Hierarchical sliding mode-based adaptive fuzzy control for uncertain switched under-actuated nonlinear systems with input saturation and dead-zone

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to study the issues of adaptive fuzzy control for a category of switched under-actuated systems with input nonlinearities and external disturbances. Design/methodology/approach A control scheme based on sliding mode surface with a hierarchical structure is introduced to enhance the responsiveness and robustness of the studied systems. An equivalent control and switching control rules are co-designed in a hierarchical sliding mode control (HSMC) framework to ensure that the system state reaches a given sliding surface and remains sliding on the surface, finally stabilizing at the equilibrium point. Besides, the input nonlinearities consist of non-symmetric saturation and dead-zone, which are estimated by an unknown bounded function and a known affine function. Findings Based on fuzzy logic systems and the hierarchical sliding mode control method, an adaptive fuzzy control method for uncertain switched under-actuated systems is put forward. Originality/value The “cause and effect” problems often existing in conventional backstepping designs can be prevented. Furthermore, the presented adaptive laws can eliminate the influence of external disturbances and approximation errors. Besides, in contrast to arbitrary switching strategies, the authors consider a switching rule with average dwell time, which resolves control problems that cannot be resolved with arbitrary switching signals and reduces conservatism.

A Fuzzy-Based System for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Ship Deck Landing

“…The landing decision process is categorized into three classes: feasible, cautious, and not feasible. The work of [ 11 ] proposes a hierarchical sliding mode-based adaptive fuzzy control for underactuated nonlinear systems, such as a UAV, in which there is a mismatch between the control input and the degrees of freedom being controlled that increases the difficulty of control. In [ 12 ], a decision support system is introduced utilizing fuzzy logic to aid the pilots of Boeing 747-100 aircraft.…”

A decision-making mechanism for task offloading using learning automata and deep learning in mobile edge networks

“…A property of an environment and its state signals is called the Markov, and a reinforcement learning problem that satisfies the Markov property is called a Markov Decision Process (MDP) [ 35 ]. A reinforcement learning problem is modeled as an MDP that consists of a set of actions ( ), a set of states ( ), and a reinforcement signal ( ).…”

“…On the other hand, different techniques have been applied for advanced control strategies like state-space controllers, optimal controllers, artificial neural networks, sliding mode controllers, and fuzzy logic [7,8]. Fuzzy controllers have been developing exponentially in increasingly complex applications.…”
