This article introduces three areas of study: 1 telefunctioning; 2 a control method for producing telefunctioning; and 3 an analysis of human-robot interaction when telefunctioning governs the system behavior. Telefunctioning facilitates the maneuvering of loads by creating a perpetual sense of the load dynamics for the operator. Telefunctioning is defined as a robotic manipulation method in which the dynamic behaviors of the slave robot and the master robot are functions of each other; these functions are the designer’s choice and depend on the application. (In a subclass of telefunctioning currently referred to as telepresence, these functions are specified as “unity” so that the master and slave variables (e.g., position, velocity) are dynamically equal.) To produce telefunctioning, this work determines a minimum number of functions relating the robots’ variables, and then develops a control architecture which guarantees that the defined functions govern the dynamic behavior of the closed-loop system. The stability of the closed-loop system (i.e., master robot, slave robot, human, and the load being manipulated) is analyzed and sufficient conditions for stability are derived.

A novel concept of feedback loop design for modal test and model updating is proposed. This method uses the closed-loop frequency information for parameter modifications to overcome the problems associated with the conventional methods employing the modal sensitivity matrix. To obtain new modal information from the closed-loop system, controllers should be effective in changing modal data while guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system. The present paper proposes a mode-decoupling controller that can alter a target mode while guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop, and that can be constructed by using the measured open-loop, mode shapes. A simulation based on time domain input/output data is performed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed control method, which is subsequently corroborated via experiments. Experimental data obtained on a beam via the proposed mode-decoupling controller have been applied to estimate thicknesses of a beam. The results show that the proposed approach outperforms conventional methods with a far less number of data set for the estimation of system parameters.

This paper studies the containment control problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with actuator faults (AFs) and external disturbance under switching communication topologies. To address this problem, a new fuzzy fault-tolerant containment control method is developed via utilizing adaptive mechanisms. Furthermore, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the stability of the considered closed-loop system by the dwell time technique combined with Lyapunov stability theory. Unlike the traditional method to estimate the weight matrix, the fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the norm of weight vectors. Thus, the difficulty that the unknown nonlinear function cannot be compensated for when the actuator produces outage or stuck fault is solved. Compared with the existing controllers for nonlinear MASs, the proposed controller is more suitable for the considered problem under the influence of AFs that are detrimental to the operation of each agent system. Besides which, the closed-loop system is proven to be stable by using the developed controller, and all followers converge asymptotically to the convex hull formed by the leaders. Finally, an example based on a reduced-order aircraft model is presented to verify the effectiveness of the designed control scheme.

The problem of reducing a multi input-multi output system to many single input-single output systems, namely the problem of input-output decoupling, is studied for the case of singular systems i.e., for systems described by dynamic and algebraic equations. The problem of input-output decoupling with simultaneous arbitrary pole assignment, via proportional plus derivative (P-D) state feedback, is extensively solved. The general explicit expression of all P-D controllers solving the decoupling problem is determined. The general form of the diagonal elements of the decoupled closed-loop system is proven to be in a form having a fixed numerator polynomial and an arbitrary denominator polynomial. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem of decoupling with simultaneous asymptotic stabilizability or arbitrary pole assignment are established. Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient conditions for decoupling with simultaneous impulse elimination, as well as the necessary and sufficient conditions for decoupling with arbitrary assignment of the finite and infinite poles of the closed-loop system, are established.

This paper presents a simple structure design for bilateral teleoperation systems with uncertainties in time delay in communication channel. The goal is to achieve complete transparency and robust stability for the closed-loop system. For transparency, two local controllers are designed for the bilateral teleoperation systems. One local controller is responsible for tracking the master commands, and the other one is in charge of force tracking as well as guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system in the presence of uncertainties in time delay. The stability analysis will be shown analytically for two cases: (I) the possibly stability and (II) the intrinsically stability. Moreover, in Case II, in order to generate the proper inputs for the master controller in the presence of uncertainties in time delay, an adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filter is designed to estimate the time delay. The advantages of the proposed method are threefold: (1) stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed under some mild conditions, (2) the whole system is transparent, and (3) design of the local controllers is simple. Simulation results show good performance of the proposed method.

This paper presents an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique for load frequency control of a wind integrated power system when communication delays are considered. To improve the stability of frequency control, equivalent input disturbances (EID) compensation is used to eliminate the influence of the load variation. In wind integrated power systems, two area controllers are designed to guarantee the stability of the overall closed-loop system. First, a simplified frequency response model of the wind integrated time-delay power system was established. Then the state-space model of the closed-loop system was built by employing state observers. The system stability conditions and controller parameters can be solved by some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) forms. Finally, the case studies were tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the simulation results show its robustness and effectiveness to maintain power-system stability.

