DYNAMICAL ADAPTIVE SLIDING MODE OUTPUT TRACKING CONTROL OF A CLASS OF NONLINEAR SYSTEMS

An alternative adaptive scheme to achieve output tracking for a class of minimum-phase dynamically input–output linearizable nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainties is considered. The proposed approach is based upon a combination of the adaptive backstepping design method and a sliding mode control (SMC) scheme to design dynamical adaptive sliding mode controllers and provide robust output tracking even in the presence of unknown disturbances. The validity of the proposed approach, regarding tracking objectives and robustness with respect to bounded stochastic perturbation inputs, is tested through digital computer simulations. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Robust Tracking Control for Self-balancing Mobile Robots Using Disturbance Observer

In this paper, a robust tracking control scheme based on nonlinear disturbance observer is developed for the self-balancing mobile robot with external unknown disturbances. A desired velocity control law is firstly designed using the Lyapunov analysis method and the arctan function. To improve the tracking control performance, a nonlinear disturbance observer is developed to estimate the unknown disturbance of the self-balancing mobile robot. Using the output of the designed disturbance observer, the robust tracking control scheme is presented employing the sliding mode method for the selfbalancing mobile robot. Numerical simulation results further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust tracking control scheme for the self-balancing mobile robot subject to external unknown disturbances.      

Output tracking for nonlinear non-minimum phase systems with output delay and application to an F-16 jet fighter

In this article, output tracking for a class of nonlinear non-minimum phase systems with output delay is considered. By applying the first-order Padé approximation technique to deal with the time-delay function, the original control problem is reduced to the output-tracking problem of a new non-minimum phase system without delay. The bounded tracking profiles of the unstable internal dynamics in the new system are generated by using the nonlinear inversion-based method, and a complete sliding mode control scheme is proposed to stabilise the output-tracking error as well as the internal dynamics. Moreover, the proposed control scheme is applied to solve the flight-path angle tracking problem of an F-16 jet fighter.

Chattering free adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode control for second order nonlinear system

A novel fuzzy terminal sliding mode control （FTSMC） scheme is proposed for position tracking of a class of second-order nonlinear uncertain system. In the proposed scheme, we integrate input-output linearization technique to cancel the nonlinearities. By using a function-augmented sliding hyperplane, it is guaranteed that the output tracking error converges to zero in finite time which can be set arbitrarily. The proposed scheme eliminates reaching phase problem, so that the closed-loop system always shows invariance property to parameter uncertainties. Fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown system functions and switch item. Robust adaptive law is proposed to reduce approximation errors between true nonlinear functions and fuzzy systems, thus chattering phenomenon can be eliminated. Stability of the proposed control scheme is proved and the scheme is applied to an inverted pendulum system. Simulation studies are provided to confirm performance and effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

Sliding mode tracking control with differential evolution optimisation algorithm using integral-chain differentiator in uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper presents sliding mode tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown parameters and system states. The sliding mode tracking controller with the differential evolution (DE) algorithm using integral-chain differentiator (ICD) is designed for the trajectory tracking in uncertain nonlinear systems. The ICD added into the sliding mode tracking systems provides the estimation of unknown states. The DE optimisation algorithm on the basis of ICD realises the unknown parametric identification in the limitation of unknown system states. The simulation is implemented to illustrate that the combined control scheme achieves high precision tracking performances.     

Sliding Mode Neuro Adaptive Control in Trajectory Tracking for Mobile Robots

In this work a neural indirect sliding mode control method for mobile robots is proposed. Due to the nonholonomic property and restricted mobility, the trajectory tracking of this system has been one of the research topics for the last ten years. The proposed control structure combines a feedback linearization model, based on a kinematics nominal model, and a practical design that combines an indirect neural adaptation technique with sliding mode control to compensate the dynamics of the robot. Using an online adaptation scheme, a neural sliding mode controller is used to approximate the equivalent control in the neighbourhood of the sliding manifold. A sliding control is appended to ensure that the neural sliding mode control can achieve a stable closed-loop system for the trajectory-tracking control of a mobile robot with unknown nonlinear dynamics. The proposed design simultaneously guarantees the stability of the adaptation of the neural nets and obtains suitable equivalent control when the parameters of the robot model are unknown in advance. The robust adaptive scheme is applied to a mobile robot and shown to be able to guarantee that the output tracking error will converge to zero.

