Time-/Event-Triggered Adaptive Neural Asymptotic Tracking Control for Nonlinear Systems With Full-State Constraints and Application to a Single-Link Robot

Adaptive Neural Control of Constrained MIMO Nonlinear Systems With Asymmetric Input Saturation and Dead Zone

In this article, the adaptive neural control is studied for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with asymmetric input saturation, dead zone, and full state-function constraints. A suitable transformation is introduced to overcome the dead zone and saturation nonlinearity, and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) are used to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. What is more, we apply the Nussbaum function and time-varying barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) to deal with the unknown control gains and full state-function constraints, respectively. Based on the backstepping method, a universal adaptive neural control scheme is presented such that not only the state-function constraints of the closed-loop system cannot be violated and all signals of the closed-loop systems are bounded, but also the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood containing the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by an application to the mass-spring-damper system and a numerical example.

Finite-time prescribed performance tracking control for nonlinear time-delay systems with state constraints and actuator hysteresis

In this paper, the problem of adaptive neural network prescribed performance tracking control for a class of non-strict feedback time-delay systems constrained by full-state is studied. Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) are integrated into the backstepping medium to deal with the uncertain functions and the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) technique ensures that the state of the system does not exceed its limits. Subsequently, integrated with the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the proposed control scheme makes the tracking errors converge to the preset region while the state constraint is not violated. Finally, the effectiveness of the scheme is supported by two simulation experiments.

Interval Type-II Fuzzy Fault-Tolerant Control for Constrained Uncertain 2-DOF Robotic Multi-Agent Systems with Active Fault Detection

This study proposed a novel adaptive interval Type-II fuzzy fault-tolerant control for constrained uncertain 2-DOF robotic multi-agent systems with an active fault-detection algorithm. This control method can realize the predefined-accuracy stability of multi-agent systems under input saturation constraint, complex actuator failure and high-order uncertainties. Firstly, a novel active fault-detection algorithm based on pulse-wave function was proposed to detect the failure time of multi-agent systems. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first time that an active fault-detection strategy had been used in multi-agent systems. Then, a switching strategy based on active fault detection was presented to design the active fault-tolerant control algorithm of the multi-agent system. In the end, based on the interval type-II fuzzy approximated system, a novel adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant controller was proposed for multi-agent systems to deal with system uncertainties and redundant control inputs. Compared with other relevant fault-detection and fault-tolerant control methods, the proposed method can achieve predefinition of stable accuracy with smoother control input. The theoretical result was verified by simulation.