Abstract This paper presents an Investigation on the stability of network controlled temperature control system having Time-Invariant feedback delays, by utilizing a direct method for TDS stability analysis. A PI controller based stability analysis for temperature control system with Time invariant feedback loop delay has been constructed in this paper. The stability problem has been formulated based on the transfer function model of the closed loop system with various time delays. For different subsets of the controller parameters, based on the stability criterion’s maximal permissible bound of the network link delay that the closed loop system can accommodate without losing the stability has been computed. The effectiveness of the obtained result was validated on a benchmark temperature control system using MATLAB simulation software.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the discrete event-triggered dynamic output-feedback ${H}_{\infty }$ control problem for the uncertain networked control system, where the time-varying sampling, network-induced delay and packet losses are taken into account simultaneously. The random packet losses are described via the Bernoulli distribution. And then, the closed-loop system is modelled as an augmented time-delay system with interval time-varying delay. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and the augmented state space method, the sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are proposed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. At the same time, the design method of the ${H}_{\infty }$ controller is created. Finally, a numerical example is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Feedback Algorithm

The output feedback algorithm for dynamic plants with compensation of parametric uncertainty, external disturbances and measurement noises is synthesized. The plants are described by a nonlinear system of differential equations with vector input and output signals. Unlike most existing control schemes in this paper the dimensions of the measurement interference and the output signal are equal, the sources of the signals of disturbances and disturbances are different, parametric and external disturbances can be present in any equation of the plant model. For simultaneous compensation of disturbances and measurement noises it is proposed to consider two channels. On the first channel a part of the measurement noises will be estimated which will allow partial recovery the information about the plant noisy output. On the second channel the disturbances will be compensated. Thus, at least two independent measurement channels are required for simultaneous compensation of disturbances and measurement noises. Sufficient conditions for calculating the parameters of the algorithm in the form of solvability of the linear matrix inequality are obtained. It is shown that the equation of a closed-loop system obtained on the basis of the proposed algorithm depends on the disturbances and the smallest component of the measurement noise. However, if the smallest component cannot be identified a priory, the results of the transients depend on the component of the noise that will be selected in the synthesis of the control system. Thus, unlike most existing control schemes, where the equation of a closed-loop system depends on disturbance and noise, the resulting algorithm provides better transients, because they do not depend on the entire noise vector, but only on its smallest (one) component. The simulations for a third-order nonlinear plant and the synchronization of an electrical generator connected to the power grid are presented. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and the robustness with respect to random components in the noises and disturbances.

Structured Uncertainty

A robust nonfragile observer-based controller for a linear time-invariant system with structured uncertainty is introduced. The [Formula: see text] robust stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by use of the Lyapunov theorem in the presence of undesirable disturbance. For the sake of addressing the fragility problem, independent sets of time-dependent gain-uncertainties are assumed to be existing for the controller and the observer elements. In order to satisfy the arbitrary H2-normed constraints for the control system and to enable automatic determination of the optimal [Formula: see text] bound of the performance functions in disturbance rejection control, additional necessary and sufficient conditions are presented in a linear matrix equality/inequality framework. The [Formula: see text] observer-based controller is then transformed into an optimization problem of coupled set of linear matrix equalities/inequality that can be solved iteratively by use of numerical software such as Scilab. Finally, concerning the evaluation of the performance of the controller, the control system is implemented in real time on a mechanical system, aiming at vibration suppression. The plant under study is a multi-input single-output clamped-free piezo-laminated smart beam. The nominal mathematical reduced-order model of the beam with piezo-actuators is used to design the proposed controller and then the control system is implemented experimentally on the full-order real-time system. The results show that the closed-loop system has a robust performance in rejecting the disturbance in the presence of the structured uncertainty and in the presence of the unmodeled dynamics.

This paper presents the design and control of a two link lightweight robotic arm using a couple of antagonistic Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires as actuators. A nonlinear robust control law for accurate positioning of the end effector of the two-link SMA based robotic arm is developed to handle the hysteresis behavior present in the system. The model presented consists of two subsystems: firstly the SMA wires model and secondly the dynamics of the robotic arm itself. The control objective is to position the robotic arm’s end effector in a given operational plane position. For this regulation problem a sliding mode control law is applied to the hysteretic system. Finally a Lyapunov analysis is applied to the closed-loop system demonstrating the stability of the system under given conditions. The simulation results demonstrate the accurate and fast response of the control law for position regulation. In addition, the stability of the closed-loop system can be corroborated.