Nonlinear output tracking in conventional and dynamic slidingmanifolds

Nonlinear output tracking in multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems with unmatched nonlinearities and disturbances is considered in sliding modes. The system is nonlinearly transformed to a form convenient for sliding mode synthesis. Both conventional and dynamic sliding mode controllers are designed to provide the desired nonlinear output tracking. In both cases, only the time-dependent part of the unmatched disturbance must be estimated. An example is provided to demonstrate the new design approach. Results show that both conventional and dynamic sliding mode control are insensitive to matched disturbances, but that dynamic sliding mode control accommodates to unmatched disturbances

Nonlinear Robust Adaptive Deterministic Control for Flexible Hypersonic Vehicles in the Presence of Input Constraint

A nonlinear deterministic robust control scheme is developed for a flexible hypersonic vehicle with input saturation. Firstly, the model analysis is conducted for the hypersonic vehicle model via the input‐output linearized technique. Secondly, the sliding mode manifold is designed based on homogeneity theory. Then an adaptive high order sliding mode control scheme is proposed to achieve tracking for the step change in altitude and velocity for hypersonic vehicles where the uncertainty boundary is unknown. Furthermore, the control input constraint is investigated and another new adaptive law is proposed to estimate the uncertainties and to guarantee the stability of the system with input saturation. Finally, the simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

On tracking control for affine nonlinear systems by sliding mode

The stability problem of output tracking of a bounded time-varying reference by decouplable affine nonlinear systems using sliding mode control is investigated. It is shown that when the error dynamics on the sliding surface is chosen to be linear time-invariant, closed loop stability of systems under the presented sliding mode control can be guaranteed only if the systems are minimum phase.     

Derivative and integral terminal sliding mode control for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems

This paper presents derivative and integral terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems in a unified viewpoint. First, integral TSMC is developed for robust output tracking of uncertain relative-degree-one systems by introducing sign and fractional integral terminal sliding modes. Next, by combining derivative and integral terminal sliding modes in a recursive structure, two derivative-integral terminal sliding mode control (DI-TMSC) methods are proposed to achieve exact or approximate finite-time convergence for the output tracking of higher order nonlinear systems. Different from traditional TSMC, this paper accomplishes finite convergence time for more general high-order MIMO systems and avoids the singular problem in the controller design. Furthermore, the control system is forced to start on the terminal sliding hyperplane, so that the reaching time of the sliding modes is eliminated. In other words, the transient response is improved under more relaxed stability conditions. Finally, several numerical simulations and experiments show the expected control performance.     

Fast terminal sliding‐mode finite‐time tracking control with differential evolution optimization algorithm using integral chain differentiator in uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper presents a fast terminal sliding‐mode tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown parameters and system states combined with time‐varying disturbances. Fast terminal sliding‐mode finite‐time tracking systems based on differential evolution algorithms incorporate an integral chain differentiator (ICD) to feedback systems for the estimation of the unknown system states. The differential evolution optimization algorithm using ICD is also applied to a tracking controller, which provides unknown parametric estimation in the limitation of unknown system states for trajectory tracking. The ICD in the tracking systems strengthens the tracking controller robustness for the disturbances by filtering noises. As a powerful finite‐time control effort, the fast terminal sliding‐mode tracking control guarantees that all tracking errors rapidly converge to the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified via simulations, and the results exhibit high‐precision output tracking performance in uncertain nonlinear systems.     

Output‐feedback tracking in causal nonminimum‐phase nonlinear systems using higher‐order sliding modes

Asymptotic output‐feedback tracking in a class of causal nonminimum phase uncertain nonlinear systems is addressed via sliding mode techniques. Sliding mode control is proposed for robust stabilization of the output tracking error in the presence of a bounded disturbance. The output reference profile and the unknown input/disturbance are supposed to be described by unknown linear exogenous systems of a given order. Local asymptotic stability of the output tracking error dynamics along with the boundedness of the internal states are proven. The unstable internal states are estimated asymptotically via the proposed multistage observer that is based on the method of extended system center. A higher‐order sliding mode observer/differentiator is used for the exact estimation of the input–output states in a finite time. The bounded disturbance is reconstructed asymptotically. A numerical example illustrates the efficiency of the proposed output‐feedback tracking approach developed for causal nonminimum phase nonlinear systems.

Direct adaptive neural control of nonlinear systems with extreme learning machine

A direct adaptive neural control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems is presented in the paper. The proposed control scheme incorporates a neural controller and a sliding mode controller. The neural controller is constructed based on the approximation capability of the single-hidden layer feedforward network (SLFN). The sliding mode controller is built to compensate for the modeling error of SLFN and system uncertainties. In the designed neural controller, its hidden node parameters are modified using the recently proposed neural algorithm named extreme learning machine (ELM), where they are assigned random values. However, different from the original ELM algorithm, the output weight is updated based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach to guarantee the stability of the overall control system. The proposed adaptive neural controller is finally applied to control the inverted pendulum system with two different reference trajectories. The simulation results demonstrate good tracking performance of the proposed control scheme.
