full state constraints and unmodeled dynamics using a prescribed performance adaptive neural dynamic surface control design approach. A nonlinear mapping technique is employed to address the state constraints. Radial basis function neural networks are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. The unmodeled dynamics is addressed by introducing an available dynamic signal. Subsequently, we construct the controller and parameter adaptive laws using a backstepping technique. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that all signals in the closed‐loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded and that the tracking error always remains within the prescribed performance bound. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.     

State estimation for linear hybrid systems with periodic jumps and unknown inputs

In order to solve the state estimation problem for linear hybrid systems with periodic jumps and unknown inputs, some hybrid observers are proposed. The proposed observers admit a Luenberger‐like structure and the synthesis is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Therefore, the proposed observer designs are completely constructive and provide some input‐to‐state stability properties with respect to unknown inputs. It is worth mentioning that the structure of the hybrid observers, as well as the structure of the LMIs, depends on some observability properties of the flow and jump dynamics, respectively. Then, in order to compensate the effect of the unknown inputs, a hybrid sliding‐mode observer is added to the Luenberger‐like observer structure, providing exponential convergence to zero of the state estimation error despite certain class of unknown inputs. The existence of the hybrid observers and the unknown input hybrid observer is guaranteed if and only if the hybrid system is observable and strongly observable, respectively. Some numerical examples illustrate the feasibility of the proposed estimation approach.     

Remarks on nonlinear adaptive observer design

A solution to the problem of state estimation for systems with unknown parameters is to use some on-line adaptation of the observer parameters. On the basis of various existing results for such adaptive observer designs, a unifying “adaptive observer form” is proposed in this paper. This form indeed emphasizes properties allowing some asymptotic state estimation in spite of unknown parameters, as well as additional properties which further allow parameter estimation. As an example, it is shown how an adaptive observer can be designed for a class of state affine systems.

Input output linearization approach to state observer design fornonlinear system

Presents a state observer for a class of nonlinear systems based on the input output linearization. While the previous result presented state observers for nonlinear systems of full relative degree, we proposed a procedure fur the design of nonlinear state observers which do not require the hypothesis of full relative degree. Assuming that there exists a global state observer for internal dynamics and that some functions are globally Lipschitz, we can design a globally convergent state observer. It is also shown that if the zero dynamics are locally exponentially stable, then there exists a local state observer. An example is given to illustrate the proposed design of nonlinear state observers     

Adaptive stabilization of a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with backstepping control

In this paper, we focus on the problem of adaptive stabilization for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems, whose non-switching part consists of feedback linearizable dynamics. The main result is that we propose adaptive controllers such that the considered switched systems with unknown parameters can be stabilized under arbitrary switching signals. First, we design the adaptive state feedback controller based on tuning the estimations of the bounds on switching parameters in the transformed system, instead of estimating the switching parameters directly. Next, by incorporating some augmented design parameters, the adaptive output feedback controller is designed. The proposed approach allows us to construct a common Lyapunov function and thus the closed-loop system can be stabilized without the restriction on dwell-time, which is needed in most of the existing results considering output feedback control. A numerical example and computer simulations are provided to validate the proposed controllers.     

Robust adaptive prescribed performance control for a class of nonlinear pure‐feedback systems

An adaptive prescribed performance control design procedure for a class of nonlinear pure‐feedback systems with both unknown vector parameters and unmodeled dynamics is presented. The unmodeled dynamics lie within some bounded functions, which are assumed to be partially known. A state transformation and an auxiliary system are proposed to avoid using the cumbersome formula to handle the nonaffine structure. Simultaneously, a parameter‐type Lyapunov function and L function are designed to ensure the prescribed performance of the pure‐feedback system. As illustrated by examples, the proposed adaptive prescribed performance control scheme is shown to guarantee global uniform ultimate boundedness. At the same time, this method not only guarantees the prescribed performance of the system but also makes the tracking error asymptotically close to a certain value or stable.
