Initial state iterative learning for final state control in motion systems

In this work, an initial state iterative learning control (ILC) approach is proposed for final state control of motion systems. ILC is applied to learn the desired initial states in the presence of system uncertainties. Four cases are considered where the initial position or speed is a manipulated variable and the final displacement or speed is a controlled variable. Since the control task is specified spatially in states, a state transformation is introduced such that the final state control problems are formulated in the phase plane to facilitate spatial ILC design and analysis. An illustrative example is provided to verify the validity of the proposed ILC algorithms.     

Event-based broadcasting containment control for multi-agent systems under directed topology

The event-based broadcasting containment control problem for both first-order and second-order multi-agent systems under directed topology is investigated. Based on certain event, each agent decides when to transmit its current states to its neighbours and the agents’ distributed control algorithms are based on these sampled state measurements, which can significantly decrease the number of the controllers’ updates. All the agents are divided into two groups, namely, the leaders and the followers. The formation control is introduced. The leaders exchange their information to converge to a formation. The followers utilise the information from both their leader neighbours and their follower neighbours and are driven to the convex hull of the leaders using the proposed control algorithms. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.

Stability Analysis of Constrained Nonlinear Model Predictive Control with Terminal Weighting

This paper investigates stability of model predictive control (MPC) for nonlinear constrained systems. New stability results for the MPC algorithms with terminal weighting are proposed using the dynamic programming method, which gives new criteria for choosing state, control and terminal weighting in the performance index to achieve stability of MPC algorithms. Illustrative examples are given to show that by combining this condition with existing ones, much less conservative results can be generated.     

A performance oriented multi-loop constrained adaptive robust tracking control of one-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems: Theory and experiments

A performance oriented multi-loop approach to the adaptive robust tracking control of one-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems with input saturation, state constraints, parametric uncertainties and input disturbances is presented. The control system contains three loops. In the outer loop, constrained optimization algorithms are developed to generate a replanned trajectory on-line at a low sampling rate so that the converging speed of the overall system response to the desired target is maximized while not causing input saturation and the violation of state constraints. In the inner loop, a constrained adaptive robust control (ARC) law is synthesized and implemented at high sampling rate to achieve the required robust tracking performances with respect to the replanned trajectory even with various types of uncertainties and input saturation. In the middle loop, a set-membership identification (SMI) algorithm is implemented to obtain a tighter estimate of the upper bound of the inertia so that more aggressive replanned trajectory could be used to further improve the overall system response speed. Interaction of the three loops is explicitly characterized by a set of inequalities that the design variables of each loop have to satisfy. It is theoretically shown that the resulting closed-loop system can track feasible desired trajectories with a guaranteed converging time and steady-state tracking accuracy without violating the state constraints. Experiments have been carried out on a linear motor driven industrial positioning system to compare the proposed multi-loop constrained ARC algorithm with some of the traditional control algorithms. Comparative experimental results obtained confirm the superior performance of the proposed algorithm over existing ones.     

Stability and convergence analysis of multi-agent consensus with information reuse

In this article, we study multi-agent consensus algorithms with information reuse by intentionally introducing the outdated state information into the traditional consensus algorithms. In the continuous-time case, we first show that the outdated state information combined with the current state information does not necessarily jeopardise the stability of a single system, but may improve the convergence speed without increasing the maximal control effort. Then this idea is extended from the single-agent case to the multi-agent case. When the directed communication graph is fixed, the corresponding Laplacian matrix and the outdated state information satisfy certain conditions, we show that the consensus algorithm with both the current and outdated states can achieve a faster convergence speed than the standard one. We also consider the case of a switching directed communication graph and derive corresponding conditions. In the discrete-time case, we propose a discrete-time consensus algorithm with both the current and outdated states under an undirected fixed communication graph. We then derive conditions on the communication graph, the sampling period and the outdated state information such that the proposed algorithm can achieve a faster convergence speed than that using the standard one. In both the continuous-time and discrete-time settings, we show that the maximum control efforts for the proposed consensus algorithms are identical to those for the standard ones. Several simulation examples are presented as a proof of concept.     

Straight‐Line Tracking Control of an Agricultural Vehicle with Finite‐Time Control Technique

For the agricultural vehicle straight‐line tracking system, three control algorithms based upon the finite‐time control technique have been proposed to force the vehicle to track a straight line. Without considering the lumped disturbance, a backstepping‐like finite‐time state‐feedback controller is first developed. On this basis, an adaptive state‐feedback controller in conjunction with integral sliding mode is further developed in the presence of the lumped disturbance. Finally, a sliding mode disturbance observer is given to estimate the lumped disturbance, and the composite control scheme is presented. Under the composite controller, the lumped disturbance can be compensated and thus the disturbance rejection property has been significantly improved. Simulation results verify the proposed control algorithms.     

Robust model predictive control with guaranteed setpoint tracking

In this paper a novel robust model predictive control (RMPC) algorithm is proposed, which is guaranteed to stabilize any linear time-varying system in a given convex uncertainty region while respecting state and input constraints. Moreover, unlike most existing RMPC algorithms, the proposed algorithm is guaranteed to remove steady-state offset in the controlled variables for setpoints (possibly) different from the origin when the system is unknown linear time-invariant. The controller uses a dual-mode paradigm (linear control law plus free control moves to reach an appropriate invariant region), and the key step is the design of a robust linear state feedback controller with integral action and the construction of an appropriate polyhedral invariant region in which this controller is guaranteed to satisfy the process constraints. The proposed algorithm is efficient since the on-line implementation only requires one to solve a convex quadratic program with a number of decision variables that scale linearly with the control horizon. The main features of the new control algorithm are illustrated through an example of the temperature control of an open-loop unstable continuous stirred tank reactor.     

Partially‐observable stochastic hybrid systems (poshss) state estimation and optimal control

This paper discusses the state estimation and optimal control problem of a class of partially‐observable stochastic hybrid systems (POSHS). The POSHS has interacting continuous and discrete dynamics with uncertainties. The continuous dynamics are given by a Markov‐jump linear system and the discrete dynamics are defined by a Markov chain whose transition probabilities are dependent on the continuous state via guard conditions. The only information available to the controller are noisy measurements of the continuous state. To solve the optimal control problem, a separable control scheme is applied: the controller estimates the continuous and discrete states of the POSHS using noisy measurements and computes the optimal control input from the state estimates. Since computing both optimal state estimates and optimal control inputs are intractable, this paper proposes computationally efficient algorithms to solve this problem numerically. The proposed hybrid estimation algorithm is able to handle state‐dependent Markov transitions and compute Gaussian‐ mixture distributions as the state estimates. With the computed state estimates, a reinforcement learning algorithm defined on a function space is proposed. This approach is based on Monte Carlo sampling and integration on a function space containing all the probability distributions of the hybrid state estimates. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested via numerical simulations.
