Adaptive Robust Online Constructive Fuzzy Control of a Complex Surface Vehicle System

Abstract

In this paper, a novel adaptive robust online constructive fuzzy control (AR-OCFC) scheme, employing an online constructive fuzzy approximator (OCFA), to deal with tracking surface vehicles with uncertainties and unknown disturbances is proposed. Significant contributions of this paper are as follows: 1) unlike previous self-organizing fuzzy neural networks, the OCFA employs decoupled distance measure to dynamically allocate discriminable and sparse fuzzy sets in each dimension and is able to parsimoniously self-construct high interpretable T-S fuzzy rules; 2) an OCFA-based dominant adaptive controller (DAC) is designed by employing the improved projection-based adaptive laws derived from the Lyapunov synthesis which can guarantee reasonable fuzzy partitions; 3) closed-loop system stability and robustness are ensured by stable cancelation and decoupled adaptive compensation, respectively, thereby contributing to an auxiliary robust controller (ARC); and 4) global asymptotic closed-loop system can be guaranteed by AR-OCFC consisting of DAC and ARC and all signals are bounded. Simulation studies and comprehensive comparisons with state-of-the-arts fixed- and dynamic-structure adaptive control schemes demonstrate superior performance of the AR-OCFC in terms of tracking and approximation accuracy.

Generic Evolving Self-Organizing Neuro-Fuzzy Control of Bio-Inspired Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

“…As a consequence, in recent time research interest is increasing in employing model-free adaptive and self-evolving fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy controller to autonomous vehicles. A selforganizing adaptive fuzzy controller was developed in [27] to control a complex surface vehicle with uncertainties, and external perturbation. A robustifying auxiliary control term contributed to ensure closed-loop system stability of their controller.…”

Improving force tracking control performance in cooperative robots

“…8 Among many control techniques that can be found throughout the literature for cooperative systems, Hwang 1 Benemérita Universidad Autó noma de Puebla, Mexico 2 Universidad Nacional Autó noma de México, Mexico et al studied grasp force for multi-slave telemicromanipulation with a single master. 9 Similar to Hwang et al, unmanned surface vehicles have also attracted recent attention, that is, adaptive robust finite-time trajectory tracking control of fully actuated marine surface vehicles 10 ; direct adaptive fuzzy tracking control of marine vehicles with fully unknown parametric dynamics and uncertainties 11 ; adaptive robust online constructive fuzzy control of a complex surface vehicle system 12 ; and a novel extreme learning control framework of unmanned surface vehicles. 13 Murphey et al considered environment uncertainties, concluding that these effects can be mitigated by using decentralized adaptive techniques.…”

Constrained Adaptive Neural Control of Nonlinear Strict‐Feedback Systems with Input Dead‐Zone

“…Specially, fuzzy logic systems (FLS) or neural networks (NNs) based control schemes have attracted great concern due to their inherent approximation capabilities as well as relaxing linearly in parameters assumption [2,3]. The benefit of applying FLS or NNs is that the problem of spending much effort on system modeling can be elegantly overcome.…”
