And Performance

In this paper, the control problem of a class I of underactuated mechanical systems (UMSs) is addressed. The considered class includes nonlinear UMSs with two degrees of freedom and one control input. Firstly, we propose the design of a robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) control law, adequate for this special class. Based on a change of coordinates, the dynamics is transformed into a strict-feedback (SF) form. A Lyapunov-based technique is then employed to prove the asymptotic stability of the resulting closed-loop system. Numerical simulation results show the robustness and performance of the original RISE toward parametric uncertainties and disturbance rejection. A comparative study with a conventional sliding mode control reveals a significant robustness improvement with the proposed original RISE controller. However, in real-time experiments, the amplification of the measurement noise is a major problem. It has an impact on the behaviour of the motor and reduces the performance of the system. To deal with this issue, we propose to estimate the velocity using the robust Levant differentiator instead of the numerical derivative. Real-time experiments were performed on the testbed of the inertia wheel inverted pendulum to demonstrate the relevance of the proposed observer-based RISE control scheme. The obtained real-time experimental results and the obtained evaluation indices show clearly a better performance of the proposed observer-based RISE approach compared to the sliding mode and the original RISE controllers.

Time Invariant

It is well known that linear time-invariant controllers fail to provide desired robustness margins (e.g. gain margin, phase margin) for plants with non-minimum phase zeros. Attempts have been made in literature to alleviate this problem using high-frequency periodic controllers. But because of high frequency in nature, real-time implementation of these controllers is very challenging. In fact, no practical applications of such controllers for multivariable plants have been reported in literature till date. This article considers a laboratory-based, two-input–two-output, quadruple-tank process with a non-minimum phase zero for real-time implementation of the above periodic controller. To design the controller, first, a minimal pre-compensator is used to decouple the plant in open loop. Then the resulting single-input–single-output units are compensated using periodic controllers. It is shown through simulations and real-time experiments that owing to arbitrary loop-zero placement capability of periodic controllers, the above decoupled periodic control scheme provides much improved robustness against multi-channel output gain variations as compared to its linear time-invariant counterpart. It is also shown that in spite of this improved robustness, the nominal performances such as tracking and disturbance attenuation remain almost the same. A comparison with [Formula: see text]-linear time-invariant controllers is also carried out to show superiority of the proposed scheme.
